Yet another B5 caught lake record!
Posted in Catch Reports on 03rd November 2012Matt Davies has caught an enviable amount of big fish from home and abroad in recent years and his latest conquest is this huge 66lb 4oz lake record mirror from Lac de Desmont in France. Matt used our ever consistent Shellfish B5 boilies to bank no less than 28 carp during his visit, which included twelve 30's, a 42lb mirror, a 48lb common (pictured below left) and a 55lb mirror (pictured below middle). You can always rely on the B5 to come up trumps in every corner of the globe and on any venue.
Matt then returned to the UK and decided to put the B5 to the test yet again by fishing a bed of free offerings in no less than 47ft to see if it would pull the carp down to his baited spot!!! It wasn't long before this lovely 33lb 2oz mirror (bottom right) was gracing his net. Further proof that the B5 is simply irresistible!!
Mike on Bag 'n' Stick Liquids
The main function of liquids is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig and increase the chances of fish being pulled into the area. Stick Mixes, Method Mixes and Ground bait can simply be mixed together with water, but by adding a liquid food as well, you will be increasing the food signals coming from the bait. On many occasions I’ve witnessed carp being pulled down from the upper layers on to the baited spot, and I have no doubt that this has been due to the liquids sending out attractive food messages through the water column.
Of course these liquids can be used for a number of other useful applications as well. For example, coating pellets with these liquids will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched out into the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from being soaked in a liquid for a few hours first.
I can honestly say that these Bag ‘n’ Stick Liquids have caught me a number of ‘bonus fish’ when I’ve been pretty much convinced that I would have struggled without using them. There will be a time and a place to use them, but ignore them at your peril!
