Catch Reports
Incredible success!
Posted in Catch Reports on 01st July 2011We've had loads of big common reports lately but Matt Davies has recently taken the carp world by storm and wins our 'Top Catch Competition' hands down. Shortly after catching 'The Mother' from Elstow at 46lb 14oz, (not on Essential Baits) Matt decided to open up his account on Bundy's pit using a mixture of B5 boilies and pellets and on June 16th he banked a new lake record in the shape of this awesome 46lb 6oz common!! This topped an eight fish catch, which also included mirrors of 37lb 10oz and 35lb 4oz - top B5 bombing!!
As if all the above wasn't enough, Matt returned to the pit the following week for a short overnighter and banked anover massive common! This one went 43lb 12oz and was a fish that hadn't seen the bank for 2-years! Once again, the incredible B5 doing the business.
Well done Matt from all at Essential. That really is a hectic spell of big fish action...
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.
