Weekend pick up is by arrangement only - thanks for your cooperation.

Latest News

Club pit old un.

Laurence Yates sent me through this pic of a old Club lake 20lb+.
The lake in question is very snaggy and at times very tricky. Laurence has been steadily applying the Atlantic Heat to a few areas over a period of weeks.
The young Cirencester angling has now had a string of gorgeous fish that are black as your hat!
When they look like this weight is immaterial.

Big Orange meets Big Red!

Only the other week Greg and I were talking about this awesome fish and how Greg would dearly love to catch it.
Big Red only puts in an appearance once or twice a season, so when Greg and his son Jake booked up for a few days fishing they knew they would be up against it. In very hot conditions the pair notched up over ten fish between them before Greg on the last morning landed a brace that included Big Red at 31+ and the Baby Awesome at 26lb!
Not a bad mornings work. Both fish came to a combo of Atlantic Heat and Monster Red 18mms soaked in our superb Hot Fish Oil.
Top Result Greg. Well done.

Mr Consistent

Ever consistent Rob Morris sent us over his latest instalment of fish!
This 32lb beauty from Farriers came along with 2 other twenty plus mirrors on a single over night session.
The Swindon angler used 3kg of our legendary Atlantic Heat soaked with the New Hot Fish Oil.
All fish came at 40 yards range.
Top result Rob.

Beauty

Not too many details sent in with this one.
Paul Jefferies with a stunning 31lb+ from a very big and very hard South West pit.
Atlantic Heat 18mms soaked in our dip.
Well done m8.
 

Triumphant Taylor

Jake Taylor wins the British Young Carper 2010 at Linear Fisheries, Brasenose Two.
A massive congratulations to Jake who fished his socks off in the Qualifier on Tuesday and then in the final on Friday - Sunday. Fishing at a range of 130 yards Jake used our awesome Hot Fish Oil in conjunction with a special sloppy spod mix and liquid that I designed especially for the the event.
All fish came to Zigs soaked in the Hot fish oil presented at varying depths during his stay. I was sat with Jake on Saturday evening and then again on Sunday morning, the amount of work that went into his fishing was incredible. Constant spodding and tweaking! A big mention must go to Father Greg and friend Colin who worked very hard in the background making sure rods were clipped, bait was sorted etc.
Well done Team!
Jake finished up with over 20 fish landed for a combined weight of 301lb which I believe is a venue record for the BYCA event.
Well done Jake from all of us at Baitworks.


Russell up a PB.

Russell Jones made quick work of upping his PB when he shot straight from work to Farriers for an overnighter.
Some two hours later Russell was doing battle with this stonking 39lb common! Russell fished at short range to a silt patch and introduced 200 18mm Atlantic Heat shelf-life boilies.

Big congrats from all the Baitworks team, well done fella!!

Advanced Carp.

In this months Advanced Carp you can catch up with our very own Richard 'Cash' Farnan as he fishes an overnight session on a South West pit.
Rich chalked up over seven bites during his stay, this twenty among the pick of the bunch.
Monster Red 18mms soaked in our Hot Fish Oil fished in the margins accounted for all the fish.
 

Hot oil action

Head Farriers bailiff Shane O'Grady received his fresh batch of Atlantic Heat and hot fish oil the other day. The Swindon angler quickly put the bait to good use over at Farriers by landing a string of good fish on single overnight sessions. These cracking 30lb+ commons the latest victims to succumb to the awesome Atlantic Heat 18mms and Hot fish oil combo.

Well done Shane, top angling.


Dave Bodmin

Ever Consistent Dave Bodmin popped an email over to me with a pic of a new PB for a local syndicate lake.
Dave had been trickling the Atlantic into a couple of areas for a while now and on his first night he nails this chunk.
38.12 of home grown carp.
Top result Dave!

Top Rod

What a season this guy is having! Taron Warner has been concentrating on a very tricky South West pit this season.
Taron wisely put his faith in the Atlantic Heat as this bait has dominated this venue for the last 5 years and shows no sign of stopping.
Fishing for a couple of night at the venue, Taron introduced 2kg during his stay and notched up two fish in quick succession, 25lb+ and this lovely 34lb+ ( pictured).
Taz fished at 40 yards range to a area he had spotted fish rolling the previous morning.
Top result m8.
We will be interviewing Taz for the Club Baitworks section soon. Watch this space.

