Catch Reports
Stunning Linear!
Posted in Catch Reports on 12th May 2011Long time Essential Bait user Jamie Robb has been making some long trips down from 'up north' to fish at Stoneacres and recently decided to give the new Black Snail a go - he wasn't disappointed!!
Jamie decided to fish the far marging over a bed of chopped Black Snail and was soon rewarded with an 18lb 4oz mirror followed by this absoloutely stunning 30lb 12oz linear. We don't think it will be too long before Jamie meets a few of the lake's big residents!
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.
