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.
