Last week Stuart Court experienced the session of a lifetime on the legendary Savay Lake in the Colne Valley. Any fish from this super tricky lake is highly prized but to catch five in the space of around 48 hours is almost unheard of! Here Stu gives his account, top angling mate! My luck was certainly in during my last rota at Savay but things started badly when an upper […]

Lee Colling achieved a long term dream recently when he banked his first UK 40lb common. Well done Lee! “I recently managed to catch my first UK 40lb Common – its been a milestone I have been trying to break for a few years hence why I joined Farriers. The Common was taken along with 4 other 20s up to 28lb, the big girl weighed 43lb 10oz and is the […]

The original ESP Super Grade rip-stop clothing proved to be a big hit a few years ago as it introduced waterproof and breathability ratings of a standard never used before in mainstream carp fishing clothing. This year we have taken the same super tough, yet comfortably soft material and developed new designs of jacket, trousers and salopettes with an improved, more fitted cut. So these garments not only out perform […]

Darryl Dunn took advantage of the good conditions last week with some excellent on Bundy’s pit. Top angling mate! “I have recently returned from an unusually long session for me. I was able to do a 4 night stint on Bundys pit. With the weather having turned a little more Autumnal recently I had a feeling the fish would be starting to drop into the deeper water, and looking at the long […]

Kev Hewitt has been doing rather well on his version of arguably one of the most effective rigs of all time – the Hinged Stiff Rig. Here he gives us the lowdown… Although the hinged stiff rig has been around for donkey’s years, the very fact that it still figures in many top carp anglers armoury is a testament of just how effective the rig is at catching bigger carp. […]

Savay specialist Mark McKenna had a cracking result recently when he caught one of Savay’s most prized jewels, an original Leney mirror. Here Mark’s story: ‘I love fishing Savay due to the fact that you just never know what’s going to pull your string. I got down very early Sunday for my rota and had a thorough look around the pit for signs of happy carp. All I saw was […]

ESP’s Sean Trafford recently convinced his family to take their holiday at the beautiful La Gléhias fishery in France, landing a great selection of fish, including this 32lb beauty! We took our yearly trip to France last week but this one was slightly different as my partner and our little one came along to see what the fuss was all about.  La Gléhias was a new venue for us so we wasn’t […]

Mark Drake sent us this little report on his capture of a lovely old carp known as the Grey One weighing 33lb 4oz from the Roach Pit in Ringwoodshire. The Bristol based carp charmer presented a critically balanced PGB hook bait 15 yards from the bank on a small sandy area under an overhanging bush. A scattering of mixed nuts and 12mm boilies completing the dastardly trap. The rig comprised […]

Stuart Court had a right result on Savay last week, catching two of the lakes residents in the space of a few hours, a rare feat on this seriously tricky venue. After only fishing 2 nights on Savay so far this season due to an illness, a holiday and the extreme hot weather we’ve been having, last week saw my first proper effort on the historic venue rewarded with 2 […]

Jo Green braved the intense weather last week to catch this stunner from the Longfield Road lake. The weather was so hot in the run up to my next 48 hour session on the road lake, I was debating whether it was really worth even trying, were the fish even in a feeding mood? However as the hours passed on the Friday I decided to give it a go and […]
