Mid-Winter Whacker

Posted in Catch Reports on 10th December 2009

We’re so please to report this next one. Long term Essential Bait user Paul Wortley from Bournemouth has been enjoying a very successful season on a local gravel pit with several big fish in recent months on the ever consistent Shellfish B5, however, his latest success came in the shape of this proper cold water whacker that pulled the scales around to an impressive 46lb 10oz!

The big mirror was caught at 5.30am next to a submerged weed bed at approx 80-yards after baiting up the spot the previous evening with a mixture of chopped and whole winterised B5 boilies and beat Paul’s previous personal best by 4lb 8oz. Congratulations Paul, good angling and further proof that if you put the B5 in the right spot the big fish will follow.


Customising Boilies

Whilst I still believe the original recipes we produce are still the best ones to use for most situations, I can see why our custom bait rolling department is so popular. It gives you the chance to use the very best food baits available, but with a completely different attractor package to what most others are using.

This can be useful if you feel others may take advantage of your baiting campaign or it could simply be down to the fact that you just want something a little different. We have listed some good examples but feel free to email me if you want something different again. We even have customers sending us their own attractor packages to incorporate into the bait, which of course we are happy to do with complete confidentiality guaranteed.
