Well Christmas is over for another year! I hope that Santa brought everyone that new fishing kit you wanted or needed.
Myself, i got a new luggage set. Its suprising how quickly one can outgrow his current fishing luggage and require a new set. A punishing couple of seasons testing baits and new fishing venues put paid to my old faithful fishing luggage and a new set was needed badly in time for the spring.
I cant wait to get out on the bank in 2009. Especially as we have new groundbaits under test for the colder months.
Now that my fishing and business partner, Stuart, has his new set of fishing box wheels, we can really give the canals a good winter pole fishing session.
But first, we will be hitting the Pike in our local stretch of the Grand Union Canal in Leicester. We have had a few new Pike lures sent to us to try. And by the look of them, if they dont work nothing will!
An update of our Pike fishing will be posted next weekend!
In the meantime, we have a number of large groundbait orders to get sent out to our faithful customers ready for the new year!
So if i dont get another chance before, i'll wish everyone a very happy New Year, and lets hope that 2009 will provide us with some good fishing!

Canal Cloud
(colour: Natural ; Quantity: 1kg bags)
'Canal Cloud' has been specifically designed for Pole Fishing and Competition Fishing.
'Canal Cloud' is a Light, Fine Groundbait for use when fishing on-the-drop or in clear water where a cloud of bait falling through the swim will gain the confidence of shy fish or fish that prefer to feed mid water.
It is best used in a pole cup, mixed either on the dry side so it explodes in the water or as a very effective slop. The fine particles fall through the water slowly creating a feed ball under the pole tip. Great for picking off silver fish at pace for bagging up in matches.
Best suited for stillwaters with little or no tow on them to create an intense hot spot of feeding activity.
No binders are added to this mix so it breaks up as soon as it hits the water.
All silver fish respond well to this Groundbait but Roach in particular find this mix extremely attractive! Superb for maggot, caster, pinkie or squat work on eiher canals, ponds or stillwaters.
Available in Red and Natural from Blacksilver Baits
£2.90

New Groundbait - Our Challenge for 2009
We have been working hard this year to develop a new groundbait for 2009.
Canal Black is a monumentous groundbait for canals in warmer weather. It pulls in fish left right and centre, and really excels when fishing on the whip or pole on the far shelf for roach, perch, rudd and smaller fish like gudgeon.
The time spent in 2008 developing this super fine groundbait, specifically for canals and smaller stillwaters has paid off, and this will be one of a number of new releases onto the market in 2009.
Also developed and ready for release is our new Commercial Water Groundbait. Blended for bagging sessions on carp and silver fish commercial waters. We beat nearly all of our commercial water records in 2008 whilst testing this bait. In one session alone we smashed our record at Whetstone Gorse on the match lake. Stu had a fantastic 46lb of roach, crucians, and skimmers, only to be beaten into second by Phill landing 60lb of roach, cucians and skimmers, with the odd small tench. All caught on maggot on the pole at 10m.
We are sure that any angler who gives this a go will increase their catch rate on commercials dramatically.

July Update
Hi Everyone.
Phew! It's been a busy month for us, here at Blacksilver Baits. Our groundbaits are flying off the shelf at the moment and are being used up and down the country by loads of anglers who have discovered our baits. We have not had the time to update the blog for a few weeks.
We have some great deals for groundbait, particle baits, pellets and groundbait additives on our website, with new bait products in development for release later this year.
We have had time to get out on the bank though! We took a trip to Norfolk again for our 'start of season' bream session on the River Yare. Night fishing we used our 'Big Bream Original' groundbait with sweetcorn to bag us some nice sized slabs.
We have also concentrated on a few local commercial waters where there are a mixed bag of silvers and carp using our 'Silver Match' groundbait.
I'll be posting further details of these sessions in the next few days or so, with a few pictures of our catches for you all to see.
If you have not done so already, then please visit our website and check out our range of fishing baits on sale.
As always if there is anything you would like to know about any of our groundbaits then please do not hesitate to contact us. we are always pleased to help!

Sunday 1st June - Carp and Bream fishing
With June already upon us, we thought it high time to get out on the bank of one of our favourite waters and give the bream and carp some of our most excellent fishmeal based groundbait, 'Big Carp - Summer'
We were testing out a range of complimentary boilies to fish alongside the 'Big Carp' groundbait. On the go were 14mm and 18mm 'Titan Crab'n'Mussel' fishmeal boilies, and 18mm 'Titan Blood'Belachan'n'Garlic'
After setting up and introducing a bed of our groundbait we set up the boilies on a hair rig and set them to work. The carp in recent weeks have been spawning so they have been a touch finicky when it comes to feeding, so we were in for a wait, but the bream were on the bait pretty quickly. They only run to about 5lb in this water but they are old bruisers, black and nobbly, with unusual fight for their size. Stu , was first in with a small bream about 2 lb on a size 8 hook and 18mm Crab'n'mussel boilie. This was soon followed by me landing a 4 1/2 lb bream on a hair rigged 18mm 'Blood'Belachan'n'Garlic' boilie. These were soon followed by another brace of bream each all to about 3 lb each. The carp were reluctant to show though and after landing a 3 lb common carp and then a 7lb common carp the action tailed off, before Stu had a 2lb roach on a 14mm boilie....now i thought Roach didnt like fishmeal. Just shows that anything can and often does happen in fishing.
'Big Carp' groundbait - both Summer and Winter versions is available to buy via our website or through selected tackle shops around the country.
'Titan' Boilies are a work in progress bait and will be launched in 2009.
Cheers

Exciting times ahead for Blacksilver Baits
2008 is looking to be a busy time for us.
Already we have a customer using our baits in the upcoming Irish Classic match against some of the top UK and European match anglers, and many more using our groundbaits in matches up and down the country to great effect.
We have lined up a number of adverts, features and reviews in the top angling press, due to be published in April and June, then some later in the autumn. This should boost our reputation for manufacturing and supplying top quality baits to the Angling Public.
...and to top it off we have a couple of new products for all you Carpers out there that are currently in development, possibly for release in the Autumn 2008 or early 2009.
When we get 5 minutes we may even be able to get out fishing ourselves! We may see you on the bank!
