Catch Reports
Forty before work!
Posted in Catch Reports on 15th August 2010Rick Golder has been back in the action once again! This time a quick overnighter before work on a weed infested Surrey gravel pit produced this hard fighting 41lb 6oz mirror that took Rick over 20-mins to bank after it buried itself in a massive weed bed.
Rick has been trickling in small amounts of 16mm and 20mm B5 boilies on and off for the past few weeks, but as anyone who’s used it will tell you, once the big fish get a taste of it, they rarely seem to eat anything else! By the time Rick got his rigs into position and a kilo of B5 spread over the area, he knew the chances of landing one of the big residents before he left the lake was almost inevitable – he wasn’t wrong! Confidence in a bag springs to mind!
Mike on Bag 'n' Stick Liquids
The main function of liquids is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig and increase the chances of fish being pulled into the area. Stick Mixes, Method Mixes and Ground bait can simply be mixed together with water, but by adding a liquid food as well, you will be increasing the food signals coming from the bait. On many occasions I’ve witnessed carp being pulled down from the upper layers on to the baited spot, and I have no doubt that this has been due to the liquids sending out attractive food messages through the water column.
Of course these liquids can be used for a number of other useful applications as well. For example, coating pellets with these liquids will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched out into the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from being soaked in a liquid for a few hours first.
I can honestly say that these Bag ‘n’ Stick Liquids have caught me a number of ‘bonus fish’ when I’ve been pretty much convinced that I would have struggled without using them. There will be a time and a place to use them, but ignore them at your peril!
