Jamie on a proper roll!
Posted in Catch Reports on 31st May 2014Jamie Robb is currently on a tremendous run of big fish. He recently contacted us to order some Black Snail boilies and some White Snail pop-ups (awesome combination) to fish over the top. It was for a match he was fishing with his partner. Well they not only won the match by some distance, but in the process Jamie landed this superb 45lb 8oz common! (Left)
The following week Jamie went to Linch hill's Stoneacre venue and managed to bank a brace of thirties, topped by this magnificent 34lb 7oz fully scaled mirror (below). Once again, White Snail pop-ups over Black Snail boilies doing the damage.
But as if all that wasn't enough, Jamie has since returned to Stoney and banked a stunning 40lb 6oz monster known as Baby Choco! Pictures and report to follow. Well done Jamie, that's a proper roll you're on. keep 'em coming...
Powdered Additives and Extracts
Long time Essential Baits consultant Rick Golder with a stunning '48' from a mega difficult venue. Rick knows the importance of a good food bait combined with the correct ingredients to trigger a feeding response. His results prove this year after year.
The inclusion of powdered additives and extracts within a boilie recipe will undoubtedly make a massive difference in terms of attraction and palatability. Used at the correct inclusion levels, they will trigger a feeding response and lead to prolonged feeding. They can also be hugely beneficial at repelling nasty sediment odours from 'tainting' the bait. The FF6 found within the B5 is a classic example of this and will always make sure your baits smell 'sweet', even when fishing amongst horrible black silt.
Many of these products are used extensively within the aquaculture industry to promote feeding, so it goes to show that these ingredients will play a huge part within the inclusion of a successful bait recipe, both short and long term.
Top tip
Betaine is an excellent ingredient for triggering the carp's receptors. If you want an 'instant' feeding response for short session fishing, just pour 20ml Boilie Glug or Liquid Food over 1 kilo of boilies and sprinkle one level tsp of betaine over the top before shaking vigourously.