Reading results

Kevin Haskins from Bristol sent me over a couple of pictures this week.
Fishing on a Reading Syndicate water, Kevin has been enjoying consistent results this year. This 31.08 has already been landed once on the Atlantic Heat, so Kevin wasted no time at all to make it twice!
Other fish of note were 29.08 and 25.8 all falling to the mighty Atlantic Heat.
Well done Kev.

Linear

Dan sent us through this cracking 35+ linear from his local syndicate.
Dan had been applying the KingFish through out the closed season as was rewarded opening morning with this old character.

Top angling Dan

Tony Roberts

Tony Roberts has been fishing over at Wraysbury No.1 for a few seasons now.
From his observations from the boat Dave commented how the Boilies from a leading brand would remain uneaten on the lake bed for days and even weeks before they were eventually cleared by birds etc.
Since switching to the Atlantic Heat Dave tells me that the baits are gone with-in 2-3 days of baiting.
This cracking linear does not see the bank much in Wraysbury, so Dave was ecstatic to catch it so soon after switching to Baitworks gear.
Top result Dave.

Prince

Prince Giles is no stranger to this page.
Luckily the local tanning shop was fully booked so Giles took full advantage of a free evening and went fishing. The Cirencester squirrel caught this 26.4 in the early hours of the morning. What a fish! Check out the video in the Club Baitworks section. Atlantic Heat 18mms soaked in our Hot Fish oil too much for this fish to pass up.
Top angling fella.

Jamie Cook

New Baitworks user Jamie Cook has been tackling a couple of tricky waters this season.
Fishing with 15mm Atlantic Heat, Jamie informs us that two of his targets have been achieved already.
Both fish pictured have been on Jamie's wish list for a while now.
I'm sure you agree both are classic looking fish.
Well done Jamie, we are sure more and more will follow!


Buses

I don't really know how to write this one!
Nathan Fox fished up at Farriers recently and had what only can be described as a dream session.
Fishing over a 10 day period, Nathan notched up an incredible 27 fish haul with 10 x 30's and 3 x 40's!! Nathan has been using our new Hot Fish oil in conjunction with Atlantic Heat 18mms. The Hot fish oil is a liquid that can be used for a number of functions.....soaking hook baits, PVA bag work, coating free baits, the list is endless.
The fox fished at varying distances and applied Atlantic Heat steadily during his stay to keep the fish in his area. A top result from an angler that knows his stuff and testament to the Atlantic Heat, this is the best catch out of the lake in question.

Well done foxy.


Horseshoe return.

Being so busy over the last month or so I relished the opportunity to fish at one of my old haunts Horseshoe Lake in Lechlade.
I was invited over as part of the Trakker team to cover new products and hopefully catch a few fish for the camera. Although the fishing was very slow I did manage to winkle out a total of 6 fish over a couple of nights by moving onto showing fish. All fish were caught on Atlantic Heat shelf-life's soaked in our new Hot fish oil. These were cast to showing fish with a small PVA Atlantic Heat stick attached to aid
presentation in the weed. The fish pictured are 26lb and 27lb.


Kingsmead 40

Advanced carp editor Richard Stewart is having a dream season.
Fishing on a selection of waters Richard has caught some huge fish this year.
This 41lb+ fish from Cemex Kingsmead was captured during a feature for the magazine. Rich fished one of our special white pop ups over a spread of Atlantic Heat 18mms at range.
Top angling fella.

Huntstreet beaut.

Wayne Guest from Bristol sent me through this pic of a cracking mid twenty that was caught in less than 5 minutes of setting up!
After picking his bait up from my unit, Wayne then commented that he may pop into his local lake for a little dabble if he had time.....A short while later a text appeared on my phone with the fast result!
Atlantic 18mms fished at short range produced the goods for Wayne.

Result

Taron Warner (Taz) was ecstatic to catch his target fish recently.
The 40.12 mirror was just rewards for all the hard work this young lad had put in at the venue. I must say it was a pleasure to pop down and do the photo's and share in the moment with 10 or so like minded anglers.
Magic!
Taz fished over a total of 3kg of Atlantic Heat 18mms to a small gravel feature.

Top angling fella.
Tim Harris

New bait user Tim Harris has been steadily having them this season.
The Oxford angler picked up his first batch of Atlantic Heat recently and has caught where ever he has angled.
This 28+ the latest victim to fall to a big spread of 18mm bottom baits.

