Catch Reports
Instant success!
Posted in Catch Reports on 25th October 2012Young up-and-coming carper angler Ben Thompson is having a terrific year since switching over to our B5 freezer boilies. Ben recently blitzed Linear St Johns with a 44-fish haul on the B5 (see catch report below) to win our 'Top Catch' competition and has recently carried on where he left off by banking this lovely 39lb 6oz common on just his second visit to a tricky estate lake!
Big commons must have a certain attraction to Ben because he smashed the St Johns common record with a 43lb 15oz monster before catching this near forty specimen! But then again, the B5 has such an impressive 'Big Fish' record it's almost inevitable that the whackers will fall sooner or later - in Ben's case it seems to be the sooner! Top B5 bombing again Ben.
The benefits of Pellets
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.
