Catch Reports
Impressive Big Fish haul!
Posted in Catch Reports on 23rd March 2008Bristol bachelor David Fuidge decided to give the Squid/Black Pepper version of the awesome B5 a blast on his most recent outing to his Berkshire syndicate water and what an amazing session it turned out to be! Within 24-hours he turned his swim into a fish feeding frenzy as the fish just kept on coming…..
By the end of his 3-night session, Dave’s impressive 15-fish tally stood as follows: two doubles, six twenties to 29lb 4oz, then a 31.04 common followed by mirrors of 32.08, 33.00, 33.04, 35.10, 36.04 and how about this for being honest, a 39lb 15oz mirror! After he has received physiotherapy to his right arm Dave has promised to return!!
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.
