Creamseed kicks in as temperatures drop...
Posted in Catch Reports on 17th November 2011Everyone knows the awesome pulling power of our Creamseed boilies as water temperatures begin to drop and Ian May recently proved this when on his very first session using the cold water classic, he banked this immaculate 39lb common from a Glos gravel pit.
As if that wasn't enough, the next time Ian used the Creamseed (he's 2nd session using it) he banked commons of 29lb 12oz and a 25lb 2oz whilst the B5 came up trumps on another rod with a 32lb 12oz specimen.
Welcome to using Essential Baits Ian......lol.
The benefits of Pellets
Team Essential member Lee Carpenter with one of his many big fish. Underwater attraction and stimulation plays a big role in Lee's success and pellets are one of the best ways to achieve this.
The use of pellets as a carp fishing bait has been well documented over the years, but their success isn’t surprising when you begin to consider just how many young carp have been fed on them during their early years. Most carp will instantly recognise pellets as a viable food source, and the fact that they break down quicker than boilies means that they release their food signals more efficiently. This will usually encourage smaller fish into the area first, but will often trigger a feeding response from the carp shortly afterwards.
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.
