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!!
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.
