Catch Reports
Massive Linear!
Posted in Catch Reports on 14th October 2007Well known big fish angler and Essential Bait consultant Rick Golder has struck gold yet again. Rick is no stranger to big fish and is certainly no stranger to one particular linear that has found itself in Ricks net on a couple of previous occasions. However, on this occasion it bounced the scales around to an all time high of 48lb 2oz!!
Rick’s awesome late autumn capture fell to the winterised version of the Shellfish B5, but like most big fish that get a taste for the B5, they just keep getting tripped up on it time and time again. The Colne Valley carp will be pleased to hear that Rick is hanging up his rods until January for ‘new baby’ duties! Good luck with it all fella.
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.
