Alistair Campbell is one of an increasing number of local anglers who are putting their faith in the new Bankside D-Liver freezer bait and just this week he sent an email to let us know how he's been getting on. Deciding to target the popular Hunts Corner Lake on the Richworth Linear complex, it's fair to say that Ali's been doing rather well!  21-08 Ali's last two sessions on Hunts Corner have accounted for no less than 24 carp. This has included fish of 26-08, 28, and a 29-14 topped by a mirror of 31-04. In between trips to Hunts Ali has also been creeping around Oxlease for a few hours at a time and this has resulted in another 6 carp to just under 20.  22-10 All the fish were caught on Bankside Tackle 12mm D-Liver Boiles fished in solid PVA bags of Mini Grubber Pellets and crushed D-Liver Boilies. These were fished tight to the weedbeds at various ranges either on their own or over a light spod mix of hemp and sweetcorn. Rigs comprised of 2ft of ESP leadcore, a 21/2oz Korda Square pear inline lead and 3in braided hooklinks with a size 7 ESP Curve hook.  31-04 Keep an eye out in the new gallery for more pictures of Ali's recent catches. We've also just heard that he's been at it again and this time landed the one that everyone's after on Hunts, the lakes biggie at just under 40. Once again, the D Liver being the successful bait. Picture's soon. |

River specialist Tim Maslen has been literally bombarbing us with pictures from his very successful summer campaign on the middle part of the River Severn, so here are a few pictures to whet your appetite.  8lb 2oz Concentrating on one particular swim, regular baitings of Team Barbel and XL Grubber Pellets have seen the sometimes elusive Severn Barbel literally queueing up to feed, with Tim's short evening sessions proving that you don't need to live on the bank to find success. Multiple captures have been coming regulary with up to five fish in a session up to a best so far of 11lb 14oz.  11lb 14 oz Tim's efforts just go to show what's still possible on what at times has been a very out of sorts River Severn since the July 2007 floods.  9lb 2oz Keep an eye on our updated gallery for more captures from Tim over the coming weeks.  9lb 9oz |

The father and son duo of Ben and Barry O'Connor are two of the most consistent carp anglers around at the moment and have recently been at it again with a big catch of carp from Rookley County Park on the Isle Of Wight. A favourite venue of the O'Connors, Ben and Barry really have got this water sussed now and top of Barry's most recent session was a fish known as Rosie at 37lb. 
Not wanting to be out done by his old man, young Ben was also into the waters larger residents with Rosie's Mate at 36lb 4oz. Ben's catch also included another 30 pounder along with no less than twenty different 20's, a massive catch by anyone's standards! 
Both Ben and Barry put their faith in the new Mainline Cell boilie, and fished these alongside various quantities of the ever popular Mini Grubber Pellets. |
