Catch Reports

Early morning reward

Posted in Catch Reports on 01st August 2010

Consistent catcher of big carp Rick Golder decided to tackle a private Surrey lake and was rewarded with this immaculate 39lb 1oz mirror during the small hours of the morning. This was one of Rick’s target fish for the year so you can imagine how pleased he was when the torchlight revealed his prize.

Rick used his favourite B5 boilies to bank the big mirror and he also lost another big fish just before catching this one. Whilst compiling this catch report we’ve just received another message from Rick to say he’s been back out again, but this time to a different venue, to bank three more carp to 32lb 2oz. As you would expect, Shellfish B5 doing the business again!


Good quality food baits

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.