Well done Tim.

Gary King

Head bailiff Gary King sent us over a few snaps of some cracking fish he has been catching from Carp Society's Horseshoe lake, Lechlade.
Fishing with our 12mm Monster Red barrels at 60 yards accounted for this stunning 33lb linear.
Gary also had fish of 27lb and 24lb in the same session.

Good man!

Mike Warner

Another cracker for Mike. This 30.4 came on a single over night session from a private Cotswold venue.
Mike scattered 2 kg of Atlantic Heat 15 and 18mms and fished a 15mm Atlantic Pop up over the top.
This beautiful fish snaffled the bait in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Result

Atlantic result.

A 33lb for Russell Jones this weekend from Carp Society's Farriers.
Fishing at short range, Russell used 3kg of Atlantic Heat during his stay.
Top result as the lake was packed!!
Good angling m8.

Old Common.

I managed to nip in for a overnighter the other day.
This old 24lb common tore off in the morning.
Lovely fish, rushing to pack up to get back to the unit for
another busy day!


King Fish

Chris Burgess has been putting the new King Fish through its paces.
Fishing on a very tricky South West venue Chris latched into this superb 37.14 mirror 24 hours into his session. The Wiltshire angler introduced 2kg of 18mm King Fish boilies to an area he had seen fish activity the morning before.
Top angling fella.

Hooray for Harry

Harry Lindsey broke his PB twice in a day fishing with the awesome Monster Red boilies at the Warmwell complex.
Harry introduced a mixture of Monster Red boilies and pellets at close range. The action was thick and fast with young Harry catching 4 carp that day, fish of 10.4, 15.5, 17.8, and a 22.9 common all falling to Baitworks products.
Well done Harry, I have a feeling we will be seeing more of this talented young boy on these pages.

Top angling.


The Prince.

What a result this is! Giles Harris returned to a very pressured South West venue for a over night session.
Having not fished the venue since last year the Cirencester angler returned in pursuit of some of the fine residents that the lake holds. The next morning the phone was ringing and a ecstatic Harris was persuading me to come down and take some shots. The 38.4 stunner marks a PB common for Harris. Giles introduced plenty of Atlantic Heat to a area he had seen a fish roll in, again the Atlantic turning them over.
Watch the video now on the Club Baitworks section.

Top angling fella.

New water.

Matt Goldstraw sent me through this email from a recent session.

"Hi Mark

2nd night on a new North West water and had a result on Atlantic Heat with this 32.06 common, also had a 21 the same night both on 15mm bottom baits.
I would guess it's the 1st time the Heat has been used on this water. A great bait doing its job from the off.

Cheers

Matt"

Taz strikes again!

Taron Warner caught up with this cracking looking 25lb+ common recently.
Fishing of a very pressured South West venue, Taz cast his trusted Atlantic Heat to a showing fish.
Just 20 minutes later this common is in the folds of his net.

Top angling fella.

Dan's the man

Dan Pieman has been doing his thing over at Wick. The local plasterer has accounted for a number of fish this season fishing over night sessions between work.
Dan has been using our Shelf Life Atlantic Heat boilies fishing at various ranges to tempt a string of good fish.
This 30.03 carp tore off in the morning just before Dan was off!

Great timing.

Off and running.

Taz sent me this awesome 27lb+ fully scaled. Fishing on a very tricky South West venue, Taz did the night in a largely neglected area.
In the early hours this resident tore off with his Atlantic Heat hook bait. A fantastic result from a very demanding water.

Well done Taz.

Mike's Belter

This stunning 27.04 mirror was the result of a weekend session for Mike Warner.
Fishing a private Cotswold venue, Mike introduced 2kg of Atlantic Heat 18mms to a silt bed and cast his 18mm Atlantic Heat bottom bait amongst them.
A belter of a fish I'm sure you will agree.

Top man.

Last Gasp

Ben Smith from Bristol had some pay back for his extreme baiting up efforts that include a 90mile round trip to and from the venue. With the coldest winter ever and very few captures from the venue this season, Ben was ecstatic to see his Buzzer burst into life with an angry carp attached. The 21lb although a small one for the lake was just rewards for all the effort and commitment Ben had put in through out the winter.
Monster Red 18mms tripped the mirror up at 60 yards range.

Nice one Ben.

Ever faithful.

