Just a few days after his son, Lee, managed to bank a 30lb+ winter common during an overnight session on their own Springwood Fishery, Essential Bait boss Mike Willmott replicated the achievement by catching this deep bodied common of 31lb 10oz. As with Lee’s capture, the fish came during a short ‘overnighter’ and fell to the ever-consistent Winterised B5 frozen ready mades in conjunction with matching pellets.
Mike fished the margins of a small bay where he introduced 20 free offerings and a couple of handfuls of quick break-down pellets during wet blustery conditions. The bite came during the early hours of the morning just a couple of hours after landing one of his small ‘stockies’ from the same spot.
