Catch Reports
Big Fully Scaled
Posted in Catch Reports on 19th July 2008Mike Edgeworth fom Glos has been catching some cracking fish from a local gravel pit in recent weeks, one of them being this awesome fully-scaled mirror at 38lb 8oz!
This was one of his sought after target fish for the season so as you can imagine, he’s on cloud nine! The ‘Big Fully’ fell to long range tactics where Mike presented 3kgs of 20mm Shellfish B5 boilies to the marginal slope of an island.
Mike has since returned to the venue and has continued his run of big fish action. This time he concentrated his efforts on to a completely different area of the lake and was rewarded with another very big mirror – this one went 43lb 8oz! Once again, Mike’s successful bait was 20mm Shellfish B5 frozen ready mades.
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.
