30KG and a New Personal Best!

Mon, 23 Aug 2021 18:57:53 +0200

I lived friday 13th august one of the best day of my life, catching this amazing 30 kgs mirror carp, let me tell you the story of this wonderful fish

We are friday 13 august, i m fishing from tuesday 10th in a 8ha gravel pit in France that i know, i think... no carp between 10th and 13th, only breams, catfish, tenches, i never had this scénario on that spot before something was about to happend...

My baits was peach n pepper boilies, with one snowman of regular with twisted peach pop up, a 15mm wafter and a 20mm salted boilie, for me a really fruit / sweet profile i ll have always some peach n pepper boilies with me anywhere and anytime i ll go fishing, you have to have them with you ????

I put some mixed NB pellets with hemp oil and liver liquid, little particules full of oil and, i hope will attract some carp, dropped with my anatec baitboat along the waterlilies and dead wood on the other edge in front of me. The brakes of my reels are just opened a little, to avoid the fish to get stuck in these traps

It was 12h40 the 13th i was fishing perches with little lure on a small rod to have fun, they were very active, sun was heavy it was hot. Big run with the 15mm wafter, seems to be something very heavy at the beginning, strong fight i never saw the fish for 25 minutes then i finally saw it... what an amazing fish i can t miss this one, a 25+ for sure ????

I decided to go in the water to my knees to cross the waterlilies on my edge, i don t want this carp to be stucked just under my feet or my line to break, now that i saw this fish i don t want to take any risk

It finally went into the net, this fish is incredible, the biggest of my life for sure, very impressive fish i m so happy, i called my best friend immediatly to come and see this huge fish, he will take pictures too i want some great pictures for this fish

This massive mirror was exactly 30,00 kgs, my last biggest was 23.8 kgs in "Lac des vieilles forges" in France, i m in a dream

Never in my carpfisher life i imagined to catch a so huge carp, one of the best day in my life for sure. Now it will be very difficult to break this weight again

Have a nice day and keep on going fishing as often as you can, we sometimes live some moments like these ????????

Mega Session for Dylan & Oliver

Thu, 05 Aug 2021 11:40:53 +0200

Olivier and I are back from our trip from Lake Merenye in Hungary, we were able to catch between 40-50 fish with an average weight of 14kg, as bait we had the promino in 28mm and 32mm to tempt the large population, with so many fish around the lake can be happy with the average weight! as field testers of the benelux team we are very happy with this bait what a quality! and the promino is definitely approved!

Blue Mussel &Kriller Garlic, a deadly combination!

A super day session production 8 runs with Yannick landing 5 of them. A deadly combination of the Blue Mussel and Kriller Garlic helping to produce these fish. The biggest being just shy of 30lb!

France Success for Raymond

Raymond Lake has returned to France once again and had a great result. Raymond has been using the 22mm Milky Amino Wafters over some 22mm PROmino to create a contrast! Raymond managed 24 fish up to 24KG!

Well done!

Keep on trying

After my 3 nights working and no sleep since the Thursday I decided to stay up and grab what was ever free down my local. I managed to jump in Peg 27 on Oak Lake down at Coking Farm.

Not my first choice peg but I knew I had less than 24 hours before someone else was in for the weekend. The rods all out, bait applied and shattered I laid down and passed out only to be woken and hour and half later in a dazed and confused state to the alarm tearing off.

A solid bag of Pellet, Hemp and a trimmed down PNP Wafter was this one's downfall.

A fish known as 'Woogie', span the scales round to 29lb 12oz.

Winter by the River

Winter 2020/2021 in the river!

everybody!!
In a season characterized by frequent rainfall and considerable temperature changes, the fundamental factor was to make the most of those short time windows in which the river waters were favorable for fishing. The channel where I fish is characterized by a strong current and does not have a large riverbed; it is therefore necessary to pay special attention to the water level.
I focused on a stretch of the river where I can get fishing in the shortest possible time and with minimal equipment.
The baiting took place only in the days preceding the session and never in large quantities; a maximum of 1 kg of blue mussel and bnb distributed in the precise launch points.
Fishing was concentrated only in the central 4/5 hours of the day; time coinciding with that of the moment of baiting.
The preparation of the equipment and terminals combined with the constant search for signals by the river was the key to obtaining results.
The 2 biggest fish were caught on cloudy days. My opinion is that the change in pressure had a positive effect.
Here are some of the catches made.
See you on the
banks!! ???? Giacomo M.

Salted Baits

Salted Baits

What's the reasoning behind Salted Baits? Let us give you a brief overview. We have always used the finest Himalayan Rock Salt we can get our hands on, we are now using this to preserve these baits.

RIGHT after we roll them. The Himalayan Salt will act as a natural preserve, hardening the baits a little whilst also making them withstand some abuse when using a throwing stick. They also last longer underwater where you need the reliability the most, we have tested the 20mm to withstand more than 48 hours. There is much more preparation when we produce these baits and this is reflected within the price. It's a very time consuming process to make sure these arrive at your door in the way we intended. These are Fresh, Active and produced with NO preservatives (as with freezer baits, just better) One of the reasons is because all the minerals from the Rock Salt become coated on the baits when they are hot, its almost like a glue of attraction releasing into the water for 15-20 minutes after going in.

Kevin bereitet sein Futter gern ein paar Take our ones anstehenden Angeltag ours. Dazu halbiert ice cream 20mm und 24mm Kriller Boilies, die is dann zusammen mit den Kriller-Pellets vermengt. Anschließend benetzt er die Mischung mit dem dickflüssigen Kriller Liquid. Nach ca. 1 bis 2 Tagen fügt is noch mal einen kleinen Schuss Liquid und eine gute Hand voll Kriller Bagmix dazu und vermengt alles sorgfältig.
