Catch Reports
Builders Big Brace!
Posted in Catch Reports on 19th June 200658 year old Bristol builder Dave Fuidge has enjoyed a season that most anglers can only dream about! Not only did Dave completely blitz the lake with a ridiculous amount of thirties on a very consistent basis, he topped it off with a 40lb + common and a 40lb + mirror within just a few hours of each other, and yes, all from a UK venue!
This has been Dave’s most successful season ever and just goes to show the ‘Big Fish’ pulling power of the B5. If Dave’s 2006 successes are anything to go by, we predict Dave is going to make more headline news throughout 2007.
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.
