Take a look at this for a February capture!
Team member Tomas Mascha has landed this 56lb 8oz common amd some icey conditions. Fishing a large gravel pit near his home in the east of France Thomas decied to prime a deep, clear area with a little Up & Down Mix, some Candy Floss boilies and some prepared particles.
Presenting a 14mm Candy Floss pop-up on a size 4 hook over the top Thomas went on to land this impressive mirror. A very slow take was followed by a slow, heavy fight and Thomas knew it was a good fish right from the start.
However, when the fish broke the surface to be netted, even he wasn't expecting it to be quite this big!

Braving The Cold

Team member Julien Porquet has been out braving the cold and come up trumps with this chunky mirror just over 30lb. In fact, a day session was Julien’s way of passing the time while waiting for the birth of his son!
Reh Herring 15mm boilies fished over a small, tight bed of maggots and crushed Red Herring boilies on a spot 2.5m deep did the trick.
