Catch Reports
Overnight Success for Lee!
Posted in Catch Reports on 15th November 2007Essential Baits production manager Lee Willmott still manages to find the odd night to go fishing, and a recent overnighter on his own fishery, Springwood Pool, produced this stunning long common of 30lb 8oz. This is just one of a number of fish pushing through the magical 30lb barrier on the prolific Somerset venue.
Once again, a cold clear night of high pressure did nothing to stop the carp’s appetite when confronted with the Winterised B5 and adds to the growing number of reports we’ve been getting back from the Cold-Water range since November. Lee presented his rig and 4-bait stringer to a silty depression close to a weed bed at 30-yards with 20-free offerings loosely scattered in the area.
The journey continues
Mike Willmott wrote his first book, Carp Life, way back in 2002 and it received high praise from all quarters with many angler's proclaiming it to be the finest carp book ever written. The demand was enormous and just two years later, all copies had completely sold out. Due to demand, the book was finally re-printed in 2006, but now, more than a decade later and after five years of putting it all together, the long-awaited follow up to this extraordinary publication has arrived!
This 464-page publication is far bigger again than Carp Life 1, and includes hundreds of different images, line drawings and sketches that have never been published before. Mike very rarely writes in the magazines these days, but all of this unseen material has now come to fore in this new eagerly awaited book that is about to take the carp world by storm.
