Me too don't worry about that. Worse than dickhead too

So you understand better than anyone mate. Imagine 4 of them under the age of 9/10 at a guess. A thriving business, a very young family. That's hard work just to go carp fishing, especially where you are up against very good anglers, who can fish full time too.

Then he goes and does things like that. Maximum respect from me.

Would make a change Mark, most call me dickhead and would like to hold me under the water.

I've got an ageing misses two grown up kids and like to get out fishing at the weekends so she's not nagging me to do jobs at home

I'm more impressed that he has 4 kids, a beautiful missus, and goes carp fishing at all. Let alone them numbers

If you done what you are speaking of in 60 nights, they would all be calling you 'Terry' and thinking you could walk on water, trust me.

I'd hate to be an "EXCEPTIONAL" angler and complete Dinton WS in thirty nights, I'd like to think i'd get at least sixty nights for my money.

Exceptional angling and exceptional Fish

This is the sort of stuff, that when it was actually happening, I could never even mention online. It would simply take us to places we could not be taken at the time in terms of orders. Imagine that. You can't even ever talk about things like this. This is the very first time I've have ever mentioned these numbers online. I still cannot mention them on the bigger social media platforms. Our website might literally blow up.

John Cash had 37 bites, landed 30 carp, in his first, and only 30 nights on Dinton White Swan. That is truly incredible on that lake. He works full time (has his own floor laying business) and has four beautiful young kids. He is a good angler. Give a good angler our S2, and they will do stupid things with them. Really stupid things.

He was done and pretty much dusted in those 30 nights. Works full time, fishing against packs of the best hungry young anglers around, all with far more time than he could ever wish for.

Ricci, biggest in the lake, one of 7 caught in 24hrs. Ricci owns FishOn Tackle and works long hours 6 days a week. By the amount he catches, you might think he’s doing far more time on the bank than he actually is. Well done mate.

GPB2/S2 combined

Lee is a pretty secretive angler, who has caught some incredibly special carp on our hook baits. Can't show you the vast majority of them, as they are all on the 'don't talk about them ones' list. He's a VERY good angler indeed. He was fishing the Railway & Larky with his dad as a very young boy and catching em, donkeys years ago.

Next time you see that Parky, you tell him that he did not do a very good job. Not with the amount we sell in the SW.

But as funny as that is, there in has been our big problem (Not with Andy or Tony). Every slippery git using them, but does not really want, or sometimes even are not allowed to tell anyone else about their edge.

We have never paid anyone to tell people that our hook baits are mustard. It might have taken longer to get there because of it, but it is real. Carp anglers are not stupid.

A couple of years ago Andy told me off for saying I’d had fish on the S2’s from his lake as he didnt want everyone else on them

Can't change yesterday, can only change tomorrow. It's all gone and already forgotten.

Yes Tony has used them from the start. He caught the big common out of Kingsmead Islands on an S2 a decade ago. He has since become sponsored by Dynamite & Carp Spirit, but still uses the hook baits. He is not stupid.

So has his best mate Andrew used them from the start. He was on Roach Pit in 2013 with me, where he caught the Yellow among others on an S2. I'd imagine it was him who showed Tony. He, like his mate has his own fishery now too, where he caught this one yesterday. Some nice fish down that way now.

And a “sponsored” angler that’s always said “alternative hookbait” when he catches them 👌

Not a bad pond in his back garden either……
