Catch Reports

Matty on fire!

Posted in Catch Reports on 22nd September 2014

We've had so many catch reports coming in over the past several weeks it's been difficult to keep up with them, but one Essential Bait user who has been on fire in recent months is Matty Gosling, who has been catching lots of good fish, including a number of thirties and a couple of forties up to 46lb!!

Matty swears on the Black Snail freezer boilies when it comes to catching the bigguns and few could argue against him when you consider how many big fish he's caught since switching to our Black Snail a few seasons ago. Matt is a very talented angler and this shows you how effective a combination of good angling coupled with a good food bait can be. Awesome hauling Matty - Black Snail all the way!!


Good quality food baits

I can't begin to stress the importance of using a high quality food bait when it comes to catching carp on a regular basis. A bait formulated with nutritional ingredients will be sending out food signals long after the liquid attractors have been dispersed, this due to the fact that the ingredients themselves will be breaking down and sending out messages of food into the surrounding water.

Cheaper baits that have little or no nutritional value might sound more attractive on the pocket, but they will cost you dearly when it comes to producing the goods. Once any liquid attractors have dispersed, the bait will not be sending out any food signals at all, but further to this, will have no nutritional benefit whatsoever.

Carp, like all other fish, soon learn to recognise a food source and will continue to eat it again and again if it provides them with a sense of nutritional satisfaction. They have the ability to detect a nutritional food source prior to consumption (food signals coming from the bait) and after ingestion. With this in mind, we have developed what we believe to be the highest quality range of nutritional food baits available, and the success of the B5 alone has certainly gone some way to proving this.
