Catch Reports
You can't keep a good man down!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th June 2013Here's a face some of you might recognise. It's Andy Waller with another massive UK caught carp - a stunning leather of 45lb!! This was just part of an incredible 9 fish haul from an extremely difficult water, whereby if you had that many in a season you would be doing well! All of Andy's fish, including the big leather, fell to our ever-consistent Shellfish B5 freezer boilies.
Andy and his fishing partner Rich Kelly had a remarkable season on the B5 last year and it looks very much like this year is going to follow the same pattern! Top B5 bombing lads...
Cork ball advantages
Although we provide cork dust pop-ups, we also appreciate that some customers prefer cork ball pop-ups and I think that it's generally accepted that cork ball pop-ups are the best method for long term buoyancy. This can be particularly advantageous for many modern day rigs such as chod rigs and Hinged Stiff-rigs. These clever little packs allow anglers to create their own cork ball pop-ups with little effort. You can also regulate the amount of paste you use to make them more buoyant or turn them into slow sinkers.
Top tip
If you are having problems with diving birds or nuisance fish, you can combat this by 'meshing up'. The best method we have seen to do this is to cut a small section of tights (we recommend you get your missus's permission first!). Wrap the pop-up in the fine mesh, pull tight, tie off with floss, 'blob' the excess with a lighter and away you go.
