Catch Reports
Builders Big Brace!
Posted in Catch Reports on 19th June 200658 year old Bristol builder Dave Fuidge has enjoyed a season that most anglers can only dream about! Not only did Dave completely blitz the lake with a ridiculous amount of thirties on a very consistent basis, he topped it off with a 40lb + common and a 40lb + mirror within just a few hours of each other, and yes, all from a UK venue!
This has been Dave’s most successful season ever and just goes to show the ‘Big Fish’ pulling power of the B5. If Dave’s 2006 successes are anything to go by, we predict Dave is going to make more headline news throughout 2007.
Powdered Additives and Extracts
Long time Essential Baits consultant Rick Golder with a stunning '48' from a mega difficult venue. Rick knows the importance of a good food bait combined with the correct ingredients to trigger a feeding response. His results prove this year after year.
The inclusion of powdered additives and extracts within a boilie recipe will undoubtedly make a massive difference in terms of attraction and palatability. Used at the correct inclusion levels, they will trigger a feeding response and lead to prolonged feeding. They can also be hugely beneficial at repelling nasty sediment odours from 'tainting' the bait. The FF6 found within the B5 is a classic example of this and will always make sure your baits smell 'sweet', even when fishing amongst horrible black silt.
Many of these products are used extensively within the aquaculture industry to promote feeding, so it goes to show that these ingredients will play a huge part within the inclusion of a successful bait recipe, both short and long term.
Top tip
Betaine is an excellent ingredient for triggering the carp's receptors. If you want an 'instant' feeding response for short session fishing, just pour 20ml Boilie Glug or Liquid Food over 1 kilo of boilies and sprinkle one level tsp of betaine over the top before shaking vigourously.
