Builders Big Brace!

Posted in Catch Reports on 19th June 2006

58 year old Bristol builder Dave Fuidge has enjoyed a season that most anglers can only dream about! Not only did Dave completely blitz the lake with a ridiculous amount of thirties on a very consistent basis, he topped it off with a 40lb + common and a 40lb + mirror within just a few hours of each other, and yes, all from a UK venue!

This has been Dave’s most successful season ever and just goes to show the ‘Big Fish’ pulling power of the B5. If  Dave’s 2006 successes are anything to go by, we predict Dave is going to make more headline news throughout 2007.


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.
