Catch Reports
Croptail Linear falls for Finan!
Posted in Catch Reports on 13th October 2010Consistent catcher of big carp and Essential Bait consultant Martin Finan has been targeting a group of big fish this season and recently managed to bank one of the known ‘A-team’ in the shape of this stunning 37lb 8oz linear known as ‘Croptail’.
Martin has been making the long journey back and forth to the pressured venue on very limited time availability but is still managing to get amongst the fish and you can be sure that his main target fish of ‘upper-forty’ proportions is only a matter of time away. Once again, Martin’s ever faithful Shellfish B5 frozen ready mades are doing the bizz as usual. Martin will be providing a few ‘angling blogs’ on his consultancy page as soon as our new website goes live in November – watch this space.
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.
