Mike’s Diary
Nifty at fifty!
Posted in Mike’s Diary on 04th November 2011Following a long and stressful period which started on May 1st, the new house build is near completion. I've even been managing to string a few short sessions together, which has been something of a rarity for me in 2011. In fact I've managed to bank three lovely 20+ commons in my past couple of trips but to be honest, it's just nice to be back out there sat behind the rods - the very place we all belong!
The fish are also still very active due to the recent spell of mild weather so I think there's still lots of action to be had before winter truly sets in. In fact I sat through an incredible fly hatch last week - on November 2nd!!
Since my last diary piece I've also managed to reach the grand old age of 50 - and boy what a lakeside party we had! 73 guests from as far afield as Blackpool and Manchester attended so I would like to say a massive thank you for all the well wishes I received and for those who attended my 'half century bash'. Dancing the small hours away with the likes of Pete Springate and Dave Gawthorn was a fitting climax to a great night - thanks everyone...
And lastly, a big thank you to all of you guys and girls who have supported us this year. Receiving constant catch reports and pictures made it a little more bearable for me during what seemed like an absolute age when the stresses of life made it difficult for me to be out there 'doing it' myself!
Big up to all of you and tight lines for the winter.
Mike.
Short term preserved boilies
Andy Clark successfully used our short term preserved boilies to tempt this awesome 67lb giant from Gigantica in France.
Many anglers love fresh/freezer boilies, whilst others prefer the convenience of shelf life boilies for those extended sessions or trips abroad. We therefore decided to develop a 'hybrid' between the two and our short term preserved boilies have been used with remarkable success across Europe. Their 30-day shelf life suits many anglers, and if you plan to have your bait delivered a few days before your trip, they will not only be fine for the duration of your stay, but any that are brought back can be put in the freezer and treated as freezer bait thereafter.
These boilies are also ideal for customers ordering bait from outside the UK, because the baits will withstand the shipping duration and can be placed in your freezer ready to use as required. Due to a 'drying out' period they are generally slightly harder than standard freezer boilies.
