B5 banks another elusive forty!

Posted in Catch Reports on 21st August 2010

Long term Essential Bait user Andy Clark from Glos recently visited a local gravel pit for an overnight session before work and his commitment was rewarded handsomely when he caught this fantastic 43lb mirror.

The big mirror hadn’t visited the bank for a couple of years but like most big carp up and down the country, it just couldn’t resist the temptation of picking up a B5 boilie! Andy caught the big elusive mirror at about 80-yards range on a gravel clearing close to an island snag where he introduced a kilo of 16mm B5 frozen boilies. He then packed up and went to work a very happy man!!


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.
