I’ve just returned from 2 nights on Manor Farm at Richworth Linear Fisheries. I fished 3 solid bags on the same spot no more that 6 feet apart with 10mm CC Moore Odyssey XXX pop ups topped with Avid Carp Sight Stops and baited up with a bucket of hemp, 10mm CC Moore Odyssey XXX boilies, caster, maggot, pellet and a few other goodies using a Spomb. The fish started showing over the spot late afternoon and into the night. I had a chunky 31lb 15oz mirror just before midnight which was followed by a pristine 20lb 14oz common just before first light. The following evening I was plagued by ducks and struggled keeping all 3 rods tight on a spot before darkness fell. That night the conditions completely changed, the fish activity was a lot quieter and no more runs materialised but I was happy with the fish from the previous night.

After another weekend session on my Nene Valley syndicate I managed to bank 2 carp to 24lb. The fish were landed using Korda Solidz PVA Bags filled with PVA friendly hemp, which was made by drying off some Dynamite Baits Frenzied Hempseed and adding a generous amount of Mainline Hemp Oil and leaving it to soak in for atleast an hour.  Tiger Nut hookbaits were critically balanced and used as hookbaits with Avid Carp Sight Stops for added visual attraction.

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.

On a recent session to Richworth Linear Fisheries I caught a 32lb 4oz Mirror and a 21lb Common. Both fish were landed using critically balanced Tiger nut hookbaits and Avid Carp Sight Stops over a spodded area of hemp, corn, chops, maggots, pellets and crushed tigers. The nuts were presented in Extra Small Korda Solidz PVA Bags with small micro pellets and groundbait and cast to a small clear area in the weed at about 70 yards.

Avid Carp Sight Stops are a useful boilie stop that adds visual attraction to your hookbait. They are available in long and short to suit your hair length and enable you to change bait size without tying up new rigs. The Avid Carp Sight Stops are made of a durable plastic and come in a range of bright and visual colours to draw attention to your hookbait in any conditions. The Avid Carp Sight Stops are availble in either Yellow or Mixed Colour packs.

Step 1

Thread your choosen bait onto the hair.

Step 2

Now attach the Sight Stop to the hair loop via the hook on the underside of the stop.

Step 3

Pull the stop into the bait and you are now ready to go.
