Mike's success continues...

Posted in Catch Reports on 09th November 2011

Mike Ryan's season just gets better and better! Earlier in the season Mike visited his new syndicate water and banked two forties on his first two sessions using the B5 and Black Snail (including a new lake record!). Since then Mike has continues to use the B5/Black Snail combo and his latest success has come in the shape of this lovely 36lb 10oz common. Quiet a few anglers this year have had some outstanding success on some very tricky waters by using a combination of B5 and Black Snail mixed together and it certainly seems to offer something very different - food for thought!


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.
