More big carp for Richard
Posted in Catch Reports on 31st May 2014One man you can't keep out of the limelight when it comes to catching big carp on a regular basis is Richard Kelly. Rich has been at it again recently and once again, he has been using our awesome Shellfish B5 boilies to very good effect by landing a couple of cracking fish. The first being a fantastic common weighing 35lbs and the second being a stunning 44lb 8oz mirror!
Meanwhile, his fishing partner Andy Waller has been catching a few good fish on the same bait from the same venue, including a couple of mid thirties. Report to follow in due course. They certainly seem to love the B5 on there, but show us a carp that doesn't!!
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.
