Catch Reports

Target accomplished

Posted in Catch Reports on 08th July 2009

Following a successful campaign on a large Cornish reservoir Chris Douce from Plymouth has been targeting a Devon estate lake in search of a big elusive common that resides in the picturesque venue. His efforts were recently rewarded however when he banked the immaculate fish at a spawned out weight of 37.06. This was the first time the fish had been caught this year but as always, the temptation of a very good food source coupled with good angling ability eventually led to its downfall.

Chris used Shellfish B5 boilies to track down the elusive common and caught a number of other good carp from the venue before he nailed the long lean specimen. Excellent angling by the west-country based carper and congratulations from everyone at Essential.


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!
