Catch Reports
Over the full moon
Posted in Catch Reports on 02nd September 2009Mike Edgeworth has been dreaming of catching his target fish from a large Glos gravel pit for nearly 10-years after someone denying him the opportunity by requesting him to take the syndicate boat back to the boathouse then catching it on his rods whilst he was gone!! A wicked and some would say despicable act that we would not recommend to anyone unless it was close to the end of the season and time was running short.
However, good things come to those who wait and on a recent trip armed with a bucket full of B5 and a full moon above, the light was shining down on Mikey when after a long hard battle he managed to slip the net under the fish that had eluded him for so long. The scales registered a massive weight of 52lb 8oz! All of a sudden everything was looking Rosie and Mikey was over the full moon! Well done mate and big congratulations from everyone.
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!
