Catch Reports
Linch Hill Stunner!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th June 2013Long time carper and team Essential member Shaun Jarvis recently visited Linch Hill in Oxfordshire to pit his wits against some of the lovely carp that reside on the complex and was handsomely rewarded with this lovely dark 'looker' of 35lb 2oz.
Once again, B5 freezer boilies doing the damage for Shaun and with fish like that swimming around we've got a feeling it won't be long before shaun is heading back there again - with a few bags of B5 of course!!! Nice one Shaun...
The use of Food Oils
Richard Kelly is certainly no stranger to big carp, but that's because he understands the importance of a well balanced nutritional food bait. It's paid dividends for him on numerous occasions, as proved again here with another UK forty.
We firmly believe that a well balanced nutritional food bait will completely out fish baits with little or no real food value, and the inclusion of a food oil will help to provide the essential fatty acids required for the carp’s dietary requirements. Further to this, the inclusion of a lipid source will also have a sparing effect on the proteins used within the bait, thus allowing the carp to assimilate the available proteins far more efficiently. In short, food oils will increase nutritional values and provide an extra source of attraction to the finished bait. In short, the fish love them, they increase nutritional values and to cap it all off, they make the bait easier to roll!
Top tip
If making your own baits, reduce the oil content by 50% during the colder months and add a nutritional emulsifier.
