Stoneacre stunners!
Posted in Catch Reports on 06th July 2013Essential Baits die hard Jamie Robb has been making the long trips south worthwhile as usual and his latest conquests came in the shape of a couple of Stoneacre stunners.
Jamie opted for the new black version of our famous B5 freezer boilies to tempt this lovely 38lb 10oz whacker (left). On another baited area Jamie decided to make use of our 'Thaumatin-B' particle booster to enhance his tiger nuts. The result? Another scaley Stoneacre stunner of 31lb 4oz.
Once again, Essential Baits gear producing the goods on a pressured low stocked venue.
The benefits of Pellets
Team Essential member Lee Carpenter with one of his many big fish. Underwater attraction and stimulation plays a big role in Lee's success and pellets are one of the best ways to achieve this.
The use of pellets as a carp fishing bait has been well documented over the years, but their success isn’t surprising when you begin to consider just how many young carp have been fed on them during their early years. Most carp will instantly recognise pellets as a viable food source, and the fact that they break down quicker than boilies means that they release their food signals more efficiently. This will usually encourage smaller fish into the area first, but will often trigger a feeding response from the carp shortly afterwards.
Pellets are also an extremely versatile bait, that can be introduced in a variety of different ways. One of the best methods is to use them inside mini PVA bags with a few crushed boilies. The full package is no bigger than a tea bag, but leaves a nice little pile of food perfectly presented and difficult for the carp to ignore!
Larger beds of pellets can also be very effective, particularly on heavier stocked venues when trying to create competition for food. On lower stocked venues however, a few pouch loads of pellets sparsely scattered around your baited rig will undoubtedly increase attraction and keep the carp searching for food. This method will always keep a food trace in the area and increase the chances of pulling fish into the baited zone.
