Catch Reports
Forty before work!
Posted in Catch Reports on 15th August 2010Rick Golder has been back in the action once again! This time a quick overnighter before work on a weed infested Surrey gravel pit produced this hard fighting 41lb 6oz mirror that took Rick over 20-mins to bank after it buried itself in a massive weed bed.
Rick has been trickling in small amounts of 16mm and 20mm B5 boilies on and off for the past few weeks, but as anyone who’s used it will tell you, once the big fish get a taste of it, they rarely seem to eat anything else! By the time Rick got his rigs into position and a kilo of B5 spread over the area, he knew the chances of landing one of the big residents before he left the lake was almost inevitable – he wasn’t wrong! Confidence in a bag springs to mind!
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!
