During a recent winter session, when the lake was empty and all the other anglers were at home I landed 7 fish to 25lb 2oz. All the fish were landed using snowman hookbaits presented on helicopter rigs incorportating Atomic Jel-E-Wyre Hooklinks and Korda Wide Gape Hooks. The snowman hookbaits were topped with Mainline Hi-Visual Tutti Frutti 10mm Pop-ups.
Get out there and get catching.

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!

After 2 years, regular customer Simon Hogan, finally bagged the one he was after from Bluebell Lake’s Sandmartin in the shape of this long 32lb 8oz Common. Just look at the tail on it, I bet that fought like a demon!
Good angling Simon.

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.

After a year with virtually no carp fishing I had a nice return to my syndicate. The 32lb 2oz mirror carp shown below was my reward. It was caught on 18mm Mainline Activ 8 Boilies. My rig was tied old school D rig style with 30lb GLT No Can See Fluorocarbon to a size 6 Gardner Longshank Incizor hook.

Customer Lea had this pretty ghost carp recently from an Oxfordshire syndicate. Lea’s carp weighed 25lb 4oz and was caught on Mainline Cell Boilies. The successful rig was tied with Atomic Jel-E-Wyre to a size 8 Gardner Mugga Hook. Nice fish Lea, well done.

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 Dynamite Baits Tiger Nuts 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.

Heres a nice 33lb common carp caught by customer Gavin Mcmillan while on a trip to Bluebells notoriously difficult Kingfisher lake. The fish was landed using the ever popular Chod rig.
Well done Gavin.
Customer Andy had a really nice personal best carp recently. Andy’s catch report reads as follows ” A recent 24 hour session at my syndicate produced this 26lb 7oz common another at 20lb 2oz and two upper doubles, all fish fell to blowback rigs using size 6 Solar Long Shank Hook , Atomic Jel e Wire hooklink , Korda Leadclips and Korda Safezone Leaders. Hookbaits were a snowman presentation using a 18mm Mainline Cell bottom bait and a 14mm solar fluoro pineapple pop up.” Well done Andy really nice common.

The Spomb is buoyant so it retrieves super fast. The spomb has achieved a measured cast of 190yrds(173m). View the sequence below to see how the Spomb works.
