Catch Reports

Its a Family Affair!

Essential Bait boss Mike Willmott has recently returned from a 5-night session on a Belgium river with his Son and Daughter, where despite cold frosty conditions they managed to bank a total of 19 carp. The highlight of the trip was this immaculate brace of commons weighing in at 36lb and 38lb 14oz. Proper Belgian beauties.

All the fish fell to the Winterised version of the Shellfish B5 which always seems to ‘kick in’ once the first few frosts arrive. The latest appearance of the West Country bait baron finally puts pay to any rumours that he has completely lost his marbles and is still hiding out in the undergrowth of a large Colne Valley gravel pit!!
