Catch Reports

Man On A Mission!

Posted in Catch Reports on 04th July 2006

Martin Finan from Glos was another Essential user that enjoyed tremendous success on a consistent basis throughout the year. We’ve lost count of how many big fish Martin caught, but during one spell he managed to bank seven different thirties in just 12 days!

Martin used the ever consistent Shellfish B5 boilies and all his fish were caught from a difficult low stocked gravel pit. We shudder to think how many fish he would have caught on a more heavily stocked venue!


Advantages of Liquid Foods

Long time carper Dave Gawthorn proudly displays a stunning 40lb+ mirror. Dave often uses Essential's Liquid Foods to his advantage. 

Liquid food additives are undoubtedly an important part of the carp angers bait armoury. Their main function is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig or your baited area. Stick Mixes or groundbaits 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, which in turn is far more likely to lead to a quicker rate of investigation and more frenzied fish activity.

Coating pellets with a Liquid Food will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched in the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from boosting the attraction properties with a Liquid Food. They can be particularly beneficial for short session use when you need to maximise attraction in the minimum amount of time. They are also beneficial for coldwater use when we need to send extra messages of food through the water column in an attempt to arouse those otherwise lethargic carp. Ignore them at your peril!
