Catch Reports
Maca's The Man!
Posted in Catch Reports on 15th March 2006Well known Kent angler and long time Essential bait user Jon McAllister is no stranger to banking big carp, and during the earlier part of 2006, he decided to take on the challenge of catching the UK’s largest resident – ‘Two-Tone’.
Jon started to introduce the B5 into the depths of Conningbrooke, and it wasn’t long before the massive ‘Two-Tone’ was seen ‘boshing out’ and sending massive plumes of bubbles to the lake surface over the baits that Jon had introduced! The result was inevitable.
B5 = Big Fish = 64lb 5oz! Job done!
Liquid Flavours
A cracking forty-plus caught from a pressured venue on the B5 with Shellfish Plum flavour. Bait choice was a key factor to a very succesful campaign on this venue.
Liquid flavours play an important roll within the creation of a successful long term bait recipe for a number of reasons. They will not only help to give the finished bait it’s own unique taste profile, but also give it a distinctive ‘label’ that the carp will come to recognise through association. In other words, you will be educating them to eat the bait and recognise the 'taste' and 'smell' over a period of time.
Be careful not to get flavours confused with attractors though, because in terms of nutritional value, unlike liquid foods, they have little or no food value, however, for the reasons outlined above, they are a very important addition to any successful recipe.
