Beauty.

35.04.......

What a fish, what a result.
Mick Bohane came up trumps this winter with this fantastic common.
Another victim to the Atlantic Heat.

Well done Mick.
Dec 08

Here’s some interesting footage.
Moira Mann gave us permission to show this clip on our web-site.
The video is from the new release from Fresh Fishing, The Return of The Carp.
The Clip shows our very own Simon Scott carrying out tank tests on various baits.
If you purchase the DVD you can see that the carp are not hugely receptive to the baits on offer, that is until Simon nips back to his car and grabs some ever faithful Atlantic Heat. The Heat was then placed in the tank along with Halibut pellets to gage a reaction. As you can see from the clip, the carp are hitting and knocking the Atlantic Heat everywhere!

This wasn't a surprise to us as we have carried out extensive testing ourselves with various baits and pellets. Our range has always come out on top.
This claim is also backed up from the Carpology tank test where our range scored top marks possible (still the only company to achieve this)

Winter Result.

Lee Barter has been trickling the Atlantic Heat into his undisclosed South west venue for a couple of weeks now. With the onset of cold weather looming, Lee dropped in on his pre-baited patch for a short session.

Fish of 23, 25 and this 30lb+ mirror were landed by Lee.
Winterised Atlantic Heat 15 and 18mms coming through in the cold weather.

Top result Lee...

Dave Ellyatt

Dave sent us this shot of a 29+ from a undisclosed club water.
Monster Red on mass accounted for a string of fish with this one being the pic of the bunch.

Top fish Dave.

Another mid 30 for Rob.

What a season Rob Morris is having, every email he sends is another mid 30!!!
This 35.12 common the latest of a string of big fish this year. With a full time job and family, Rob only gets to dangle one night a week (if that).
A top result to the ever faithful Atlantic Heat.

Nice one Rob.
Nov 08
PB for Martyn

Martyn Rosier slipped his net under this 32.04 lb common this week. 
Fishing an undisclosed South West venue, Martyn introduced 2kg of Atlantic heat to a feature at 40 yards....6 hours later, job done!
Nov 08
Repeat perfection.

It seems that the Atlantic Heat just carries on catching! I must admit that I smile to myself every time someone says that this bait has had its day. As I have said from day one, Atlantic Heat is a total food source and will never blow or stop working.
The latest result pictured here is testament to what my baits are all about.
Shaun Matthews sent in this pic of a familiar face to this page. The big Lin, in all her glory at 35.10. Now this is the 5th time this fish has fallen to the Atlantic Heat in less that 15 months! Again, this bait has dominated the particular club water.
From a simple calculation, somewhere in the region of  1000-1500kg have been fed into the water this year!!

Top result Shaun, great result and a proper old warrior.
Nov 08
More to the Prototype.

Tom Pollard cant get enough of our new prototype bait at the mo.
Fishing on a variety of waters Tom has caught everywhere!
His recent capture of this 36.12 common was the highlight of a 3 day stay at a busy club water.
I was told the big common was excreting large amounts of the new mix on to Tom's mat!!!!
He also added fish of 26, 25, 22 and 12lb.
Great shooting mate...Another 10kg then...
Nov 08
Making the switch

Roger Williams sent us through a pic of the 33lb mirror on his second session using the Atlantic Heat. Rodger has been fishing on and off on one of the more tricky venues up here on the park.
Great result Roger....Welcome to Baitworks!
Oct 08 Nick Gresham pulls Jordan

Nick Gresham sent us this pic of Jordan from Hardwick up at the linear complex.
38.04 the weight. Nick fished a single 15mm Atlantic Heat bottom bait at the base of a marginal slope.
Good angling Nick.

