Catch Reports
Hip, hip, hooray for Hepper!!
Posted in Catch Reports on 06th June 2013Proper old school anglers are very few and far between these days, but here's a genuine one! Jim Hepper from Kent who some may remember from his early day exploits at Cassein with Rod Hutchinson is still getting amongst the big fish and has been targeting a notoriously difficult Surrey venue in recent years. Secret squirrel Jim has managed to bank the lake's big 40+ common twice on the B5 and lose it at the net on another occasion!
However, Jim's real target has been the elusive big mirror and after losing it last year he was finally rewarded with the magnificent specimen at an impressive 49lb. This fish rarely sees the bank but just like all of Jim's other big fish, it was only a matter of time before she succumbed to our B5 freezer boilies. This just has to be one of the catches of the season. Well done Jim from everyone at Essential - you can now go back underground!!!
Something for the weekend sir!
I'm sure most of us would like to think that we're a little more organised than to get caught out with no bait for the weekend, but in truth we've probably all made the mistake of running out of bait at one time or another! Many customers have contacted us over the years to tell us how convenient these weekend session packs are and how they've 'saved' their trip when they've run out of bait.
They really are perfect for a one off weekend session or to keep in the boot of your car or even your garage. We've even had customers that have taken them abroad on their family holidays with a rod and reel chucked in for good measure just in case they stumble across a hidden gem! Perfect for a weekend session or as a 'back up' on those red letter sessions!
