Catch Reports
Merv the Swerv bags up again!
Posted in Catch Reports on 26th May 2014Essential's Globetrotting carp catching machine Merv 'the swerv' Pennel has had another amazing weeks fishing in France where he has banked no less than 10 fish over 45lb and 4 different 50's!! All of Merv's fish fell to our B5 fluoro pop-ups (mainly white and pink 10mm's) fished over beds of B5 boilies.
Merv is in Hungary as we speak and armed with the B5, you just wouldn't put it past him to smash a few whackers out! He's already had a forty within hours of getting there! Top Bombing Merv...
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!
