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!!
Bag 'n' Stick Mixes
Team Essential member Wayne Lindsey with one of two 40lb+ commons caught within a week by increasing attraction levels in his baited area.
Since the publication of numerous articles on PVA stick mix presentations, the use of dedicated mixes to facilitate for this style of fishing have become very popular indeed. The main principle behind this type of presentation is being able to place your hook bait smack bang in the middle of a concentrated parcel of food.
In many ways, it's the perfect way to achieve absolute pin point bait presentation around your baited rig, and there are times when it can be an absolutely deadly method. This type of presentation can often lead to an extra bite or two when perhaps single hook baits or stringers fail to achieve the desired results. The extra attraction of tiny particles breaking down around your hook bait will send out a cloud of food that will not only provide a bigger visual target for the fish to see, but will also send out effective food signals into the surrounding water.
