Catch Reports
20+, 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+ and a 70+ in just 12-hours!!!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th July 2012You won't see many foreign catch reports of this site but when a customer contacts you to say that he's had fish of 20lb+, 30lb+, 40lb+, 50lb+, 60lb+ and 70lb+ in just 12-hours it does make you sit up and take notice! The lucky captor was Alex Ramsey who was fishing at Domaine De La Ribere in France. All the fish fell between Midday and Midnight and fell to B5 Wafters fished over B5 pellets with the biggest weighing a massive 75lb 12oz!
Having taken his brother to the airport earlier in the day, Alex had to wade out and land the fish all on his own, and as you can imagine, was pretty much exhausted at the end of that mad feeding frenzy!!
Balanced Dumbells
There are definitely times when standard round hook baits can lose their effectiveness and a switch to a different shape can often produce the goods. These pellet shaped hook baits offer a viable alternative to standard round hook baits and when mounted on a slightly longer hair and fished over a bed of pellets, they can often make the difference between success and failure!
Their shape not only makes them very difficult for the fish to eject, but coupled with their added buoyancy due to the inclusion of cork dust, they are also superb for fishing over the top of silt or weed. They are also very durable and will last for many hours without being nibbled away by nuisance fish, Crayfish or diving birds. Definitely worth considering when the going gets tough!
Top tip
Try mounting the dumbell on the hair long-ways. This will enter the carp's mouth easier, but will spin around on ejection thus making it more difficult for the carp to eject the hook.
