Amazing Start for Jon
Posted in Catch Reports on 27th July 2007One of the country’s most successful big fish anglers Jon McAllister from Kent has recently had an amazing start to his campaign on an Essex syndicate water. On his very first night, Jon managed to bank a 35lb 14oz mirror, a fish that hadn’t been caught for 4-years - but it got even better! The following night Jon managed to bank a fish known as Stella at a staggering 45lb 8oz.
Jon has been using the Shellfish B5 with a new attractor combination that includes Black Pepper Oil and caught the brace of big fish on his first two nights using it, as well as his first ever session on the water! Amazing stuff Jon – keep ‘em coming!
Bag 'n' Stick Mixes
Team Essential member Wayne Lindsey with one of two 40lb+ commons caught within a week by increasing attraction levels in his baited area.
Since the publication of numerous articles on PVA stick mix presentations, the use of dedicated mixes to facilitate for this style of fishing have become very popular indeed. The main principle behind this type of presentation is being able to place your hook bait smack bang in the middle of a concentrated parcel of food.
In many ways, it's the perfect way to achieve absolute pin point bait presentation around your baited rig, and there are times when it can be an absolutely deadly method. This type of presentation can often lead to an extra bite or two when perhaps single hook baits or stringers fail to achieve the desired results. The extra attraction of tiny particles breaking down around your hook bait will send out a cloud of food that will not only provide a bigger visual target for the fish to see, but will also send out effective food signals into the surrounding water.
