Catch Reports
Lee Nails Heather!
Posted in Catch Reports on 31st August 2006Leicestershire based big carp angler Lee Petty has caught an impressive amount of big carp from a variety of different waters up and down the country since using the B5. However, during the latter part of 2006 Lee decided to take on the mighty challenge of the famous Yateley Car Park Lake, with the impressive Heather the Leather high on his wish list.
Lee fully expected a long haul ahead of him, but armed with the B5 and the confidence of his own ability, it took Lee just one visit to bank one of the country’s most sought after resident’s – Heather the Leather at a massive 52lbs. Top B5 bombing!
The use of Food Oils
Richard Kelly is certainly no stranger to big carp, but that's because he understands the importance of a well balanced nutritional food bait. It's paid dividends for him on numerous occasions, as proved again here with another UK forty.
We firmly believe that a well balanced nutritional food bait will completely out fish baits with little or no real food value, and the inclusion of a food oil will help to provide the essential fatty acids required for the carp’s dietary requirements. Further to this, the inclusion of a lipid source will also have a sparing effect on the proteins used within the bait, thus allowing the carp to assimilate the available proteins far more efficiently. In short, food oils will increase nutritional values and provide an extra source of attraction to the finished bait. In short, the fish love them, they increase nutritional values and to cap it all off, they make the bait easier to roll!
Top tip
If making your own baits, reduce the oil content by 50% during the colder months and add a nutritional emulsifier.
