Catch Reports
Instant success!
Posted in Catch Reports on 25th October 2012Young up-and-coming carper angler Ben Thompson is having a terrific year since switching over to our B5 freezer boilies. Ben recently blitzed Linear St Johns with a 44-fish haul on the B5 (see catch report below) to win our 'Top Catch' competition and has recently carried on where he left off by banking this lovely 39lb 6oz common on just his second visit to a tricky estate lake!
Big commons must have a certain attraction to Ben because he smashed the St Johns common record with a 43lb 15oz monster before catching this near forty specimen! But then again, the B5 has such an impressive 'Big Fish' record it's almost inevitable that the whackers will fall sooner or later - in Ben's case it seems to be the sooner! Top B5 bombing again Ben.
Liquid Flavours
A cracking forty-plus caught from a pressured venue on the B5 with Shellfish Plum flavour. Bait choice was a key factor to a very succesful campaign on this venue.
Liquid flavours play an important roll within the creation of a successful long term bait recipe for a number of reasons. They will not only help to give the finished bait it’s own unique taste profile, but also give it a distinctive ‘label’ that the carp will come to recognise through association. In other words, you will be educating them to eat the bait and recognise the 'taste' and 'smell' over a period of time.
Be careful not to get flavours confused with attractors though, because in terms of nutritional value, unlike liquid foods, they have little or no food value, however, for the reasons outlined above, they are a very important addition to any successful recipe.
