Catch Reports
20+, 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+ and a 70+ in just 12-hours!!!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th July 2012You won't see many foreign catch reports of this site but when a customer contacts you to say that he's had fish of 20lb+, 30lb+, 40lb+, 50lb+, 60lb+ and 70lb+ in just 12-hours it does make you sit up and take notice! The lucky captor was Alex Ramsey who was fishing at Domaine De La Ribere in France. All the fish fell between Midday and Midnight and fell to B5 Wafters fished over B5 pellets with the biggest weighing a massive 75lb 12oz!
Having taken his brother to the airport earlier in the day, Alex had to wade out and land the fish all on his own, and as you can imagine, was pretty much exhausted at the end of that mad feeding frenzy!!
Boilie Paste
Mark Stubbles with yet another fine cold water carp. Mark is an extremely succesful and consistent angler and instinctively knows the rewards little edges can bring.
Many anglers tend to overlook the advantages that paste’s can give. Throughout the colder months I nearly always wrap a thin layer of paste around my hook bait. This not only gives the bait a better ‘leak off’ in terms of attraction as the paste slowly dissipates, but also gives the hook bait a completely different texture.
Paste is also an essential requirement if you prefer to make your own cork ball pop-ups or balanced baits. A 10mm cork ball with approx 3mm of paste wrapped around it will give you a nice balanced 16mm hook bait. To make pop-ups however, you will need to wrap a thinner layer of paste around the cork. I find that a 12mm cork ball with approx 1.5mm of paste wrapped around the outside creates pop-ups buoyant enough for most presentations.
Top Tip
We make the paste soft enough for most applications, but if you find the paste starting to dry out a little, just dampen it down with a ‘Bait Glug’ or a ‘Liquid Food’ and re-mould together. (Rinse hands in warm water first)
If you need to leave the paste standing for any length of time, make sure you wrap it up in cling film otherwise it can quickly dry up. It will be fine to wrap up in cling film and leave in the fridge for 24 hours if needed.
