Catch Reports

First Time on Bait Produces a Forty!

Posted in Catch Reports on 19th October 2007

It’s always nice to receive catch reports from customers but they don’t get much better than this one! Mike Rigby decided to use the Cream-CSM for a forthcoming campaign at Yateley Sandhurst complex. He’d never used the bait before but was obviously aware of its awesome winter track record. He decided to purchase some freshly rolled CSM, together with some Base Mix/attractors to roll his own.

Well what can we say! On his very first trip using the CSM, Mike managed to bank this cracking 41lb 6oz mirror – his first ever forty, and what a way to start!! But if that wasn’t enough, just a few hours later he managed to nail another whacker, this time in the shape of a 33lb 8oz mirror! Well done Mike, top angling son.


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.
