Catch Reports
A Common Assault!
Posted in Catch Reports on 09th May 2012Many anglers up and down the country have reported numerous personal bests and massive changes to their catch rates since switching over to Essential Baits but few more so than Giles Butt who recently had a dream session to remember, which included breaking his pb common twice and catching his first ever forty - all in just a single day's fishing!!
Giles recently switched over to our Shellfish B5 freezer baits and started to catch consistently from day one. Last week he visited the tricky venue for a short day session and managed to bank a couple of nice 20's, but applied a couple of kilo's of B5 in anticipation of a return visit just 4-days later, but judging by what he caught, it looks like the carp were also eagerly awaiting his return!!
Giles arrived shortly after first light for a day only session, but despite limited time he soon found himself getting amongst the action and during the course of the day managed to bank eight carp, which included commons of 24lb 8oz, 27lb 12oz, 36lb 14oz and a stunning 42lb 4oz specimen! Now that's what we call a bloody good day's hauling by anyone's standard!!
One again the awesome B5 has 'blitzed' another venue and proved that even during short session fishing, it has the capability of turning dreams into reality! Well done Giles, congratulations for everyone at essential and top B5 bombing....
Footnote: Giles has just returned from another short session and banked a lovely 33-pounder...you can't keep a good man down - keep 'em coming Giles...
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.
