Catch Reports
Mahooooosive Mirror!!
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th October 2010We recently had a call from Tim Smith saying he was going to Luke Moffatt’s lake ‘Graviers’ in France and wanted to take a bait that stood him a good chance of catching a big fish or two! For obvious reasons we recommended the B5 and delivered a batch of ESL (extended Shelf life) B5 boilies to him just days before his trip.
The next thing we know, the following week he’s on the phone (whilst still on the bank at Luke’s lake) enquiring what is the biggest carp ever caught on the B5!! It was obvious he’d banked something very special. Indeed he had, it was the ‘Brown Fish’ at a massive 82lbs! And if that wasn’t enough, he’d backed it up with fish of 48lb, 49lb and 52lb! That’s four carp for a total of 231lb – amazing stuff and top B5 bombing Tim. Congratulations from all at Team Essential HQ.
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!
