Catch Reports
Kingsmead B5 Blitz!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th June 2013Long term Essential Bait user David Acreman always seems to catch a consistent amount of big carp and few people deserve it more when you consider it's a 300+ mile round trip to his chosen venue at Kingsmead, let alone his limited fishing time.
However, David has been rewarded handsomely this spring with a number of very good fish that have all fallen victim to the B5. Some of Dave's captures have been absolute stunners, including this beautiful 30+ mirror and this classic shaped common of 40lb 6oz - what a fish! Top B5 Bombing again dave - keep 'em coming!
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.
