Twelve Favourites of Christmas – Mark Holmes
When you start down the road of R&D, there are many things you need to consider.
One is not just making sure the prototype bait is working on known hotspots, but also seeing if the test bait draws fish away from baited hotspots to feed.
This is simply done by placing your hookbait where you haven’t before and are trying a new spot. This 46lb UK Common being such a magnificent example of this tactic working so well.
Placed away from known pick up spots, when this fella came calling, I nearly dropped the rod with excitement. Not just excitement in catching a stunner but additionally exciting to catch it during test conditions and time.
I think overall in a season laden with big carp , this one stands out as it really cemented in my brain the importance of using a food source bait every time over attractor style baits.
Merry Christmas and Carp Filled New Year to All
