B5 now nails the Big Dink!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th March 2008Now here’s a nice story…Jason Woods from Dorking, Surrey has been fishing the Cemex Longfield Road lake with his cousin Dan Chart, who recently banked the venues other forty, ‘Clover’ at a weight of 41lb 8oz (pictured above). Since the capture of Clover Dan has continued his quest for the Big Dink and has had a number of other fish from the difficult venue since switching over to the B5.
Now Jason, not wanting to miss a trick, asked Cousin Dan if he could try some of this B5 stuff that seems to be producing all the goods. Dan kindly obliges by giving Jason a kilo of the B5 – and we all know what’s going to happen next!! Yep, out go twenty-five B5 freebies to a silt spot at 15-yards close to two small islands and bingo!! Within a short space of time Jason is smiling at the camera with the Big Dink at a weight of 41lb 10oz! Top B5 bombing yet again.
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.