Dan the Pieman has been consistently catching them at a local club lake Wick water.
The local angler has been steadily applying the Atlantic Heat 18mms and has been awarded with a string of good fish.
This 24+ was caught along with two other fish of 17lb and 20lb. These were the only fish caught off the bottom that week! All fish were on the ever faithful Atlantic Heat pop ups soaked in Glug.
Well done Dan, sure a biggie is just round the corner.

Kicking off.

What great weather we are having! Those horrid winter months are now becoming a distant memory as the UK carp start to move and feed around the country.
Tom Pollard of Cotswold Rods sent me this pic of a cracking 30.12 mirror.
The fish affectionately known as big Red came in a hectic 2 hour feeding spell that accounted for two other fish of 17lb and 19lb. Tom introduced 2kg of Monster Red 18mms at close range to kick off his 2010 season in style.

The Works

This 27.02lb mirror was caught by Rob Fletcher. Fletch fished a very low stock water only containing a handful of carp so was made up with this result. Monster Red 18mms fished to dying weed tripped up the mirror that was excreting large amounts of Monster Red all over the sling!

Top result Rob.

First timer

We had this pic sent to us from Julian Horne from Somerset. This was the first time that the Atlantic Heat was used at his local syndicate.
Julian notched up a 12 fish haul during his 36 hour stay! This 27.12 the high light of the trip. All fish were taken on 15mm Atlantic Heat bottom baits. Instant Heat, instant result.
Top angling fella!

Acorns.

Apart from catching carp and fishing bait my next love would have to be fish farming, to watch fish grow from egg to large carp is hugely addictive and massively rewarding. I always make myself available to help out at Simon and Viv's fish farm when needed. Only last week Simon asked if I could help out for the day, so with the alarm set for 5am, I was soon off on my way down to Sussex to literally get up close and personal with lots of carp, mud and sweat!
Draining the ponds and moving the fish up to the holding tanks we set about grading and weighing the fish. I have to say that these fish are absolutely stunning, just to have these 6-7lbers in your hands and know that they will be off to big fish waters round the country is positively humbling. I remember last year grading the fish that were destined for the Carpark lake at Yately before Mick and Roo from Cemex picked them up.
That was an awesome experience that left me buzzing for the rest of the day!
The shot of these two crackers sums up the day at VS fisheries. A very hard days graft but very rewarding.

First of the Year
Richard Stuart sent us through this pic of a cracking twenty caught recently on the ever faithful Atlantic Heat 18mms. This was the first carp caught from the Specimen Lake at Twynersh Fishery in 2010. Rich was out on a live feature for Advanced Carp mag, full write up of his session can be seen in the May issue.

Nice one Rich.....

On the move.

The Pieman ventured up to Thorpe Lea last week armed with the soon to be released Monster Red stick mix and 12mm Monster Red Boilies.
A short day session accounted for some cracking fish landed with this 19lb+ the pick of the bunch.

All fish were caught at 100 yards plus to the side of a island.

Top man Dan.

Simon Scott night.

Hi Guys, don't forget that Simon will be up here at the Cotswolds on the 28th February doing the Wraysbury slide show.
Full details can be found on the new Cotswold website
www.cotswoldcarp.com

Due to demand we have now made this event all ticket. However, if the full allocation are not sold then there will be a small number of tickets available on the door.
First come first served.

Just the tonic.

Jake Taylor made his return to fishing in style this week.

The Bristol angler has had ligament damage in his right knee, so was forced to watching carp fishing on the TV for 5 weeks. After the Doc had given him the all clear, Jake and his dad Greg ventured up to the Thorpe Lea complex armed with our new Monster Red 12mm barrels and our soon to be released stick mix.

The pair notched up an incredible 27 takes landing 22 fish over their 24hr session.
The haul included six twenties, Jake is pictured here with a couple of the better ones.
All the fish came at range on a very cold Winter's day.

Top angling Fellas.

The big thaw!

This 26.6lb common came before the big freeze an a bitterly cold night. With all lakes frozen all we can do is sit and wait for the weather to change.
Very frustrating for those who have baited and primed for the winter....Back to square one!
The common pictured was caught on Monster Red pop ups over a light scattering of bait.

Black Spot

The Water Park Prince has had another from a Private Cotswold Venue.
Moving into a new area Giles introduced a mixture of Monster Red and Atlantic Heat 15mms at a range of 40 yards. This fish (Black Spot) marks his 4th from the water and was caught before the big freeze, 24.8lbs.

