Man On A Mission!

Posted in Catch Reports on 04th July 2006

Martin Finan from Glos was another Essential user that enjoyed tremendous success on a consistent basis throughout the year. We’ve lost count of how many big fish Martin caught, but during one spell he managed to bank seven different thirties in just 12 days!

Martin used the ever consistent Shellfish B5 boilies and all his fish were caught from a difficult low stocked gravel pit. We shudder to think how many fish he would have caught on a more heavily stocked venue!


The journey continues

Mike Willmott wrote his first book, Carp Life, way back in 2002 and it received high praise from all quarters with many angler's proclaiming it to be the finest carp book ever written. The demand was enormous and just two years later, all copies had completely sold out. Due to demand, the book was finally re-printed in 2006, but now, more than a decade later and after five years of putting it all together, the long-awaited follow up to this extraordinary publication has arrived!

This 464-page publication is far bigger again than Carp Life 1, and includes hundreds of different images, line drawings and sketches that have never been published before. Mike very rarely writes in the magazines these days, but all of this unseen material has now come to fore in this new eagerly awaited book that is about to take the carp world by storm.
