Catch Reports
Consistent success
Posted in Catch Reports on 17th August 2010Eddie Johnson from North Wales has been making his 550-mile round trips to the Essex Manor worthwhile with a consistent amount of big fish. Some of you might remember that long distance carper Eddie banked the Fat Lady last year at 55lb 3oz so he’s no stranger to big carp.
Eddie’s recent trips have yielded some cracking carp, including specimens of 38lb 3oz, 37lb 2oz, 33lb 6oz, 29lb and 24lb. As with the fat Lady, he’s recent run of big fish have once again fallen to the ever consistent Shellfish B5. We really can’t give this guy enough credit for the amount of effort he puts into his fishing when you consider the amount of miles he clocks up. A top bloke and a top angler who deserves all the success he gets. Well done Eddie, top B5 bombing – again!!
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!
