Catch Reports
Linch Hill Stunner!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th June 2013Long time carper and team Essential member Shaun Jarvis recently visited Linch Hill in Oxfordshire to pit his wits against some of the lovely carp that reside on the complex and was handsomely rewarded with this lovely dark 'looker' of 35lb 2oz.
Once again, B5 freezer boilies doing the damage for Shaun and with fish like that swimming around we've got a feeling it won't be long before shaun is heading back there again - with a few bags of B5 of course!!! Nice one Shaun...
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!
