Ground went heavy, not great for punting now and better left alone. Sorry lads, he had no luck yesterday at the false starts, or during the race itself... But he was a proper gamble alright.
A photo of another big UK carp that I have spoken about on here very recently. Although this capture, is not actually one of the ones that I was referring too when I spoke about this fish. This was another S2 addict. Not sure exactly how many times this particular fish was caught on an S2 over the years, but it was loads. I know of at least seven or eight captures (including by a member of this forum). But then the lake went no publicity, so I'd imagine it was a whole lot more than that, which I never got to hear about.

Two days ago I said I had to disappear, and I really do. The only reason for yesterday's post, and now today's... Is specifically for some former bait buff members of this very forum. I am told, they have been spitting the dummy right out online about both me, and this forum very recently. That thing I wrote recently may have ended in "I am not a scientist"... That had zero to do with any of you. I don't give any of you's a single thought. I was just trying to explain that I may not being explaining myself with the absolute correct terminology, because I am not scientist.
This one is just for you boys. Don't be bitter about others. Strive to do better yourself.
This is Chris. This photo is from a decade ago, 2013. The spring SHB very first started. Chris is a PE teacher in Hampshire. Proper stand up guy. He works hard, five days a week. He'd had a Roach Pit ticket for 4 or 5 years. He'd never been able to catch a carp out of there. He fished with two mates. Both also worked full time, both had their tickets for a couple of years, both had also never caught a RP carp.
Chris caught thirteen in 2013. Nothing at all in four or five years... Then, he got his hands on our hook baits and he caught thirteen in 2013. The one he is holding here, is one of the best looking big carp that the UK has ever produced IMO.
Chris's two mates both caught plenty too, including two of the best fish in the lake.

I think your baits do plenty of talking mate to upset inferior baits.

I think that although they may publicly hate me, secretly, they all love me at the same time too Joss. I think, that really, they are just a little bit confused about it all. It's all a little bit to much for them to take in.
They have every single 'reason' in the world why all of these fish were caught on our hook baits apparently. The only 'reason' that they cannot ever seem to find.... Is the 'reason' why they cannot come up with the photos of their own happy customers, with fish like this below. But that would involve looking at themselves. It's far easier, just to blame me for all their woes.
That is what really upsets them... Not me.

I'm sure you've said this before and it is still true. It's similar to your Sunday league footballer blaming Messi as the reason they aren't playing in the champions league

Give carp anglers something that really makes a difference to their angling, and you simply can't fail. That's the bottom line that these blokes will never understand. I certainly never sat online crying at other people when SHB started. I went out there, and done things to show other anglers that I had something that could make a big difference. It's not my fault these blokes are not capable of doing the same thing for themselves. It's not my fault they cannot sell their bait.
If it makes them feel better to hate me for that... I have broad shoulders.

Better mate... It's spring... Big carp time. Sod em seriously.
Ricci with the first fish he ever caught on one of our hook baits, a decade ago next month. Days after he got his hands on our S2 for the first time. Smashed his PB, caught one of the most sort after fish in Ringwood.

I really am gone for the next few weeks or so now. I will not be about online at all. We are so stupidly busy at work now. If you need to get hold of us regarding an order you placed on our website. Don't email, don't pm on here, do not ring us, the work phone is always on silent and never gets answered for calls. WhatsApp or text message is the way to speak to us. It gets seen fast. Always include the full name on the order in your message. The work mobile number is on the contact page of our website.
I hope you all have a great spring and catch loads of big carp. You could never imagine how jealous I am of you.

Forget what others think your customers (me included) results speak for themselves, I've tried other companies and other Hookbaits before coming across yours and my fishing has been transformed, yes I did catch before but nothing like I am now with the results I'm having doing the talking !

It's all gravy Rich. Thank you for the kind words. So tired currently, working far too much. Makes it to easy to bite like a bream. I'll still pop in every now and then and post a few photos, but I'll be having an online rest pretty much for the next few weeks.
I was wrong when I posted the big Wingham mirror was caught three times last year and every time on one of our hook baits.
It was actually caught four times, and every time on one of our hook baits. Gary Watton had it twice, then Ricci caught it twice. Once on. GPB1 & three times on a GPB2.
