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!


Nutritional Base Mixes

Rob Fielding knows the importance of using a high quality food bait and as soon as he switched over to using Essential Baits, it completely transformed his fishing.

It almost goes without saying just how important I believe a good quality nutritional base mix is when it comes to catching carp on a consistent basis. You’ve only got to look at the success of the B5, year after year, to understand that a good quality food source will completely out-fish baits with lower nutritional values.

One of the most important things to remember is that carp have the ability to search out and recognise food signals prior to consumption. In other words, a good quality food source will spell the word FOOD as it releases ‘attractor signals’ into the surrounding water.

Baits constructed with little or no food value are unable to do this, and once any added attractors have been dispersed into the surrounding water, there will be no more food signals coming from the bait. In short, a good quality food bait will continue to send messages of food long after other baits have stopped working, and will continue to prove more successful, both short term and long term.
