Lake Record Smashed!

Posted in Catch Reports on 10th January 2007

2007 started with a bang when we received a report from Paul Wortley from Hants who has been targeting a difficult local gravel pit. Despite receiving plenty of attention the venue seemed to have completely locked up – that was until Paul arrived armed with the Winterised B5! Within a short space of time and in typical B5 fashion, Paul soon managed to smash the lake record with this stunning 42lb 2oz mirror. Happy New Year!


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.
