3rd Place at Walters Lake
New Blacksilver Baits angler Lewis Barrington came a respectable 3rd at Walters Lake in the South West today.
Fishing at 14.5m to an island paid off. Fishing in just 12" of water, Lewis started at dead depth but after foul hooking a few fish he shallowed up to 6" where he started to catch the carp. Pinging a few 6mm pellets into his swim and fishing pellet on the hook was working well.
As bites were becoming sporadic at 14.5m and after a few more foul hooked fish, Lewis switched his attention to the margin swim that he had been feeding. Dropping in some free offerings of meat regularly from the start of the match, he dropped his rig in and was straight away into fish. He concentrated the last couple of hours of the match in plundering this margin swim, resulting in a 3rd place with 91lb.
Lewis had lost or bumped off about 15 other fish, which inevitably cost him the match. First place caught 120lb only 29lb ahead if him. If they had been landed it could have been a close run for 1st place.
A good start to the season none the less, and Lewis is determined to improve. With our help we are sure he'll hit that 1st place regularly.

Bream Success at Shearwater
Blacksilver Baits Angler Shane Lovell hit into the fish on a cold day at Shearwater in the West Country.
Water temperature was only 8 degrees but shane tempted the fish none the less, on a mix of 50% Black magik, 25% Big Carp Hi-Pro, and 25% River. Fishing either maggot or jelly pellet, and continually having to switch between the two hook baits to maintain bites, Shane landed a 4lb tench, an 8lb carp, and 48 bream between 2lb and 4lb.
Not a bad days work for a cold March day!

...and the Winner Is....!
Shane Lovell has won the winter league at Windmill Fishery in Bristol.
A second spot with 9lb12oz was enough to secure the top of the leaderboard and win the league.
SUNDAY 15th January 2012
The final league table looks like this:
Shane worked hard for the league win, some days easily catching carp on pellet, but other days having to work hard for every bite on bloodworm and joker.
He used a variety of different Blacksilver Baits groundbait mixes over the weeks depending on the conditions, including Match Team Gold, Black Magik, and a new mix for 2012 'Gardons'
We expect to see more from Shane in 2012 as he is a top notch angler and we are proud to have him as a Blacksilver Baits sponsored angler, and as part of the team.

Good Start to the Winter League
Shane Lovell made a perfect start to the winter league down in the south west.
Sponsored by Blacksilver Baits, Shane won the first match of the winter league season fishing 1mm micro pellets on the method with an 8mm pellet hook bait, to land 7 carp for 26lb 4oz, beating second place by 4lb.
Shane had tried our Match Team Green Groundbait on the 11m line but had little success, also trying dead maggot down the margins. But when he switched to the far swim, about a foot from the far bank on the method with our micro pellet, he hit into the fish. "the fishing was hard" Shane reported "a few of the guys blanked. Hopefully next week will be a little easier".
Maximum points scored and a job well done!

New Products in the Online Shop
We are committed to both increasing our product range this year and bringing our customers a wider variety of baits.
As such, we have now expanded our hook bait range to include 6mm Soft Hook Pellets and Match Team Specialist Soft Hook Paste. Both come in a range of 8 different flavours, so there should be at least one flavour that is suitable for your local water.
A new hard pellet range is being released this week, and details are being updated on the website to include Coarse Pellet, Marine Halibut Pellet, Bloodworm Pellet and Trout Pellet in the most popular sizes.
And finally, 3 new groundbaits are being released this week:
Match Team 'Gold' - the match winning formula that is taking commercial fisheries apart this summer. Proven as a winner by our sponsored angler Shane Lovell, and regulars at SAS who have used the method mix to devastating effect
Match Team 'Green' - the same great method mix as 'gold' above, but in green. Only difference is the colour, which can make all the difference on the day.
Bloodworm Method - a new blend that is proving to be a big hit locally for carp, and tench specimen anglers
