Spring is nearly here… and you know what that means 👀🌱
The lakes are waking up, the days are stretching, and the carp will soon be moving out of the winter sulk and onto the munch. Those first warm winds and a bit of sunshine on the water can switch them on overnight — and the anglers who prep early always seem to get the bites.
Now’s the time to start introducing a bit of natural food. Particles are perfect in spring: easy to digest, full of attraction, and they keep fish grubbing around your spot without overfeeding them. A light but regular baiting approach can make a massive difference before the banks get busy.
Hemp, maize and our mixed particles really come into their own this time of year — especially in the afternoons when the shallows warm up 🌤️
Get your spots primed now… because that first proper spring session is closer than you think, and the first runs of the year always hit different 🎣

I would like to give a brief snap shot of my life and introduce myself;
My name is Richard Handel and was born in 1965 in Suffolk. I have worked as a UK Operation & Intermodule Manager for a shipping company. I live in Hampshire now and am married with 2 young children, both girls so I am a bit outnumbered even the cat is a girl!
I have been fishing since I was about 7 years old. I started on small local rivers in Suffolk, then moved onto gravel pits and then carp fishing. My personal best is a 39.08 mirror, over recent years I have started river fishing again, on the Hampshire Avon, this is a nice break from the carp lakes.
My life has turned a big corner this year, the company I was working for relocated their Operation centre to Estonia. I was offered a job at the head office in London. This would have meant a 5 day commute and working in Stratford. As a family, we did not fancy this, as I would hardly spend any time with the children (and the Mrs). So after 22.5 years, I was given a nice redundancy package and with my wife is working full time. I became the house husband.
This has meant a complete turn around in my fishing, as I can pick and choose when I go. I have found a splendid new syndicate to fish this year, which includes 5 lakes and some 8 miles of river with only 150 members. It's an amazing change to the way I am able to fish.
I am now trying to start my own tackle business and make a bit of a name for myself in the world of fishing, as I have retired from real work.
