England ace, and Preston Innovations & Sonubaits backed rod Lee Kerry stormed to victory in the latest round of the Lindholme Natural Baits League with a 42-2-0 net of skimmers and F1s. Drawn on peg 29 on Bonsai Lake, Lee caught skimmers early fishing maggots over groundbait, before adding some quality F1s to his net on maggots later.
Runner up on the day was Lee’s Barnsley teammate, James Dent, who caught 35-13-0 fishing maggots over groundbait from Beeches Pool. In third place was Joe Goulding, also on Bonsai, who caught a lovely 34-10-0 net of F1s again on maggots.
Des Shipp’s Commercial Edges
Who better to give you 10 top tips for catching carp on the short pole this month than England superstar, Des Shipp!
1 - Keep Quiet
One of the most important things to do when you’re planning to catch at close range is to remain as quiet as possible.
Wise fish in today’s commercials are very wary of bankside disturbance, so try to keep any banging and movements on the bank to a minimum while setting up, and more importantly, when fishing.
2 - The Magic Depth
Fishing in the right depth of water is essential if you plan on catching on the short pole, and I often see people fishing far too close for my liking, in too shallower water.
Where possible, the minimum depth that I like to target is four feet.
Stylish And Quality -Match Fishing looks at the Cresta Blackthorne luggage range from Spro.
This is attractive, hard-wearing luggage at a price that doesn’t break the bank. And the other great thing about the Cresta Blackthorne luggage?
It looks pretty sexy on the bank too! Manufactured from hard-wearing and waterproof material, the Cresta Blackthorne luggage features ultra-strong zips, and reinforced straps and seams. In a break from convention, the ready-rod bags do not come with fixed rod ties, but instead are supplied with a separate complement of neoprene versions.
The Italian Stallion!Match Fishing shines the spotlight on the One Evolution 2. 0 seatbox brought to you by Colmic.
It seems that seatboxes are THE show-stopping item for tackle companies to release at the moment, with a host of new pews set to hit the market. Colmic is determined not to miss the party and means business with its new £899 seatbox, the One-Evolution 2.