Long Summer

With the nights drawing in and the first frost imminent it's now time for myself to start treading the banks, tackle in hand looking for some likely carp to angle for. Fishing this year has had to take a back seat for the time being for the sake of pushing the business.
I have managed to angle this season and catch a few but due to publicity shy venues it would appear on the news page that I haven't caught anything!
The fish pictured was a welcome back to nights spent under the Brollie and being awoken at 11pm with a screaming take! Oh how I've missed it!
33.04 of proper character graced my net this week and caught on a new prototype bait to boot! First overnighter on the water! In fact, Tom Pollard was also using the bait in question for the first time at the lake and managed to land one of the biggest commons at 36lb+.
Luck? Well certainly luck does play a part but its uncanny that out of 200 fish that reside in the lake we pick out the better fish with this new bait, its happened too many times now in testing to be a coincidence.
Watch this space for further updates on a couple of interesting prototypes that we are trailing...
Oct 08
Another for Rob.

Fishing the Atlantic Heat 20mms has paid dividends for Rob Morris this season.
This 31+ is the latest in a string of big fish.
Top angling mate.

I dont think Rob catches anything under 30lb these days! Testament to the big fish qualities of the Atlantic Heat.
Well done Rob.
Oct 08
Good Year!

Just had this shot sent over from Simon and Viv at VS Fisheries.
These little Acorns are the latest spawning from May 08. Absolutely stunning!!
Check out the gallery to see some beautiful English born and bred fish.
0-40 in ten years................

Oct 08 Simon Scott

Simon managed to squeeze in a couple of days fishing on a big Southern venue. Fishing with partner Sue, Simon landed the biggest fish (34lb+) of a 19 carp haul by the pair. I lost count of how many 20's and 30's but it was quite a few!
A mixture of Atlantic Heat and Monster Red 18mms fished at 50-70 yards range had the big pit fish stopping in their tracks.

Nice one Simon.

Move complete.

Baitworks have now moved to a new purpose built unit just out side the Water Park, Cirencester.
With the ongoing demand and ever increasing product range,the new premise not only gives us the stability but also gives us much needed room to start stocking other key products.
Pellets are first on our list and judging by the results on the samples we are already off to a flyer......watch this space.
Thank you to all who has lent a hand in one way or other, Electrics, plumbing etc, you know who you are. Thanks again.

Neil's Cracker

What a fish! 37lb of long classic carp.
Neil dropped me a text to pop out and take some shots of this fish that has taken a likening for the Atlantic Heat. Fishing at short range the big girl picked up a 18mm heat presented as a bottom bait.
Fantastic fish, she also shares the same name as a well known slip on shoe?
That will get you thinking!!

Great result Neil.
Oct 08
Dave Ellyatt

Fishing on a private estate lake David set about introducing 5kg of Atlantic Heat for his two night stay. First morning and this one rolls up, 37lb+!!
Known as the biggest mirror in the lake! David used the same bait last year on his first session with the heat, result....biggest common in the lake at 30+!!
So there we have it, two sessions and the two biggest fish in the lake caught.

Job done.

Nice one Dave.
Sep 08
Prototype

Gary King has been putting our new bait through its paces as of late. Fishing over at Horseshoe Lake, Lechlade, Gary enjoyed 9 fish on an overnight session up to 26lb! He then used the bait on lake 61 for the first time and was rewarded with this cracking 35.10 lb common! 
The bait had only been in the pond for 2 hours!!

The bait in question is one myself and Mr Scott have been working on this year.
We are still putting the finishing touches to it, but it seems destined to catch a lot of fish.
Great result Gary.
Sep 08
Westhamplet Syndicate.

Adam Kracke has been using a mixture of Atlantic Heat and Monster Red over at his syndicate lake. This combo has accounted for 29 fish so far this season with 9 over 25+ and two mid thirty's - 36.8 and 37.5 (pictured).

A great season for the water mentioned.

Good angling Adam.
Sep 08 Rob Morris

A quick over night session for Rob and another cracking common to show for his efforts.
Atlantic Heat 18mm's fished at short range did the trick for Rob.
Nice one mate.
Sep 08
Harris on Fire!

What a season this guy is having! Top rod on the water in question, Giles has put his faith in the mighty Atlantic Heat 24mms for the year.
Fishing a couple of nights a week Giles has caught steadily through out the season.
These two were caught in the early hours. 33lb common and a 34lb mirror.

