Catch Reports
Long distance hauler
Posted in Catch Reports on 16th November 2010Successful big carp angler Eddie Johnson from North Wales has been continuing his 550-mile round trips to the Essex Manor with yet more success. His latest reward came in the shape of this stunning mirror of 42lb 7oz known as ‘Big Lin’.
Eddie has had a string of success in recent years whilst using the B5 to target his big fish venues and needs a bait that he has 100% confidence in considering the amount of miles he clocks up. Well he’s certainly got that!!
Bag 'n' Stick Mixes
Team Essential member Wayne Lindsey with one of two 40lb+ commons caught within a week by increasing attraction levels in his baited area.
Since the publication of numerous articles on PVA stick mix presentations, the use of dedicated mixes to facilitate for this style of fishing have become very popular indeed. The main principle behind this type of presentation is being able to place your hook bait smack bang in the middle of a concentrated parcel of food.
In many ways, it's the perfect way to achieve absolute pin point bait presentation around your baited rig, and there are times when it can be an absolutely deadly method. This type of presentation can often lead to an extra bite or two when perhaps single hook baits or stringers fail to achieve the desired results. The extra attraction of tiny particles breaking down around your hook bait will send out a cloud of food that will not only provide a bigger visual target for the fish to see, but will also send out effective food signals into the surrounding water.
