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.

We now have the new Spomb in stock in both black and white. The Spomb is a great innovation that accurately delivers bait to your spot with no spod spill and no need to mix ingredients before hand. 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. For more information or to purchase the Spomb please click on the above link.

Regular customer Sean Bowen sent in this catch report.
Hi all,
hope you all well, just got back from a 3 night session on Welham Lake, my first session in the UK since last September. Pre-baited a spot a few days prior and was lucky enough to get back on it, which resulted in 17 carp being banked with a mixture of commons and mirrors, two of which where 20′s.
All fish where taken on T1′s and rigs used where claw style made up of ESP Big T’s size 7, tied to 15lb Jelly Wire and Korda Supernatural Braid.
Back over to France next week to fish the river Gav with my mate so will see you soon.
Sean.
Nice fish, well done Sean.

I had another good session recently banking 4 fish, 3 of which were 20lb+ including this immaculate 28lb Common. The fish fell to my standard Blowback Rig set up consisting of a Korda Wide Gape Hook, Korda Weed Green Shrink Tube and Atomic Jel-E-Wyre hooklink with an Armaled Locjaw Safety Leadclip, 3oz Korda Pear Swivel Lead and 3 ft of ESP Leadcore. The hookbait was a 20mm snowman presentation topped with a 14mm Solar Fluoro Pineapple pop-up. The fish were all landed with the aid of the new Korda Subline.
