Maximum pellet attraction
by Roy van Goor

I just got back from a trip to France that opened my eyes on the reaction and attraction of maximum action pellets. I struggled hard, the water temperature was very low about 6 degrees and the fish just did not seem to be moving. Using my bait boat with the echo sounder I could see some fish holding up in mid-water, on a far marginal shelf. The depth was about 15 feet and the fish where in 8 feet of water. But nothing seemed to get them interested. (more…)

A few years ago I managed to get my hands on a lead smelting machine from Janns Netcraft in America. Being an engineer by trade I have found this sort of thing intriguing and I love trying out new moulds that I make up from aluminium blocks. My melting pot has a small spout underneath for the molten lead to pour out and into the mould. One word of warning for anyone who wants to make their own leads is to wear goggles a face mask and gloves. I would also recommend doing it in a garage rather than in the house for safety reasons.

Just had a bit of an interesting lesson drilled home to me and caused me to take a step back and take a fresh look at my angling. I have always said I like to keep a open mind on things and try and be as different to others as I can. If everyone is using pop-ups I will use bottom baits. If everyone is on tiny baits I will try large baits and so on.
However, last week during a short day session I was totally outfished on my own water! I had taken a guest Dave Booth along with me and promptly sat there and watched him catch four carp whilst I struggled to hook one only to lose it again a few seconds later. (more…)

I was fishing down my local runs water and got talking to one of the lads their when he informed me he had never come across a catfish and didn’t really know anything about them or how to fish for them. This got me thinking about how many people were in the same situation and the information I could share.

The Catfish has a long body, like an eel, with no scales on it with a large head and mouth. The inside of the mouth has rows of tiny little teeth like Velcro on the top and bottom of its mouth. It has barbules, two long ones on the upper jaw and either two or four shorter ones on the lower jaw, for detecting its prey. It has a small almost pointless looking dorsal fin whilst the anal fin stretches backwards until it almost reaches the tail. The colouration of the Wels can vary from fish to fish but normally they have dark eyes with a dark green black body with creamy yellow sides creating a mottled effect. Albino looking catfish are sometimes found but are very rare; these have red eyes and a yellow/creamy colouration to its body. (more…)
