Wow. Great fish.
Twice out on GPB2 in as many days.
You cannot deny they are a bit moor-ish and special then

I was asked to remove it. That's why that post is now edited. He's 19 and wants to post it himself when he gets home. That's fair enough. It's the fish of a life-time.

I am likely to run off and hide again anytime soon. See you all sometime after Xmas maybe....

Thank you all reading this. We don't employ any famous anglers to sell our products. We don't offer any kind of 'team' benefits. So we don't have team members on social media fighting our corner to get 50p off. Just me, and photos of our customers. It's a very simple formula, but a very honest one. All the blokes photos on this page are working men as far as I know. Most of them get to fish one or two nights a week. We rely on photographs from our normal customers. Many of them, don't like showing their photos. They simply do not want to give up their edge, when they are paying full price. Who can blame them? I don't get to go fishing myself hardly anymore. But I still manage to live my fishing dreams every single day, through our customers.

It all makes me very proud. I lost count a long time ago now... Of just how many members of this forum alone have smashed their personal best using our hook baits in the past couple of years. This forum, is actually a very small fraction of our clientele in reality. But it gives the perfect window, into what is capable if you use our hook baits properly.

Honestly, thank you all. For the kind words, the messages, and thank you for the photos. xxx

Small things amuse small minds. Made me laugh yesterday when someone sent it.

Hearing the sheer unbridled joy from this young bloke and his friend about their captures, has restored my faith in carp fishing a little bit recently.

Especially after a Summer of shameful embarrassment from some of the shouty nods.

Refreshing is the word for me. Let's hope it is kept quiet and it keeps the carp circus away!

Nice to know they are still out there

The lake is already busy, and being fished by some of the best anglers around. I know Dave Mallin is on there for one. There are some incredible photos, that I will not show, because they give away to much background to blast all over social media. The fish are known about, but now they are bigger.

Daniel the captor of the common, told me his friend Dan here, taught him absolutely everything about that lake. Dan deserves to catch it very much, and he will. That common photo was last November, they were fishing together. It does not come out much and has been kept pretty much a secret for his friend for a year. Daniel is desperate for Dan to catch it. Da works full time and has a young family.

That fish had already put on 10lb in three years. I'd imagine it's bigger now. It's an incredible looking common. I think personally, this mirror Dan is holding is even better.

Dan prepares the fermented garlic hemp too.

Self explanatory.

That's one of our CC pop ups that's been in the lake 24 hours, it's not a freezer bait.

Mark when are you selling the specialized snail hookbaits..

They certainly earned those captures between them.
That scaley mirror is stunning.

For any angler who can actually think for themselves, that photograph speaks a thousand words all on its own.

For all those nutters (lol) who keep messaging asking when they are going to be able to get some Bug hook baits from us.... They are being sorted today and tomorrow, in balanced and pop ups. They will be ready in the next couple of weeks. I know you are all reading this (even as guests), as they have only ever been mentioned on here. Please do not message us anymore asking for them. I will say on here as soon as they are ready.

For now, there is only one large batch being done. Jason the owner and a couple of his anglers will obviously be getting them first. But those of you that use that bait and have been messaging asking for them, will also be getting them too.
