Catch Reports
B5 banks another elusive forty!
Posted in Catch Reports on 21st August 2010Long term Essential Bait user Andy Clark from Glos recently visited a local gravel pit for an overnight session before work and his commitment was rewarded handsomely when he caught this fantastic 43lb mirror.
The big mirror hadn’t visited the bank for a couple of years but like most big carp up and down the country, it just couldn’t resist the temptation of picking up a B5 boilie! Andy caught the big elusive mirror at about 80-yards range on a gravel clearing close to an island snag where he introduced a kilo of 16mm B5 frozen boilies. He then packed up and went to work a very happy man!!
Liquid Flavours
A cracking forty-plus caught from a pressured venue on the B5 with Shellfish Plum flavour. Bait choice was a key factor to a very succesful campaign on this venue.
Liquid flavours play an important roll within the creation of a successful long term bait recipe for a number of reasons. They will not only help to give the finished bait it’s own unique taste profile, but also give it a distinctive ‘label’ that the carp will come to recognise through association. In other words, you will be educating them to eat the bait and recognise the 'taste' and 'smell' over a period of time.
Be careful not to get flavours confused with attractors though, because in terms of nutritional value, unlike liquid foods, they have little or no food value, however, for the reasons outlined above, they are a very important addition to any successful recipe.
