Ricky has no Fear!
Posted in Catch Reports on 07th May 2012Somerset angler Ricky 'Fear' Thomas has once again shown how to combine good angling skills with what many believe to be the very best carp bait ever produced by smashing his syndicate water to pieces and catching the most carp ever caught during a single 24-hour session!
Rick used the ever consistent B5 boilies to bank no less than 23 carp during the hectic 24-hour stint! Fourteen of these were over 20lbs up to 29lb 13oz with the biggest of the session weighing in at 32lb 5oz! Now that's what we call a dream session for any young angler - well done Rick...
Footnote:- In just three 24-hour sessions using the incredible B5, Rick has now landed 20 doubles, over 20 different 20's and four 30's!
Nutritional Base Mixes
Rob Fielding knows the importance of using a high quality food bait and as soon as he switched over to using Essential Baits, it completely transformed his fishing.
It almost goes without saying just how important I believe a good quality nutritional base mix is when it comes to catching carp on a consistent basis. You’ve only got to look at the success of the B5, year after year, to understand that a good quality food source will completely out-fish baits with lower nutritional values.
One of the most important things to remember is that carp have the ability to search out and recognise food signals prior to consumption. In other words, a good quality food source will spell the word FOOD as it releases ‘attractor signals’ into the surrounding water.
Baits constructed with little or no food value are unable to do this, and once any added attractors have been dispersed into the surrounding water, there will be no more food signals coming from the bait. In short, a good quality food bait will continue to send messages of food long after other baits have stopped working, and will continue to prove more successful, both short term and long term.
