Catch Reports
B5 blitz on Linear St Johns!
Posted in Catch Reports on 10th July 2012This has to be one of the best catch reports of 2012 and just goes to prove how much of an advantage a high quality food bait will give you on a busy circuit water.
Ben Thompson from Taunton recently visited St Johns lake on the Linear complex and completely smashed it to pieces with an incredible 44-fish haul - and if that wasn't enough, Ben also managed to bank a new lake record common in the shape of this stunning 43lb 15oz specimen known as 'The Box Common'! The impressive tally included twenty fish over 20lbs, including this cracking 36lb 15oz mirror (pictured below).
Ben presented his B5 pop-up rigs over Shellfish B5 16mm freezer boilies fished to clear patches amongst weed and varying ranges and topped up the spots with 100-freebies between each capture. Well done Ben from all at Essential. That's an incredible session and puts you in pole position for our 'Top Catch' competition.
The wonders of Thaumatin
Thaumatin is undoubtedly one of the most attractive ingredients we have ever seen when it comes to producing a stimulatory response. It can be used in particles, boilies, boilie glugs, liquid foods, stick, spod and spomb mixes etc, etc. Even match anglers have used it in their maggots and groundbait formulations and romped past their nearest competitors, simply because the fish seem to go into a complete feeding frenzy when this stuff is added to food!
We Would NEVER advocate the use of particles without Thaumatin and we promise that you will see a massive difference compared to particles without it. With so many shelf life particles available on shop shelves, and doubts about the aded preservatives making them taste 'bitter', Thaumatin is the perfect answer. Just a few mils per jar can make the world of difference and significantly improve your catch rate.
Beware of immitations! Essential Baits are the ONLY company that market Thaumatin-B.
