Catch Reports

Just incredible!

Posted in Catch Reports on 13th October 2010

Essential Bait’s consultant Shaun Jarvis won’t forget his last two fishing trips in a hurry! The first session resulted in the capture of a massive mirror from a Hants Stillwater that he’d been targeting for several weeks. After steadily applying his Shellfish B5 boilies to the venue the big mirror succumbed to his net and weighed a staggering 52lb 14oz!

After banking his personal best mirror Shaun then turned his attention to an undisclosed southern Stillwater in search of his next quest, this being to beat his personal best common, but little did he know he was about to accomplish this feat on his very next session! During a short overnight session between work, Shaun managed an amazing 14 carp haul, with the biggest being an immaculate 40lb 4oz personal best common!

Two short sessions, a fifty pound plus pb mirror and a forty pound plus pb common. Incredible stuff Shaun and top B5 bombing. Congratulations form all the Essential team.


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!
