Catch Reports
Top Marks Fudgy!
Posted in Catch Reports on 11th July 2007Ageing carper Dave (Fudgy) Fuidge from Bristol has recently managed to bank himself a couple of whackers from a notoriously difficult low stocked Berkshire venue – so he tells us! Dave managed to spot a few carp showing in a different area of the lake and broke the habit of a lifetime by moving swims and putting himself in pole position!
A couple of kilo’s of Shellfish B5 boilies and matching B5 pellets were then presented over a silty patch at the edge of a big weed bed at 60 yards range. Just three DVD’s later and Fudgy was slipping the net under this awesome 38lb 8oz mirror, shortly followed by a cracking 31lb 4oz common. Good angling old fella!
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.
