Yet Another First Forty for the B5!
Posted in Catch Reports on 17th September 2007The power of the B5 for nailing the bigger fish never ceases to amaze us and it’s produced the goods yet again. Lee Woodman from Somerset decided to tackle an undisclosed venue that isn’t renowned for big fish, and has certainly never produced anything close to the magical 40lb barrier – until now!!!
What makes this catch even more remarkable is the fact that Lee had never fished the venue before! He decided to bait his chosen swim with 3kg of Shellfish B5 boilies the day before he started fishing. The following day Lee presented his rigs over the baited spot and within just 10-mins of fishing, banked a new pb 40lb 4oz mirror – job done! Well done Lee, top angling and top B5 bombing!
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.