Top angling Prince!

Jackpot for Roger

What a fish!
Roger Williams had been serving his time on a notoriously hard South West venue.
Travelling from Bridgewater, Roger would relentlessly fish every weekend in search of one of the lakes jewels. Well they don't come much better than this 41.01lb that registers both Personal Best for Roger and lake record to
boot!!

The successful bait?
Monster Red 18mms fished at short range to a gravel feature. Fantastic fish and I was very privileged to be asked along to do the photos.

Well done Roger, well deserved and well angled.

Clock work

Another cracker! 33.14. Monster Red 15mms fished at short range on a short overnighter has again done me proud.
This one has caught over 300 baits scattered over a wide area.

Wicked!

The Guest Fish

A single overnighter for Giles Harris turned up this 28lb+ for the Cotswold angler.
Fishing a private venue, Giles recorded his 3rd fish from the water that only opens for part of the year.
Atlantic Heat 15mms fished at short range with a scattering of hemp did the trick again.

Top fish Giles.

Over Nighter

Popping in for an over nighter on a pre-baited patch again turned up trumps for myself.
Fishing over light weed at 50 yards I presented 3 baits popped up at varying heights.
This 27lb+ mirror ripped off early morning before work.
Fantastic fish.

Buzzing.

New water, same result

Swindon angler Rob Morris sent us through this pic of a 30lb+ from a new water.
Rob fished as a guest at the South West venue, and quickly set about introducing 2kg of Monster Red 15mms to a feature at close range.
This mirror picked up his popped up hook bait just an hour into his stay.

Top marks Rob.

Late

Giles Harris had some explaining to do when he was late for work the other day.
Fishing an overnight
session, the Cotswold angler had a hectic morning landing two crackers from a private South West water.
The two upper twenty's came from a pre-baited spot just 10 yards out.
15mm Monster Red and Atlantic Heat pop ups fished over a scattering of boilies the winning combo.

Great result for Giles.


The water in question has only done a few bites this season but all fish have come to Baitworks products.


Beauty

What can I say about this corker.
This 25.10 simply took my breath away when it rolled in my net the other morning. The colours at this time of year are something else. This fish was landed after a overnighter on a pre-baited patch that so far has been turning up the goods for me.
A mixture of Atlantic Heat and Monster Red 15mms proving to much to resist for another of the lakes hidden secrets.

Winterised

Please not that all Baitworks boilies have been winterised for the winter.

Fish with confidence guys.

Mark
Welcome back.

Steve Bentley sent me through this pic of a 30.4 common caught by his friend 'Stalky'.
Steve mentioned that his mate hasn't been fishing for 3 years and had started fishing a local water just to get back into the swing of things. Stalky used the Atlantic Heat 15mms for the first time after pre-baiting a area of the lake for a week, the result? This stunning common that is the second biggest fish in the pond!

Top result m8!!

Jobs a goodun!

David Ellyatt sent us through this e-mail after successfully landing one of his target fish.

"Attached are pics of the 35.04 mirror I caught last night, hinged chod rig using Atlantic heat pop up over a spread of around 50 x 20mm freebies.
Biggest fish in the lake, a proper old warrior on only my second night back on after losing it last year. Pre-baited with 4kg of heat earlier in the week".
Jobs a goodun!

Nice one Dave.

Micro.

Paul Allen caught this cracking 27lb+ from a very tricky South West venue.
Paul used the ever faithful Atlantic Heat 18mms and introduced 3kg during his stay. The remarkable Atlantic Heat still dominates this venue year on year and still catches the lions share of fish each year.

Top result Paul.

Another 30 for Greg.

Greg Taylor sent us this pic of a superb 30.10 common.
Greg used our new 12mm Monster Red barrels to land this gorgeous fish over at Farriers.

The 12mms are now available on the website.

Day to remember.

Bristol angler Justin Badman had a memorable day session recently.
Justin used our Monster Red paste to good effect on the day only venue to land two fish that the day, the first was a 30.10 mirror and then just as he was packing up this clonking 36.2 mirror picked up his last rod.

Great result Justin.