Great shots of them by the way, must have had a talented camera man!

SIMON SCOTT JOINS BAITWORKS

Baitworks are delighted to announce that Simon Scott has joined as a consultant.
Simon brings a vast amount of knowledge from the fisheries and aquatics
industry, as well as a carp-fishing pedigree that’s second to none, all of which will prove integral to future bait development. 

Simon met Baitworks owner Mark Bryant just over two years ago, when the boilie range was put through tank tests at Sparsholt College. Simon tested a variety of the boilies currently on the market, in a series of controlled tank tests. These independent tests put Baitworks in the number-one position and, since then, they have remained top in all categories. Simon was so impressed by the performance of the Baitworks range that he started using the bait for his own fishing and has since landed several big carp to 49lb.

Baitworks are already talking about a third addition to the boilie range and, with Simon’s contacts and background, the new product promises to be a little bit special.

Mark Bryant said “We produce quality bait for quality anglers, no hype, and no hard sell. The captures and the calibre of anglers using our bait says it all and Simon’s appointment is testament to what Baitworks set out to achieve”.

Sue's Stunners.

Both Simon and Sue Scott has been out fishing a large southern venue last week.
The pair pre-baited with a mixture of Monster Red and Atlantic Heat 20mms over a two week period prior to angling. Fishing for just a couple of nights the two notched up a tally of 14 fish landed with Sue landing these beauties on the last morning.

Great result Sue.

2008 British Young Carpers Angling Championship

Young Jake Taylor (14) made it to the final of the 2008 British Young Carpers Angling Championship again for the second year running. 
Unfortunately Jake didn't have a favourable draw but managed to still come in 9th out of 40 anglers! The talented youngster also scooped the award for the biggest fish on the day with this 26.04 fish!
Top shooting.
Jake was trying out some of our new pellets and a rather special liquid that we are keeping under our hats for the time being! One to watch, that's for sure....Jake and his Father even travelled 60miles round trip just have some for the final.

Confidence in a bottle!
Aug 08
Tom Sedegy

What a fish!
39lb of cracking carp.
Atlantic Heat again Tom's only bait choice.
A top result from a very demanding venue.
Aug 08 Short session Hauling.

James Hennessy has been keeping our bait under his hat for the last 3 months and for good reason! Fishing in the Oxford area, James has enjoyed constant action when ever he has dipped our Atlantic Heat in the pond!
Two overnight sessions produced his latest tally of fish....24 in total including 2 x 30's (pictured 32 and 30) and 7 x 20s to 29lb!!! 
Again Atlantic Heat 18mms the bait of the moment.

Good bit of angling mate!
Would like to know here he's fishing....Will have to ply him with beer me thinks!!
Aug 08
Top Rod

Mr Harris. Well deserved.
Another fish to his growing tally! 25lb + of very tricky water park fish.
Top angling to one of the most hardest working anglers on the water.

Unstoppable.

Mr Rose has been out again. Fishing down at Rockford, John and the Heat are literally turning the place over.....20 fish out on his last two visits, now another 8 fish since then has graced his net!
38, 32, 30 plus 5 more twenty's!
Large amounts of Atlantic Heat 18mms again scoring for the Welsh wizard.

Top result Mate!!!
Aug 08
Another to the Heat

Steve Pullee is having a dream season on the Atlantic Heat.
Fishing on a Oxford Syndicate water, Paul has accounted for the biggest mirror in the lake on his last session at 45lb, and now the biggest common in the lake at 39.08!!!
Steve is another angler who doesn't get much time out on the bank, so when he does he has to make it count. Steve's first choice was Atlantic Heat and now he uses nothing else!
Fishing a quiet corner of the lake and introducing Atlantic Heat 15-18mms, soon had the fish rooting around. Steve lowered the bait in after two hours feeding, for the inevitable to happen......5 mins later
the biggest common in the lake is laying in his net.

Great result Steve, top stalking.
Aug 08
PB Common for Claire.

