Mike's success continues...

Posted in Catch Reports on 09th November 2011

Mike Ryan's season just gets better and better! Earlier in the season Mike visited his new syndicate water and banked two forties on his first two sessions using the B5 and Black Snail (including a new lake record!). Since then Mike has continues to use the B5/Black Snail combo and his latest success has come in the shape of this lovely 36lb 10oz common. Quiet a few anglers this year have had some outstanding success on some very tricky waters by using a combination of B5 and Black Snail mixed together and it certainly seems to offer something very different - food for thought!


Nutritional Base Mixes

Rob Fielding knows the importance of using a high quality food bait and as soon as he switched over to using Essential Baits, it completely transformed his fishing.

It almost goes without saying just how important I believe a good quality nutritional base mix is when it comes to catching carp on a consistent basis. You’ve only got to look at the success of the B5, year after year, to understand that a good quality food source will completely out-fish baits with lower nutritional values.

One of the most important things to remember is that carp have the ability to search out and recognise food signals prior to consumption. In other words, a good quality food source will spell the word FOOD as it releases ‘attractor signals’ into the surrounding water.

Baits constructed with little or no food value are unable to do this, and once any added attractors have been dispersed into the surrounding water, there will be no more food signals coming from the bait. In short, a good quality food bait will continue to send messages of food long after other baits have stopped working, and will continue to prove more successful, both short term and long term.
