Three Wise Men!
Posted in Catch Reports on 07th May 2012Ben Pester, Jason Crossley and Sean McMahon recently fished a session to remember at the Blue Pool in Burghfield for a week's session. Ben and Jason have had plenty of success using our legendary B5 boilies from a variety of different waters and wisely chose the B5 again for their most recent assault - and the word "assault" was exactly what it turned out to be!!
They absolutely 'blitzed' the venue with an incredible 50-fish haul! This included lots of upper twenties and six thirties to 35lb 8oz - by far and away the most successful spell of angling on the lake for quite some time, but what about this for an achievement - Shaun managed to break his personal best no less than 11 times during the session!!!
Once again the B5 has proved to be the bait that out-fishes everything else and justifies its unbelievable track record - well done lads, awesome hauling...
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.
