Catch Reports
Fantastic season
Posted in Catch Reports on 18th September 2014Another angler that has had an absolutely fantastic season on Essential Baits is Lee Carpenter. Lee decided to use the B5 to target a number of big fish, particularly a big mirror of 40lb+ he had targetted. Working hard at his fishing by doing overnighters between work, Lee soon managed to tally up an impressive amount of big fish, including some absolute stunners!
First up was a pristine looking linear that weighed 33lb 10oz and this was followed by a 31lb 10oz common. Keeping the bait going in, Lee's next fish resulted in a 30lb 4oz mirror and then a stonking great common of 38lb 10oz. After catching the big common, Lee left for work but not before introduced a further 4-kilo of B5 ready for the following day. He arrived for another 'overnighter' the following afternoon, but was awoken during the small hours by what he described as an 'epic battle', before slipping the net under a stunning 42lb 2oz mirror - his target fish!
Well done Lee, effort definitely equalled reward for you mate and massive congratulations from all the essential team. Top Bombing indeed!
Lee's parting comment to us was...."The B5 just never fails"...
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.
