Carp Catchers Blog

During a recent session on a local Northants water I landed 16 fish to 26lb 4oz. Fish were landed using snowman setups incorporating CC Moore Odyssey xxx freezer baits and Hellraiser pop-ups or off the surface using chum mixers coated in CC Moore Odyssey xxx bait dip and 10mm Odyssey xxx pop ups as hookbaits. Fish caught off the surface were caught with the aid of Drennan Super Specialist Barbel Hooks and ESP Controller Floats.

Its that time of year again when boilies come into there own and tend to out catch most other baits. During the Autumn as the temperatures are dropping and the days are getting shorter the carp begin to have a feed up for the coming winter months and boilies are one bait they know are good for them. During a recent session on my syndicate I landed this 26lb Mirror carp on a 15mm bottom bait topped with a 10mm Mainline Tutti Frutti Hi-Visual Pop-up over a small bed of mixed size boilies. Use a good quality boilie like Mainline Fusion Or Nash Scopex Squid.

Get yourself some boilies and go catch ‘um!

The New Rig Marole Bore Rings are an ingenius idea to make bait attachment, fast, simple and effective. No more searching for that lost baiting needle or dropping your last bait stop on the floor, you simply have to screw your bait into place. The Bore Rings are designed to be used with D-rigs, Chod rigs, Blowback rigs etc, basically any rig you would normally have a ring on the rig which your bait is attached to.

The Bore Rings are very versatile in the range of baits they can accomodate. The Bore Rings are ideal for anything from Boilies, Pop ups, Corkball pop ups, Pellets, Artificial Baits, Maize, Nuts and other hard particle baits.

The simple idea of the Bore Rings enables anglers to quickly change their baits without the need for baiting needles, bait stops, rig rings or bait floss.

The rig shown is one of many applications for the Bore Rings, they can even be used for zig rigs and surface fishing. These have been tried and tested, your bait will not come off on the cast.

I made another trip down to Richworth Linear Fisheries recently and had another good result. I landed 12 fish during my session the biggest being a 30lb 4oz Mirror. All the fish fell to either critically balanced tiger nut or boilie hookbaits with Avid Carp Sight Stops fished at 85 yards to the island over a spodded area of hemp, corn, chops, maggots, pellets and crushed tigers. Baits were presented in Extra Small Korda Solidz PVA Bags using 2.5oz Avid Carp Inline Groove Leads and short hooklinks.

A recent trip to one of my syndicates saw me bank another 30lb common known as the ‘Elusive Common’ at 33lb 2oz. The fish fell to a corkball pop up fished on a Chod Rig consisting of an ESP Stiff Rigger Hook, Gardner Tripwire and 9 ft of ESP Original Camo Leadcore.

The fish was backed up with a small stocky and a lovely dark 25lb mirror.
