Catch Reports
A switch to B5 produces two Monster Commons!
Posted in Catch Reports on 25th March 2009We need to keep the details of this one a bit hush hush due to publicity restrictions and water protection but David Bishop has recently had an unbelievable result by banking two different 40+ commons!
The bigger of the two commons weighed in at 45lb and was a fish that Dave had been chasing for the past 4-years to no avail. He therefore decided to switch over to our Shellfish B5 in the hope that a high quality food bait would change his fortunes and it certainly did! In no time at all the elusive big common was sulking in the bottom of his net – job done!
Dave is in no doubt that the B5 played a big role in the downfall of the monster common and decided to use the same bait on a different venue to track down yet another big common. After a period of bait introduction the result was never really in doubt, but unbelievably, Dave managed to nail the big common on his very first night!! It went 42lb 8oz and capped a memorable period in his angling career.
Well angled that man. Top B5 common bombing! Further proof (as if needed!) that the B5 is streets ahead of any other bait on the market in terms of both its attractor package and its nutritional value.
Fluoro pop-ups
Whilst carp are not generally recognised as sight feeders, there are undoubtedly times when they are visually drawn to a food source and bright pop-ups are a classic example of this. It's not surprising therefore, that fluoro pop-ups have proved very effective, particularly if just using a single bait with no free offerings. The winter and spring months are a classic example of this and a single fluoro pop-up cast to a 'showing' fish has resulted in the downfall of many a carp.
But it would be a mistake to think fluoro pop-ups should be just restricted to single bait presentation. Quite often, a fluoro pop-up fished over a bed of bait can fool the wariest of carp and a little 10mm fluoro pop-up mounted above a standard bottom bait can act as a very good visual sight and lead to a bite or two when other methods fail to produce.
