#teamfin member Justin Grassi with a 30+ common from his first trip of the year to Bluebell Lakes.

Justin told us ‘I decided to fish kingfisher. With the weather conditions of recent, the lake hadn’t been fishing that well though a change in more favourable conditions helped me catch this 30+ Common using a Classic corn 12mm pop-up lightly sprinkled with a mix of boilie crumb, together with a Classic corn hardened hookbait.

Well done Justin. you can see more of Justins’ bait of choice here:

Looking for something bigger.

Looking for something bigger.. After a few requests from big carp and catfish hunters in our teams, we have produced a special batch of 22mm cork wafters, with a real strong fishy aroma, a blend of salmon and tuna to be precise… to get them honing in on your bait. Certainly stops ‘most’ of the bream picking up your precious hookbait. See more here: https://spottedfin.com/…/big-fish-22mm-wafters-salmon…/

* A dream come true *

Posted on June 21, 2022 by richardhandel

*** A dream come true ***

Darryl Clarkson a customer from Dewsbury has sent in this awesome catch report.

Venue: Syndicate lake,Yorkshire, Mirror carp (linear) weighing in at 30 lbs 10 oz.

Darryl’s chosen hookbait was a Pink Pepper Squid pop up fished with chopped and crumbed Smokey Jack and Classic Corn boilies, Smokey Jack pellets all soaked in Smokey Jack food dip and Finamino bait soak.

Here’s what Darryl had to say:

“I have been after this fish for 7 years. The lake went syndicate 2 years ago and I was lucky enough to get offered a ticket so I can now put a bit more time in on the lake. I was fishing to snags when the rod ripped off and I knew straight away it was a good fish as i could not move it at first!! The side strain eventually got it on the move where it just stayed deep for 20 minutes, it fought like a tank! When I eventually got it to the surface I recognised it straight away and absolutely was beside myself and started shaking like mad! Eventually I got it in the net and unlike me I gave it the Danny Fairbrass GET IN THE NET… I was so happy!! I also had another 6 fish to 22lb, it was my first session using Spotted Fin products after a few of the other members persuaded me to give it a go as they had done well on it last year… and I’m so glad I changed bait. Every fish I caught was crapping it out in the sling and i used 10 kilos over the weekend which on this lake is a lot of bait but they simply could not get enough of it. Dreams really do come true.”

Well what can we say but great angling Darryl! A worthy entry for this months catch competition. If you think you have a winning catch report to send in you can do that on our website and you may win a prize.
