Catch Reports
Clover rolls over!
Posted in Catch Reports on 15th February 2008Dan Chart from Dorking, Surrey has been targeting the Cemex Longfield Road Lake in pursuit of one its most elusive residents, ‘Clover’. However, on a recent visit to the tricky venue he managed to bank his target fish at a weight of 41lbs. The magnificent mirror is a highly sought after fish and comes from a venue which doesn’t give up its residents that often, but like so many big elusive fish before it, Clover was unable to resist the temptation of the awesome Shellfish B5.
Dan, who is also a bailiff on the venue, fished into the teeth of a strong westerley wind where he presented fifty 16mm B5 freebies to a small silt spot at a range of 10-yards. The bite came just 3-hours after presenting the bait/rig and Dan’s long term quest was finally over. Apparently the celebrations have only just finished!! Well done Dan from all at Essential.
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.
