Catch Reports
And yet another huge UK common!
Posted in Catch Reports on 08th November 2011What is it about the amount of huge commons that the B5 and Black Snail seem to attract? Matt Davies has recently banked commons of 46lb and 46lb 6oz on the B5 and now, long term Essential Bait user Charlie Goult has gone and banked this massive 46lb 4oz monster on the Black Snail!! Further proof that 'big elusive carp' can't resist a high quality food bait.
Charlie has had a break from fishing for the past 11-months but soon made up for lost time when he caught the mahoosive pb common from a Nene Valley pit during a session to celebrate his 28th birthday. Happy birthday mate!!!
Powdered Additives and Extracts
Long time Essential Baits consultant Rick Golder with a stunning '48' from a mega difficult venue. Rick knows the importance of a good food bait combined with the correct ingredients to trigger a feeding response. His results prove this year after year.
The inclusion of powdered additives and extracts within a boilie recipe will undoubtedly make a massive difference in terms of attraction and palatability. Used at the correct inclusion levels, they will trigger a feeding response and lead to prolonged feeding. They can also be hugely beneficial at repelling nasty sediment odours from 'tainting' the bait. The FF6 found within the B5 is a classic example of this and will always make sure your baits smell 'sweet', even when fishing amongst horrible black silt.
Many of these products are used extensively within the aquaculture industry to promote feeding, so it goes to show that these ingredients will play a huge part within the inclusion of a successful bait recipe, both short and long term.
Top tip
Betaine is an excellent ingredient for triggering the carp's receptors. If you want an 'instant' feeding response for short session fishing, just pour 20ml Boilie Glug or Liquid Food over 1 kilo of boilies and sprinkle one level tsp of betaine over the top before shaking vigourously.
