PB common for Shaun

Posted in Catch Reports on 09th June 2011

Team Essential member Shaun Jarvis is no stranger to the big fish scene and also knows a thing or two about bait. After watching the reacton the carp seem to have on the Black Snail he decided to give it a go on his syndicate water and was instantly rewarded with this huge common of 43lb 8oz. Shaun caught the very same common last September at a weight of 40lb 4oz, although on that occasion the big fish fell for the B5. Further proof that the both the Black Snail and the B5 are exceptional big fish baits.

Well done Shaun - top result.

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.
