Catch Reports

Another lake record!!

Posted in Catch Reports on 09th June 2011

Marcus Howarth wanted to find out what all the hype was about and decided to put the new Black Snail through its paces. After some very good success on the B5 earlier this year Marcus was a little reluctant to change, but after catching a new lake record common of 37lb 14oz, followed by a 30lb 6oz mirror and a 28lb 10oz common in a single night, he soon realised just how effective the bait was!!!!!

Yet again, another big common falls victim to the Black Snail and judging by the amount of big commons this bait has been catching, it can't  just be down to coincidence. Natural bait + natural attractors = natural feeders? Quite possible. Hold on to your hats, this bait is VERY special indeed!!! 


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.
