Catch Reports
Croptail Linear falls for Finan!
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th October 2010Consistent catcher of big carp and Essential Bait consultant Martin Finan has been targeting a group of big fish this season and recently managed to bank one of the known ‘A-team’ in the shape of this stunning 37lb 8oz linear known as ‘Croptail’.
Martin has been making the long journey back and forth to the pressured venue on very limited time availability but is still managing to get amongst the fish and you can be sure that his main target fish of ‘upper-forty’ proportions is only a matter of time away. Once again, Martin’s ever faithful Shellfish B5 frozen ready mades are doing the bizz as usual. Martin will be providing a few ‘angling blogs’ on his consultancy page as soon as our new website goes live in November – watch this space.
The benefits of Pellets
Pellets are also an extremely versatile bait, that can be introduced in a variety of different ways. One of the best methods is to use them inside mini PVA bags with a few crushed boilies. The full package is no bigger than a tea bag, but leaves a nice little pile of food perfectly presented and difficult for the carp to ignore!
Larger beds of pellets can also be very effective, particularly on heavier stocked venues when trying to create competition for food. On lower stocked venues however, a few pouch loads of pellets sparsely scattered around your baited rig will undoubtedly increase attraction and keep the carp searching for food. This method will always keep a food trace in the area and increase the chances of pulling fish into the baited zone.
