Catch Reports
Man on fire!
Posted in Catch Reports on 08th September 2011We've been receiving some very impressive catch reports from Lee Carpenter recently who has been fishing at Wellingborough Lakes in Northants. During the past five weeks Lee has banked an impressive tally of 16 carp including five carp over the magical 30lb barrier, including two absolute stunners at 37.02 and 36.10.
Lee has been using a mixture of B5 and Black Snail to create mixed food signals and it has been working fantastically well for him. Coincidentally, this is the same lake that Mike Ryan recently caught the lake record mirror of 42.14 shortly followed by a 41.15 common by alternating between the B5 and Black Snail. The big carp certainly seem to love both baits, but the idea of using the two best food baits ever developed is a very interesting concept and it has worked very well for a number of anglers on difficult venues this year.
Well done Lee, a great bit of thinking angling and we're sure there will be plenty more to follow.

Making your own
The amount of anglers making their own boilies these days are becoming less and less. This is understandable considering time limitations, but for those wishing to venture out into making their own boilies, these Handy Packs definitely are the way forward because everything you need (apart from eggs!) is inside the bucket.
Making your own bait allows you to use your own 'bespoke' combination of attractors to suit your individual needs. You can also make different shapes and sizes, as well as having the option over soft, medium or hard baits, depending on boiling times, or if you wish to include additional hardeners. Further to this, many anglers find it extremely rewarding to catch fish on a bait they have made themselves.
