Creaming It!
Posted in Catch Reports on 11th August 2006During November Colin Hunt from Bristol decided to turn his attention to a tricky Wilts venue that contained a stunning looking linear that had a reputation of being ‘quite elusive’! After two quick pre-bating sessions where he introduced 1kg of Cream-CSM barrels on each visit, he returned to the venue to set his traps for a ‘day only’ session.
After introducing 30 free offerings over each rod, It wasn’t long before Colin experienced a frenzied period of fish feeding activity and went on to bank fish of 23lb 4oz, 27lb 14oz, 26lb 8oz and 25lb 12oz, followed by the big linear at 36lb 2oz…….all by mid-morning!!! Not a bad bait that CSM!!
Advantages of Liquid Foods
Long time carper Dave Gawthorn proudly displays a stunning 40lb+ mirror. Dave often uses Essential's Liquid Foods to his advantage.
Liquid food additives are undoubtedly an important part of the carp angers bait armoury. Their main function is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig or your baited area. Stick Mixes or groundbaits 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, which in turn is far more likely to lead to a quicker rate of investigation and more frenzied fish activity.
Coating pellets with a Liquid Food will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched in the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from boosting the attraction properties with a Liquid Food. They can be particularly beneficial for short session use when you need to maximise attraction in the minimum amount of time. They are also beneficial for coldwater use when we need to send extra messages of food through the water column in an attempt to arouse those otherwise lethargic carp. Ignore them at your peril!
