Essential Baits production manager Lee Willmott still manages to find the odd night to go fishing, and a recent overnighter on his own fishery, Springwood Pool, produced this stunning long common of 30lb 8oz. This is just one of a number of fish pushing through the magical 30lb barrier on the prolific Somerset venue.
Once again, a cold clear night of high pressure did nothing to stop the carp’s appetite when confronted with the Winterised B5 and adds to the growing number of reports we’ve been getting back from the Cold-Water range since November. Lee presented his rig and 4-bait stringer to a silty depression close to a weed bed at 30-yards with 20-free offerings loosely scattered in the area.
