Overnight Success

Posted in Catch Reports on 17th August 2007

The likeable Rick Golder is undoubtedly one of the UK’s most consistently successful big fish anglers and has caught an impressive number of big fish since switching to Essential Baits two years ago. In 2006 Rick managed to bank an impressive number of big fish, which included x 17 thirties and x 3 forties!

In recent weeks Rick has been targeting a Colne Valley gravel pit and has been managing to squeeze in one or two short overnight sessions before going to work the following morning. Less than a fortnight ago Rick managed to bank a cracking 38lb 8oz mirror during one of these short sessions, but even this was eclipsed on his most recent ‘overnighter’ when he managed to bank a magnificent brace of big mirrors, weighing in at 39lb 4oz and 40lb 5oz! Talk about going to work a happy man!

As usual it was the ever consistent Shellfish B5 that produced the goods for Rick who said that the fish have been going absolutely potty for the B5. We think his results speak for themselves, but whichever way you look at it, this man is on fire! Well done mate – keep up the good work.

Note: Rick is a regular contributor to Carp Addict for those who wish to read more about how he manages to convert his limited amount of time to fish on the bank.


Short term preserved boilies

Andy Clark successfully used our short term preserved boilies to tempt this awesome 67lb giant from Gigantica in France.

Many anglers love fresh/freezer boilies, whilst others prefer the convenience of shelf life boilies for those extended sessions or trips abroad. We therefore decided to develop a 'hybrid' between the two and our short term preserved boilies have been used with remarkable success across Europe. Their 30-day shelf life suits many anglers, and if you plan to have your bait delivered a few days before your trip, they will not only be fine for the duration of your stay, but any that are brought back can be put in the freezer and treated as freezer bait thereafter.

These boilies are also ideal for customers ordering bait from outside the UK, because the baits will withstand the shipping duration and can be placed in your freezer ready to use as required. Due to a 'drying out' period they are generally slightly harder than standard freezer boilies.
