Catch Reports
New forty for Rich!
Posted in Catch Reports on 28th October 2013Fresh off the press today is a catch report from Richard Kelly who has banked yet another forty on the B5, just weeks after his fishing partner Andy 'Whacker catcher' Waller banked a 48lb 2oz mirror from the same venue (see Andy's picture also below).
Andy's '48' has only been out twice this season and both times it fell to the B5! Richard's latest specimen weighed in at 41lbs and is a new forty for the venue. Further proof that the fish have been 'troughing' the B5 this autumn as they prepare for the coming winter.
These two guys really do catch a consistent amount of big carp and the B5 has proved phenomenally successful for them. Well done guys from all the Essential crewe.
Nutritional Base Mixes
Rob Fielding knows the importance of using a high quality food bait and as soon as he switched over to using Essential Baits, it completely transformed his fishing.
It almost goes without saying just how important I believe a good quality nutritional base mix is when it comes to catching carp on a consistent basis. You’ve only got to look at the success of the B5, year after year, to understand that a good quality food source will completely out-fish baits with lower nutritional values.
One of the most important things to remember is that carp have the ability to search out and recognise food signals prior to consumption. In other words, a good quality food source will spell the word FOOD as it releases ‘attractor signals’ into the surrounding water.
Baits constructed with little or no food value are unable to do this, and once any added attractors have been dispersed into the surrounding water, there will be no more food signals coming from the bait. In short, a good quality food bait will continue to send messages of food long after other baits have stopped working, and will continue to prove more successful, both short term and long term.
