Catch Reports
River whacker for Lee
Posted in Catch Reports on 14th August 2011This report slipped through the net and should have gone up last month, but big UK river fish are a rare event and a thirty from the river has got to hold a similar credibilty rating than any fifty pound lake fish in our book.
After a short baiting campaign using the B5 Lee Willmott took advantage of some nice falling air pressure and fished a short afternoon/evening session to open up his river account this season with this gorgeous 32lb 8oz mirror. The big river mirror was one of Lee's target fish this year so he was obviously well pleased to have put the fish on the bank considering he can only fish about one night a month at the moment. Well in mate!
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.
