Catch Reports
A Cut Above!
Posted in Catch Reports on 09th April 2006Adge Mercato is another West Country angler that has benefited from using the Shellfish B5. The Bristol based hairdresser had been targeting an elusive big fish without much success – that was until he decided to switch over to the B5!
The scissor happy carper then returned to his chosen venue and fished over a bed of Shellfish B5 boilies. It wasn’t long before Adge was soon engaged in battle with his target fish – a stunning 46lb 12oz mirror. Well done that man!
Mike on Bag 'n' Stick Liquids
The main function of liquids is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig and increase the chances of fish being pulled into the area. Stick Mixes, Method Mixes and Ground bait can simply be mixed together with water, but by adding a liquid food as well, you will be increasing the food signals coming from the bait. On many occasions I’ve witnessed carp being pulled down from the upper layers on to the baited spot, and I have no doubt that this has been due to the liquids sending out attractive food messages through the water column.
Of course these liquids can be used for a number of other useful applications as well. For example, coating pellets with these liquids will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched out into the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from being soaked in a liquid for a few hours first.
I can honestly say that these Bag ‘n’ Stick Liquids have caught me a number of ‘bonus fish’ when I’ve been pretty much convinced that I would have struggled without using them. There will be a time and a place to use them, but ignore them at your peril!
