Catch Reports
Just incredible!
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th October 2010Essential Bait’s consultant Shaun Jarvis won’t forget his last two fishing trips in a hurry! The first session resulted in the capture of a massive mirror from a Hants Stillwater that he’d been targeting for several weeks. After steadily applying his Shellfish B5 boilies to the venue the big mirror succumbed to his net and weighed a staggering 52lb 14oz!
After banking his personal best mirror Shaun then turned his attention to an undisclosed southern Stillwater in search of his next quest, this being to beat his personal best common, but little did he know he was about to accomplish this feat on his very next session! During a short overnight session between work, Shaun managed an amazing 14 carp haul, with the biggest being an immaculate 40lb 4oz personal best common!
Two short sessions, a fifty pound plus pb mirror and a forty pound plus pb common. Incredible stuff Shaun and top B5 bombing. Congratulations form all the Essential team.
Bag 'n' Stick Mixes
Team Essential member Wayne Lindsey with one of two 40lb+ commons caught within a week by increasing attraction levels in his baited area.
Since the publication of numerous articles on PVA stick mix presentations, the use of dedicated mixes to facilitate for this style of fishing have become very popular indeed. The main principle behind this type of presentation is being able to place your hook bait smack bang in the middle of a concentrated parcel of food.
In many ways, it's the perfect way to achieve absolute pin point bait presentation around your baited rig, and there are times when it can be an absolutely deadly method. This type of presentation can often lead to an extra bite or two when perhaps single hook baits or stringers fail to achieve the desired results. The extra attraction of tiny particles breaking down around your hook bait will send out a cloud of food that will not only provide a bigger visual target for the fish to see, but will also send out effective food signals into the surrounding water.
