Catch Reports
Hectic 12-hour Feeding Frenzy!
Posted in Catch Reports on 02nd October 2007Martin Finan from Glos has been using the B5 for a number of years with some outstanding results, however, few sessions will probably be remembered quite as much as his recent one when he managed to bank five absolute crackers in a hectic 12-hour B5 feeding frenzy!
The biggest of the bunch was a 40lb 6oz mirror (pictured right) followed by a stunning 37lb 9oz common, but as if that wasn’t enough, he then went on to bank a 33lb 10z Fully-Scaled mirror, a 28lb 6oz mirror and a 26lb 14oz common. Now that’s what we call ‘short session success’!!
Good quality food baits

Ben Thompson with a stunning 47lb 5oz pb mirror caught on B5 freezer boilies when the fish seemed totally pre-occupied with naturals!
I can't begin to stress the importance of using a high quality food bait when it comes to catching carp on a regular basis. A bait formulated with nutritional ingredients will be sending out food signals long after the liquid attractors have been dispersed, this due to the fact that the ingredients themselves will be breaking down and sending out messages of food into the surrounding water.
Cheaper baits that have little or no nutritional value might sound more attractive on the pocket, but they will cost you dearly when it comes to producing the goods. Once any liquid attractors have dispersed, the bait will not be sending out any food signals at all, but further to this, will have no nutritional benefit whatsoever.
Carp, like all other fish, soon learn to recognise a food source and will continue to eat it again and again if it provides them with a sense of nutritional satisfaction. They have the ability to detect a nutritional food source prior to consumption (food signals coming from the bait) and after ingestion. With this in mind, we have developed what we believe to be the highest quality range of nutritional food baits available, and the success of the B5 alone has certainly gone some way to proving this.
