Matt's at it again!!

Posted in Catch Reports on 17th November 2011

Matt Davies has to be a contender for the UK's carp angler of the year award after what he has caught this year! Having already banked a 46lb+ mirror and two different 46lb+ commons (and lots of 30lb+ fish!) Matt's latest conquest is a rare jewel in the crown in the shape of this stunning 39lb 10oz specimen known as the Black Mirror. Matt also caught a lovely 29lb 15oz mirror the same night! Once again, the ever consistent B5 doing the business for Matt.

Footnote: Just as we compile this catch report, Matt has been back in touch to say he's banked two more thirties!! Both commons at 30lb 9oz and 32lb 6oz respectively and as you would expect, both falling victim to the B5!!

Fantastic stuff Matt - top B5 bombing and awesome angling...


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.
