Catch Reports
Forty before work!
Posted in Catch Reports on 15th August 2010Rick Golder has been back in the action once again! This time a quick overnighter before work on a weed infested Surrey gravel pit produced this hard fighting 41lb 6oz mirror that took Rick over 20-mins to bank after it buried itself in a massive weed bed.
Rick has been trickling in small amounts of 16mm and 20mm B5 boilies on and off for the past few weeks, but as anyone who’s used it will tell you, once the big fish get a taste of it, they rarely seem to eat anything else! By the time Rick got his rigs into position and a kilo of B5 spread over the area, he knew the chances of landing one of the big residents before he left the lake was almost inevitable – he wasn’t wrong! Confidence in a bag springs to mind!
Making your own
The amount of anglers making their own boilies these days are becoming less and less. This is understandable considering time limitations, but for those wishing to venture out into making their own boilies, these Handy Packs definitely are the way forward because everything you need (apart from eggs!) is inside the bucket.
Making your own bait allows you to use your own 'bespoke' combination of attractors to suit your individual needs. You can also make different shapes and sizes, as well as having the option over soft, medium or hard baits, depending on boiling times, or if you wish to include additional hardeners. Further to this, many anglers find it extremely rewarding to catch fish on a bait they have made themselves.