Back on the Bank

With the summer over I have finally managed to put together a campaign on a large Southern water that I have walked round a few times this year.
Introducing a mixture of Monster Red 15mm and 18mms to a couple of areas of light weed most weeks had be chomping at the bit to get over for my first session.
After rolling the last boilie of the day I jumped in the car and made my way for the first overnighter on the baited patch.
After a quiet night the middle rod goes into melt down at 5.30am, seeing me flying out the bag to grab the rod in question. 10 minutes of heavy lunges and this superb 30.10 mirror is in the bottom of my net.
I was blown away with the beauty of this very old fish, spot on.
No sooner had I weighed the fish then the other rod was off! This one weighed in at 30.09 and was like a solid block of chocolate!
Photos done and the swim and I a total mess!
A fantastic start, lets hope there's more to follow?

Big un.

Dave Bodman from Wiltshire has been in touch with details of this superb 37.01 capture.
Fishing a small 2.5 acre lake with a small head of fish in it, Dave used our Atlantic Heat 15mms during his visits to the lake. Last week produced 2 x 30lb+ and this week Dave hit the jackpot with the 37.01 fish pictured.
Dave was especially happy as most of the other lake users are on a different bait and piling lots in.
Just goes to show that a quality bait such as the Heat doesn't need lots and lots of baiting for it to be recognised.
Totally instant and totally awesome.

Well done Dave.

First session result.

We had this e-mail sent through by Dan from Kings Lynn.

I recently had a 72hr stint at Willowcroft Fisheries and Wisbech Cambs with my brother Jason
Using some Atlantic Heat pinched from my father-in-law we managed 23 fish in total over a large spot baited with hemp and boilies.

Between us we managed more fish in our stint than all of the other 6 anglers on the lake at the same time.
Our haul included 7 doubles 11 twenties and 5 thirties. What's remarkable was a double capture of our second largest fish of 32.7lb.
I caught this fish on the first night and my brother re-caught it on the 3rd night!!
The largest fish came in at 34lb called half tail, so a regular told me. Not only did we manage a large haul but we managed a double capture a new personal best for both of us. The 34lber pictured was a named fish to I've managed to cross off 3 goals in 1 session...a new pb, an English 30 and a named fish.

Although you must always hear I feel this its all due to our bait the Atlantic Heat. All other anglers were blanking or only getting 1 or 2 fish we definitely had a session we wont be forgetting for a very long.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to getting my hands on the winter version of the Atlantic Heat many thanks for producing such a remarkable bait, keep it up.

Holiday!

Having a few days off to go angling is very much a luxury for me at the moment.
The demand for the bait is as high as ever putting tremendous pressure on myself to fulfil orders each week. There is however light at the end of a long dark tunnel! Wheels are turning in more ways than one!
Watch this space.

B
ack to the fishing.....A few days over the fantastic Churn pool was tonic for a Holiday that so desperately needed to recharge and refocus. I did book the lake for 7 days and took full advantage of this by introducing 25kg of boilies to two areas of the lake in the hope of having options if the weather was high or low pressure.
Turning up to fish Wed-Sunday I was a little more than confident that one of the big commons would make a appearance. After moving swims I finally got amongst the action and landed fish of 14.8, 16.8, 19.9, 24.10 and 30.01. The 30.01 common was The Long common and yes I did reweigh the fish twice to make sure on the weight!!
All fish were taken on a mixture of our surface slickers, Atlantic Heat/Monster Red boilies.

The Sunday night entertainment was the Baitworks BBQ!
Thanks guys For all your help with the night.
Great to see everyone together.

Like Buses!

Greg Taylor has been trying to break the 30lb barrier for some time now.
Having been very very close on a few occasions the needle never crept over the magical mark.
Greg excitedly phoned me on a Saturday evening to inform me he had caught not one but two 30+ plus fish within minutes of each other!
Monster Red 18mms fished at 40 yards, in conjunction with the new Monster Red stick mix that Greg is trialling for us turned up the goods.
Top angling Greg, well chuffed for you fella.

Farriers.

Jake Taylor has been testing a couple of our products over at Carp Society's Farriers.
Using our on-test Atlantic Heat stick mix and Atlantic Oil, Jake has had a steady run of fish from the venue. This 35lb and 26lb came on a resent two night session.
The Bristol rod used Atlantic Heat 18mms in conjunction with the new products.

Top angling m8.

Rose again!

