Kingsmead success...

Posted in Catch Reports on 16th May 2011

Paul Court's latest long distance journey from Somerset to Berkshire's Kingsmead 1 venue was made all the more worthwhile when he had one of those sessions to remember! Armed with the ever consistent Shellfish B5, Paul managed to bank mirrors of 28lb 2oz, 29lb 8oz, 37lb 10oz and 39lb 8oz.
 
Paul stayed mobile during his session and intercepted moving fish by presenting chod rigs tied up with orange B5 fluoro pop ups fished over light scatterings of B5 freebies. Well angled Paul and once again, top B5 bombing!


Liquid Flavours

A cracking forty-plus caught from a pressured venue on the B5 with Shellfish Plum flavour. Bait choice was a key factor to a very succesful campaign on this venue. 

Liquid flavours play an important roll within the creation of a successful long term bait recipe for a number of reasons. They will not only help to give the finished bait it’s own unique taste profile, but also give it a distinctive ‘label’ that the carp will come to recognise through association. In other words, you will be educating them to eat the bait and recognise the 'taste' and 'smell' over a period of time.

Be careful not to get flavours confused with attractors though, because in terms of nutritional value, unlike liquid foods, they have little or no food value, however, for the reasons outlined above, they are a very important addition to any successful recipe.
