Catch Reports
Colin Hunt's 'em down!
Posted in Catch Reports on 07th November 2011We've recently received a couple of belated catch reports from long term Essential Bait user Colin Hunt. The first from ealier in the year from a notoriously tricky Glos gravel pit where he used our customised B5 with Squid & Black Pepper to extract a gorgeous looking mirror known as Moonscale at a weight of 39lb 12oz.
More recently, Colin visited 'The Manor' in Oxfordshire and once again, using our B5 with Squid & Black Pepper was rewarded with another very big fish. This one, known as 'The Football' went 41lb 6oz and was part of a meritable six fish catch. It doesn't seem any fish is safe once the B5 hits the water! Good work Colin.
The use of Food Oils
Richard Kelly is certainly no stranger to big carp, but that's because he understands the importance of a well balanced nutritional food bait. It's paid dividends for him on numerous occasions, as proved again here with another UK forty.
We firmly believe that a well balanced nutritional food bait will completely out fish baits with little or no real food value, and the inclusion of a food oil will help to provide the essential fatty acids required for the carp’s dietary requirements. Further to this, the inclusion of a lipid source will also have a sparing effect on the proteins used within the bait, thus allowing the carp to assimilate the available proteins far more efficiently. In short, food oils will increase nutritional values and provide an extra source of attraction to the finished bait. In short, the fish love them, they increase nutritional values and to cap it all off, they make the bait easier to roll!
Top tip
If making your own baits, reduce the oil content by 50% during the colder months and add a nutritional emulsifier.
