Catch Report Archive | Real Results with Essential Baits

Dan Harvey was invited along as a guest to fish for an afternoon on the prolific Springwood Pool Fishery in Somerset, and what a fruitful session it turned out to be! Just a couple of hours into the session ‘Harvey’ (as he is affectionately known!) received a violent take on his left hand rod, and after a hard fought battle eventually slipped the net under one of the lake’s biggest residents - would you believe it, a fish called ‘Harvey’!!! (Not named after him incidentally!)

The big mirror pulled the scales around to 35lb 8oz and was a personal best for Dan. Furthermore, it fell just a matter of days after his best mate, Lee Willmott, had smashed the lake record with a different fish of 35lb 12oz! (See above) Once again, Essential’s Winterised Shellfish B5 boilies in conjunction with matching B5 pellets were responsible for the downfall of yet another big winter fish – awesome story, awesome bait!
