Catch Reports
Out With a Bang!
Posted in Catch Reports on 22nd September 2007Following on from Jon McAllister’s record UK brace and for possibly the last time using Essential Baits, the Kent based big fish specialist has gone and done it again. He moved on to a Beds syndicate water in search of his next victim, ‘The Mother’, which hadn’t been caught for 9-months.
However, on just his third trip to the venue, Jon managed to bank a 37lb 8oz mirror shortly followed by his target fish at a weight of 47lb 2oz!! Once again, the incredible Shellfish B5 produced the goods for Jon, who will be sadly missed by all at Essential. Good luck for the future m8.
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.
