How To – Avid Carp Corn Stops

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

Avid Carp Corn Stops combine the benefits of an imitation bait with a boilie stop, mimicking grains of sweetcorn perfectly. They are available in long and short to suit different hair lengths, it also enables you to change bait size without the need to tie new rigs. The Avid Carp Corn Stops are made from durable plastic and come in bright and visual colours to draw attention to your hookbait whatever the conditions.

Step 1

Thread your choosen bait onto the hair.

Step 2

Attach the Corn Stop to the hair loop via the hook on the underside of the stop.

Step 3

Pull the Corn Stop into the bait and your ready to go.

Update – Farlows Lake

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

An update now on the campaign to save Farlows Lake from being turned into a marina. I have been informed by the bailiffs that the marina proposals have been turned down by the council. Great news! However the owner is planning to resubmit the proposal, so we will have to keep an eye out for the future. Thank you to all those who emailed in support of the campaign.

Best Fishes,

John

BCAC 2011 – Farlows – Team Carp Catchers

Saturday, April 9th, 2011

Gary Westcott and myself fished in the British Carp Angling Championship qualifier at Farlows Lake recently. Unfortunately we didn’t qualify but we did score five points for the Carp Catchers Team. Gary and I had two carp for 45lb 2oz and also lost one. Garys fish came on his own Innovate Baits boilies, mine came on Mainline Baits Activ-8. We had a great weekend and really enjoyed the experience.

                                                                                            20lb 4oz

                                                                                                 24lb 14oz

Best Fishes,

John

Rod Licence – Final Reminder

Monday, April 4th, 2011

This is final reminder that last years rod licence has now expired, so if you haven’t already renewed yours now is the time to do it. Remember if you fish with more than two rods you will need two licences.

Best Fishes,

John