John Rose has been back down to Rockford again.
Those poor fish have to endeavour this man sticking another hook in them before he lets them rest.
This resent visit resulted in this 42.8 plus others of 33.10 and 24lb.
Atlantic Heat 18mms fished at short range accounted for another haul for the likable Welsh man.

Well done m8.
Sep 09
Big Red.

Dan (Pieman) sent us through this pic from a resent session over at Churn Pool.
This fish known as the Big Red has been on Dans wish list for sometime. Using the ever faithful Atlantic Heat 18mms, Dan introduced 4kg over his stint at the lake. This beautiful 30+ was the highlight of his 6 fish catch at the Pool.

Great result m8.

Unstoppable!

Another successful trip to Rockford this week for John Rose resulted in two 20's and one of the most sought after fish in pond, this lovely looking 37lbs 8oz mirror. What a fish!
John used a total of 7kg of Atlantic Heat 18/15mms and was coating his freebies in our Atlantic Heat oil which is currently on test.
Fantastic result John....again.

New user.

Nathan Horton recently made the switch over to Baitworks boilies and has had a excellent start on the bait.
Fishing on a very pressured South West venue Nathan has now caught 6 of the residents in a very short amount of time. This 31lb and 26lb coming in the same session. The ever faithful Atlantic Heat still proving to be the only choice for anglers who target these types of waters.
The local angler fished up against a weed bed and used 3kg of 18mms over his weekend stay.

Top result Nathan.

More Welly.

Reg Verney continued his success at Wellington Country Park.
This 39.06 common his latest capture. Reg fished a 18 mm pop up over 2kg of scattered Atlantic Heat bottom baits.
Another top result for Reg.

Well done M8.

Lake 61.

Rob Morris from Swindon had this cracking 31.12 common from the Carp Society's lake (Farriers).
Rob fished with Monster Red 18mm bottom baits at 40 yards to trip the fish on a single overnighter between work.

Again another result for the ever consistent Swindon angler.

Atlantic Brace.

Andy Williams had a session that he will never forget this month.
Fishing over at Churn Pool Fishery in the Cotswolds, Andy picked an area of the lake that he knew would receive a fresh westerly wind that was forecast the next day.
Baiting up with Atlantic Heat shelf life 18mms at a range of 15 yards, Andy set his traps and awaited the due weather change. The next day Andy landed a brace of big commons at 32.10 and 34.04 within minutes of each other. We were on hand to capture it all on video (currently on Club Baitworks) and what a pleasure it was to share the moment with two fantastic commons on the bank.


Superb result Andy

Return of the Rose.

We had not heard from Mr Rose for a while and suspected that the welsh wizard had once again slipped into the socialising trap once more! We always knew the force was Strong with this one and when this picture appeared in my in-box I did have a smile to myself.
John hasn't been angling since his last exploits on Rockford last summer catching a silly mount of fish in very little time.... Well, on his very first session back John only manages to lands the biggest fish in the lake 38.8lbs (spawned out) inside 24hours! Mr Rose baited in the margins with 100 x 15mm Atlantic Heat boilies coated in the matching dip and watched the fish pick up his hookbait before steaming off towards the centre of the lake.

A fantastic result John...Welcome back!

Paul Allen

Micro sent us though this pic of a 28lb+ caught from a very tricky south west water.
Micro used the new KingFish 18mms and introduced 2kg during his two night stay.
Top result fella.

Great start

Jake Taylor got off to a flier over at Carp Society's lake 61.
Turning up for his first night Jake fished at 60 yards range to a silt patch. The Bristol rod is currently testing an Atlantic Heat stick mix and a very special oil for us. Judging from the results it looks like another two solid products will be released shortly. This 30.8 common screamed off in the middle of the night with a 18mm Atlantic Heat bottom bait to signal a dream start for Jake.....

Top angling m8.

Top Slick
Well what a heatwave we are having! Even the tench are up on top getting a tan and I'm sure that Paul "Micro" Allen was shrunk passed 4ft in the relentless mid-day heat!
We are set to release the Baitworks floaters, namely "Top Slick".
I have been messing about with these for around a year now and have given Mr Fox a few Kg's to have a dabble on some of his waters. Results have been very good, this 28.12 cracker was caught along with 2 others on a short day session by myself.
The floaters have been formulated with a addictive taste profile and a awesome mixed oil content that flattens the surrounding surface water. We have also added a liquid food that travels downwards through the water column (very important).
We are sure these are set to catch an awful lot of carp over the years.
