Catch Reports
Mission accomplished!!
Posted in Catch Reports on 12th July 2012UK commons really don't get any better than this immaculate 48lb 2oz specimen recently caught by Jamie Robb from a notoriously difficult 'Northern Park Lake'. Jamie pre-baited the venue for several weeks on the 'Black' version of our Shellfish B5 boilies before his assault and managed to tempt the awesome looking creature on just his third day!!
This is not only one of the biggest commons in the UK but one of the nicest looking as well. Well done Jamie from everyone at team Essential, that's an incredible achievement from the north-west where big fish are few and far between.
Footnote: 'Black B5' is a custom rolled bait and only available direct from Essential Baits.
Good quality food baits
Ben Thompson with a stunning 47lb 5oz pb mirror caught on B5 freezer boilies when the fish seemed totally pre-occupied with naturals!
I can't begin to stress the importance of using a high quality food bait when it comes to catching carp on a regular basis. A bait formulated with nutritional ingredients will be sending out food signals long after the liquid attractors have been dispersed, this due to the fact that the ingredients themselves will be breaking down and sending out messages of food into the surrounding water.
Cheaper baits that have little or no nutritional value might sound more attractive on the pocket, but they will cost you dearly when it comes to producing the goods. Once any liquid attractors have dispersed, the bait will not be sending out any food signals at all, but further to this, will have no nutritional benefit whatsoever.
Carp, like all other fish, soon learn to recognise a food source and will continue to eat it again and again if it provides them with a sense of nutritional satisfaction. They have the ability to detect a nutritional food source prior to consumption (food signals coming from the bait) and after ingestion. With this in mind, we have developed what we believe to be the highest quality range of nutritional food baits available, and the success of the B5 alone has certainly gone some way to proving this.
