Stunning Big Common falls to 'The Squid'!
Posted in Catch Reports on 04th March 2009Charlie Goult isn’t wasting much time getting to grips with the new Natural Squid after catching this immaculate 35lb 10oz common just 2-hours before his winter ticket run out! This is the first time Charlie has put the new bait through its paces after being a long term fan of the B5 and Creamseed, but we have a feeling it won’t be the last!
The stunning ‘woodcarving-like’ common picked up a hook bait presented amongst 100 free offerings during a very slow period on the lake, which just goes to show that a good quality bait applied correctly will continue to produce the goods when other baits struggle. Well done Charlie, a much deserved result following a difficult year personally.
The benefits of Pellets
Pellets are also an extremely versatile bait, that can be introduced in a variety of different ways. One of the best methods is to use them inside mini PVA bags with a few crushed boilies. The full package is no bigger than a tea bag, but leaves a nice little pile of food perfectly presented and difficult for the carp to ignore!
Larger beds of pellets can also be very effective, particularly on heavier stocked venues when trying to create competition for food. On lower stocked venues however, a few pouch loads of pellets sparsely scattered around your baited rig will undoubtedly increase attraction and keep the carp searching for food. This method will always keep a food trace in the area and increase the chances of pulling fish into the baited zone.