The Girlfriend managed to nip out for an evening stalking while I was slaving away cooking tea (cough, cough!).
20 minutes was all that was needed before Claire's rod was bent double and a new PB common was landed.
Our new A-stim pellets were fed onto a margin shelf until the fish were feeding then Claire skilfully lowered one of our perfect pellet hook baits onto the hot spot.
Job done! Nice one Honey, teas ready!
Jul 08 Welcome return

Sometimes lakes do pay their dues! Hats off to Ben who travels a hour or so just for a short overnight sessions this season. Fishing on a very pressured water Ben endured a string of fruitless sessions at the start of the spring.
With a 3 month break Ben returned to put the record straight and achieved it in style with this 38.8 lake record common! Fishing at short range Ben flicked some broken Atlantic Heat boilies up against a weed bed.
Only 20 minutes later the rod is off and Ben is doing battle with the best looking common in the lake.....

Top angling Ben, just rewards.
Jul 08
Rockford Rocked!!

Our very own John Rose has made a return to the banks. The talented Welsh man with the Midas touch fished down at the mighty Rockford for a couple of 5 night stays. Armed with the Atlantic Heat John set about introducing 3kg mix of 18, 20 and 24mms over his two separate 5 day sessions .
To our knowledge this was the first time the Atlantic Heat was used on Rockford (you may remember the Monster Red catching one of the biggest fish in that pond last year to Chris Currie- again 1st time it was used on the lake ).
I lost count of the amount John caught in two sessions!! Lucky he sent over the stats for me....

10 nights fishing, 20 carp landed! Five 30's to 34.12, 12 x 20lb+ to 29.12 and 3 upper doubles!!!
Considering most anglers down there would view 6-8 fish a season good result we thought that John and the bait did very well!!

Top Angling John......The Welsh Wizard returns....We hope that John stays with us and is not tempted back to the bright lights of Cardiff city centre, we hadn't seen him for last 8 months!!
Jul 08
Mr Consistent

Mike Holly from Bristol dropped us an e-mail with a couple of fish from his Oxford syndicate water. The Bristol rod who is no stranger to this page fished his usual overnight session (when he can get out of house hold chores!).
Mike managed a couple of overnighters and was rewarded with these crackers of 33 and 32lb.
Atlantic Heat and our new A-stim pellets doing the business.

Nice one Mike.
Jul 08
Rinsing it!

Dave Bodman and Steve Chapman are having an unbelievable season on their chosen Hampshire syndicate water. Since opening night on the 16th of June, Steve and Dave have landed 60 fish out of the 180 stock! 
You may remember that Dave had a bumper session last week on the Atlantic Heat landing 15 fish to mid 30. Well, Steve Chapman managed to have 34 takes with 28 fish landed!! Wow.
 
Stats as follows. 6 x 30+ (35.8) 9 x 20lb 13 x upper doubles.

Once more the lads returned for a weekend session and landed another 12 fish between them! Big beds of Atlantic Heat 18mms doing the trick.
At this rate these boys will be running out of fish to catch!
Steve is pictured with 2 of the 30's from his session.

Top angling guys.

Taylors Triumphant

Father and son pair Greg and Jake (14) Taylor made a clean sweep at the Nickolls leisure charity match last weekend. They not only landed the most fish but Jake took the biggest fish of the event on the ever faithful Atlantic Heat 15mms.
The pair fished pellets and Boilies at varying ranges to romp home in first place.

Well done boys, great result.
Jul 08
Dave Bodman from Wiltshire
sent us this e-mail regarding a mega result on his syndicate water in Hampshire.

"Hi Mark,
I have been pre - baiting with the Heat along with my buddy Steve Chapman since March and this weekend it all came together. I fished for 36 hrs in total and in the 1st 24hrs from Friday evening I had 18 runs, landing 15 fish including 2 x 30's from the A-Team. The Vein @ 36.10 (spawned out) and Baby Nokia 32.08 (spawned out). Other fish included 8 x 20+ fish including a  29, 28, 27  along with a few high doubles!
What a result, What a Bait.
I've attached pic's of the 36.10 and 32.08.

Regards

Dave."
