2013 Session #3 video up now! 16lber and then a 30lber Catch and Release Fishing!

2013 is shaping up nicely with more fishing showing for myself. I had this awesome 16lber on CC Moore xxl tiger nuts in talin with a stick mix that I shared in my previous blog from before. I then followed it up with a 30lber shortly after! I could not have asked for a better night!

 

As far as rigs go, I just kept it simple with some korda n-trap hook length , a normal hair rig an then I made pva bags and slide them into the hook length and placed the hook into the bag to avoid tangles.

 

 

 

2013 Quick Session video up now 31lber first fish of the year.

 

Well 2013 has been off to a slow start with the water temperatures in the lower 40's and the fish activity at an all time low for me.  I finally struck gold the other night with my first fish of the year and it was a big one for sure. Thirty one pounds 6 ounces the Reuben Heaton scale finally came to as the fish settled. I was definitely pumped up after blanking for a good week and a half. It can get frustrating at times when you don't have fish in front of you and then out of nowhere you get a big one unexpectedly. Hopefully more will soon follow and after this one I then landed a 25lber.

 

 

What was funny is this all happened when the weatherman said it was a ZERO percent chance of rain and it dumped on me to say the least. During the heaviest of the storm is when I had a screamer and it was the thirty one pound fish. It finally stopped raining when I landed the fish so I could film and takes some photos. Soon after it started to rain again and then another nice fish went ripping out with my bait. I have been using CC Moore Belachan stick mix with shellfish concentrate and placing it into a pva bag and sliding it on my hook length. A Gaz Fareham Northern Special pop up in yellow had the fish addicted. Also the HNV Betaine hook baits did the trick as well for the 25lber. Hopefully More fish will be coming soon but this was one heck of a way to start off the season!

 

 

CC Moore Stick mix how to & xxl tigers video/article out now!

 This has been one of my spring favorites for the past couple years. It seems the carp love a sweet bait early spring and then move onto fishy flavors as they get closer to the spawn. This mix is super easy to make and also you can fish it either in stick mix form or a method ball/ ground bait.

 

Here is the video on youtube found below on how to make this stick mix from start to finish. Click HD to see in high quality!
