Has anyone ever come across a guy named Peter Regan that makes bait, one of his baits is called " Meat " and he claims that the Parrot from Wasing was captured twice on it and he also does a bait called "maple " .
I belive he is based somewhere around the M25.
A long shot I know but, I am curious about this guy and his claims.

Old time Savay angler, based in Norfolk, well he was once. Tugboat. He used to write articles for carpology so if you don't get joy on here maybe contact him through them?

Hi scar,
I met Peter a couple of times on my old syndicate pit in Norfolk about 18 years ago.
He used to make those baits with a man named Dennis, don't know his surname, but they split up and the last I heard, they both continue to make those baits separately.
Dennis definitely lives in Norfolk and I think Peter still does too.
The baits they made were called meat 1, maple and multimix.
Not sure how you could get in touch, other than Google his name and Norfolk.
Can't imagine there would be many Peter Regan's in Norfolk.

I think it's the same guy who used to write a section in the back of original Carpologys, don't know if he still does?
Used to love reading his stuff, old school, very dry sense of humour, pmsl many a time

Thank you all for the replies guys, he is indeed the chap I am referring to.
I now have contact details for him as well, thanks again.

Peter is a mate of mine and yes he still makes and sells bait.
He is fishing washing at the moment and the bait is still doing the business he is top rod on there by a country mile.
I know dean fletcher caught the parrot on peters bait and still uses it today.
I think you will also find that one of the baits is producing fantastic results at welly.
This is not an advert for his bait because I do not use it myself.
You will find him on Facebook.

Peter Regan has been around 'proper' carp fishing, forever. His bait will be brilliant. How could it not be? I bet he is copying no one. I bet he knows all his own stuff, because he actually goes fishing. On proper lakes to. It's not rocket science. I'd use his bait, and I've never even met the bloke.
He's made me laugh out loud plenty of times though, through things that I have read in old mags that he had written.

I shall no doubt bump into mr regan on a couple of work parties this year. He's fecking hilarious. Genuinely has me in stitches every time I meet him. He's very guarded about bait, and doesn't give much away, but when he does open up about it, I listen.
He used to work away a lot on either ships or oil rigs, can't remember which, but I pity the guys that were stuck with him for weeks on end as he's an absolute ruthless piss taker, in a good way though.
Meat1 has been an under the radar bait for years. Catches well from tricky waters.
If you don't have any success getting hold of Pete then I'm sure I could find a way to get your details to him.

I fished Savs on the same rota as Pete. He is one of the funniest guys I have ever met and a terrific angler to boot. That s said, my abiding memory of Pete is that he wasn't at all bait minded so to hear he has a bait firm surprises me a bit. He is a terrific pike angler too. Away from fishing he skippered a huge rig supply vessel, a very demanding and dangerous job that must have at times been very scary! IIRC he worked one month on, one month off. He was so laid back when he was fishing, he made me feel tired just watching him. Mind you after working in the North Sea for a shift, I'd be bloody laid back too! I had a lot of time for Pete and I hope he has his feet up now and is enjoying retirement.
This is not his ship but you get the idea.
He also made the first bait boat (unless someone knows differently).
There is a swim named Regan's on Savay...nuff said

His meat bait was based on ground up cat biscuits with a thick savoury liquid I guess it's still the same,my mate used it a fair few years ago and caught every we're on it,think he charges around £10 a kilo
Pretty sure he lives in Lowestoft

He definely knows his stuff mate, every bait is rolled by him from ingredients that he has sourced,ground, mixed himself, eggs are always from the same place.
Mad as a box of frogs and still doing 2-3 nights a week at nearly seventy years of age.

"That s said, my abiding memory of Pete is that he wasn't at all bait minded so to hear he has a bait firm surprises me a bit."
What, is that what he told you Ken? On a tough pit? I make out to people that I'm the biggest noddy in the world when I meet them on the bank, if at all possible. I'm great at it to. I don't wish to talk about bait while fishing, it's work. I look, nothing like I do, with no base ball cap on in real life. The base ball cap, goes on for the photo's. And comes off. I look very different then.
"I know, nothing. Only here to get away from the GF like."
If he was catching them, he probably 'knew'. If he has brought out a bait, that is catching the good ones... He definitely 'knew'.

This all stemmed from a conversation with a mate about a bloke we met years ago named Peter Regan, I could not for the life of me remember the name or the circumstances of the meeting.
My mate has met up with him again recently and started banging on about him so, I thought I would ask on here and sure enough, my memory has been stirred.
Thanks again folks.

Pete could throw the best blinds ever, I'll say that about him. Me and Speedy had some great times with Pete, he is one of the best. I am glad to hear he is still fishing. Anybody bumps into him please say hi from me.

All decent anglers will throw blinds Ken. I'm not even saying that is what he done to you, just that I would. As much as there is camaraderie in fishing, let's have it right mate... We are all there to catch them. You was at Savs to catch them, and so was Peter. No one who is catching them, is going to tell the truth about what they are doing on somewhere like that. Not unless they are stupid, and want everyone else on the lake doing it two minutes later as well. Now, Peter has to be honest about it, as he is selling bait.
The 'ones' who are catching, and claiming to be 'clueless'... These are the ones that need to be watched lol. The 'talkers' on a lake... NEVER need to be watched. Pretty simple.
