Oliver has been putting in a lot of time and effort into his pike fishing over the winter and it has paid off. Below is a nice clean pike of 11lb caught from the local canal, a decent size fish from a canal. Oliver caught his pike on a roach from our deadbait section. Nice one Oliver!

Here’s a nice photo from customer Rob of a pike he caught recently. Robs pike weighed 10lb and was caught from a small weir pool on the River Welland. Float fished mackerel from our deadbait section was the successful method for Rob.
Customer Tom The Fox Cox outwitted this awesome pike with a suspended roach from our deadbait section. Toms’ hefty pike weighed 19lb 4oz and was caught from the banks of a reservoir. An awesome catch well done Tom!

During the colder months of the year many anglers tend to use different baits to their preferred summer baits. At this time of year a lot of anglers move over from their summer fishmeal based baits and start using fruity baits such as Mainline Hi Visual Pop Ups or Richworth Pineapple Hawaiian Freezer Boilies . These baits which are brightly coloured and have highly attractive fruity smells are more likely to grab the attention and interest of the carp even if they are not particularly interested in feeding. That isn’t to say that carp don’t get their heads down and feed during the colder periods, it is just that the feeding periods tend to be shorter. High food value fishmeal baits such as Dynamite Baits Source Boilies still work well during winter too, with its highly attractive smell and high nutritional value being prized by the carp during the winter months.
It is also a good idea to change your pellet choice if you’re intending on using them in a larger quantity than just for attraction in pva bags as the high oil pellets which the majority of anglers use during the warmer months are less digestible during the colder months. Although you can still use high oil pellets if you’re only planning on using them in small amounts as pva bag fillers for high attraction.
Groundbait mixes in Dynamite sticks are also a valued bait in the carp anglers armoury with the use of fish oils for added attraction but its a good idea to change from the oils you would use during the summer to a winterized fish oil as the colder water temperatures will cause some fish oils to congeal and your Dynamite sticks won’t breakdown very quickly, it could also hinder the melting time of your pva mesh. You could also try Hemp oil as this is naturally “winterised” so doesn’t congeal in colder temperatures.
Particles and maggots are another big favourite of many anglers during the winter months and carp seem to love them no matter what time of year it is.

How’s this for hardcore. Customer Ian went around town on Christmas eve to celebrate the yuletide festivities, when he got home he loaded his van and went fishing. He was rewarded on Boxing day with this nice 20lb 8oz common carp. Ian was again fishing over a fairly big bed of bait for the winter, getting through 5 kilo’s of Fresh Prawn Spicy Shellfish Boilies . His rig consisted of 10″ of ESP Striptease tied to a Korda Longshank X Hook with a snowman hookbait. Nice one Ian!

If ever there was a winter flavour, Chocolate Malt must be high on anyones list. Well for the winter anglers among you the new Dynamite Baits Chocolate Malt & Tiger Nut Boilies are now in. The Chocolate Malt was developed by Terry Hearn for Dynamite Baits and is based on a birdfood recipe with added tiger nut and liver powders. Terry has been using The Chocolate Malt flavouring for his winter fishing for many years now so to see a bait that he has developed incorporating it, is very exciting. Because The Chocolate Malt is based on a birdfood it should be much more easily digested by the carp, keeping them coming back for more, time and time again. We have the Chocolate Malt & Tiger Nut Boilies in both shelf life and freezer bait, as well as pop ups and to really give your baits a boost we also have the Dynamite Baits Chocolate Malt Liquid Attractant . For more information or to purchase please visit the main site through the above links.

Here’s a nice December perch caught by customer Rob O’Brien. The perch weighed approximately 3lbs a fish that most anglers can only dream about. Rob couldn’t weigh the fish properly as the batteries for his scales had run out. Still it looks the size, well done Rob.
