Catch Reports
Like Father Like Son!
Posted in Catch Reports on 18th November 2007Just a few days after his son, Lee, managed to bank a 30lb+ winter common during an overnight session on their own Springwood Fishery, Essential Bait boss Mike Willmott replicated the achievement by catching this deep bodied common of 31lb 10oz. As with Lee’s capture, the fish came during a short ‘overnighter’ and fell to the ever-consistent Winterised B5 frozen ready mades in conjunction with matching pellets.
Mike fished the margins of a small bay where he introduced 20 free offerings and a couple of handfuls of quick break-down pellets during wet blustery conditions. The bite came during the early hours of the morning just a couple of hours after landing one of his small ‘stockies’ from the same spot.
Good quality food baits
Ben Thompson with a stunning 47lb 5oz pb mirror caught on B5 freezer boilies when the fish seemed totally pre-occupied with naturals!
I can't begin to stress the importance of using a high quality food bait when it comes to catching carp on a regular basis. A bait formulated with nutritional ingredients will be sending out food signals long after the liquid attractors have been dispersed, this due to the fact that the ingredients themselves will be breaking down and sending out messages of food into the surrounding water.
Cheaper baits that have little or no nutritional value might sound more attractive on the pocket, but they will cost you dearly when it comes to producing the goods. Once any liquid attractors have dispersed, the bait will not be sending out any food signals at all, but further to this, will have no nutritional benefit whatsoever.
Carp, like all other fish, soon learn to recognise a food source and will continue to eat it again and again if it provides them with a sense of nutritional satisfaction. They have the ability to detect a nutritional food source prior to consumption (food signals coming from the bait) and after ingestion. With this in mind, we have developed what we believe to be the highest quality range of nutritional food baits available, and the success of the B5 alone has certainly gone some way to proving this.
