More short session success for Rick
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th April 2009Following Rick Golder’s success last month, the Berkshire based fish catching machine has been at it again! His latest success resulted in this cracking 37lb linear (top right) and a 41lb 1oz mirror (below right) during another one of his ‘overnight assault missions’. Rick’s overnight sessions are usually proceeded by a day’s work but we often wonder how he manages to keep his eyes open following such sleepless nights, and like his mate ‘Big George’ says, “He ain’t no spring chicken either”!
Rick has only done 7-nights fishing since his return to the bank after a short break, but during this time has already managed to accumulate a 25, three 37’s and a 41. Although last month Rick was doing the damage on the Creamseed, now temperatures have warmed up he’s switched back to the B5 and has proved what most anglers already know……… when it comes to nailing the big fish week after week, there isn’t anything out there that comes even close to the B5.
Advantages of Liquid Foods
Long time carper Dave Gawthorn proudly displays a stunning 40lb+ mirror. Dave often uses Essential's Liquid Foods to his advantage.
Liquid food additives are undoubtedly an important part of the carp angers bait armoury. Their main function is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig or your baited area. Stick Mixes or groundbaits can simply be mixed together with water, but by adding a liquid food as well, you will be increasing the food signals coming from the bait, which in turn is far more likely to lead to a quicker rate of investigation and more frenzied fish activity.
Coating pellets with a Liquid Food will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched in the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from boosting the attraction properties with a Liquid Food. They can be particularly beneficial for short session use when you need to maximise attraction in the minimum amount of time. They are also beneficial for coldwater use when we need to send extra messages of food through the water column in an attempt to arouse those otherwise lethargic carp. Ignore them at your peril!
