Catch Reports
Mission accomplished!!
Posted in Catch Reports on 12th July 2012UK commons really don't get any better than this immaculate 48lb 2oz specimen recently caught by Jamie Robb from a notoriously difficult 'Northern Park Lake'. Jamie pre-baited the venue for several weeks on the 'Black' version of our Shellfish B5 boilies before his assault and managed to tempt the awesome looking creature on just his third day!!
This is not only one of the biggest commons in the UK but one of the nicest looking as well. Well done Jamie from everyone at team Essential, that's an incredible achievement from the north-west where big fish are few and far between.
Footnote: 'Black B5' is a custom rolled bait and only available direct from Essential Baits.
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.
