Catch Reports
A Common Assault!
Posted in Catch Reports on 09th May 2012Many anglers up and down the country have reported numerous personal bests and massive changes to their catch rates since switching over to Essential Baits but few more so than Giles Butt who recently had a dream session to remember, which included breaking his pb common twice and catching his first ever forty - all in just a single day's fishing!!
Giles recently switched over to our Shellfish B5 freezer baits and started to catch consistently from day one. Last week he visited the tricky venue for a short day session and managed to bank a couple of nice 20's, but applied a couple of kilo's of B5 in anticipation of a return visit just 4-days later, but judging by what he caught, it looks like the carp were also eagerly awaiting his return!!
Giles arrived shortly after first light for a day only session, but despite limited time he soon found himself getting amongst the action and during the course of the day managed to bank eight carp, which included commons of 24lb 8oz, 27lb 12oz, 36lb 14oz and a stunning 42lb 4oz specimen! Now that's what we call a bloody good day's hauling by anyone's standard!!
One again the awesome B5 has 'blitzed' another venue and proved that even during short session fishing, it has the capability of turning dreams into reality! Well done Giles, congratulations for everyone at essential and top B5 bombing....
Footnote: Giles has just returned from another short session and banked a lovely 33-pounder...you can't keep a good man down - keep 'em coming Giles...
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.
