Catch Reports

Mid-Winter Whacker

Posted in Catch Reports on 10th December 2009

We’re so please to report this next one. Long term Essential Bait user Paul Wortley from Bournemouth has been enjoying a very successful season on a local gravel pit with several big fish in recent months on the ever consistent Shellfish B5, however, his latest success came in the shape of this proper cold water whacker that pulled the scales around to an impressive 46lb 10oz!

The big mirror was caught at 5.30am next to a submerged weed bed at approx 80-yards after baiting up the spot the previous evening with a mixture of chopped and whole winterised B5 boilies and beat Paul’s previous personal best by 4lb 8oz. Congratulations Paul, good angling and further proof that if you put the B5 in the right spot the big fish will follow.


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!
