It isn’t just traditional predatory species that will eat a livebait, as Mark Barratt found last week when he landed this huge 37lb 15oz carp on a small rudd offering intended for catfish. The 36-year-old, from Wilburton in Cambs, was filming a new series of the satellite TV series Predators when his bite alarm signalled a vicious take. Mark initially ...

The delux is the same size as the standard but made from a harder insulated material which keeps the bait cooler (internal ice block pockets are fitted). The zip down plastic cover keeps spillage to a minimum and an inner mesh cover prevents the bait from jumping out when the outer lid is open. Battery powered pump included. (Batteries not ...

So tomorrow... I'm faced with a quandary. I'm going pike fishing with a mate to a very good water - my mate's last three fish have been over 20lb. He catches them on livebaits and struggles on deads but I don't really fancy sticking my trebles in the back of an 10oz roach. Something feels odd about it. However, my buddy reckons it's lousy on deads. Do I go and risk a blank by fishing herring and smelt, or throw my cap in the ring and stick on a big 'wriggler' even though it ...

The stripeys, weighing 3lb 10oz and 3lb, were backed up with a brace of ‘twos’ and a number of 1lb-plus fish, all caught ...

The second-biggest zander of all time has been banked this week at a weight of 20lb 2oz. The mighty fish, which falls just 1lb 3oz short of the British record, was taken by Martin Jauncey from the River Severn during a day afloat with fellow predator enthusiast Chris Fowles. It fell to a trotted roach livebait and came on Martin’s ...

Deadbaits wouldn’t be many anglers’ first-choice bait for a big perch, but a lifeless small roach proved irresistible to this impressive Trent stripey weighing 4lb 1oz. The Trent predator was tempted by specimen angler Bryan Culley after experiencing a number of fast, aborted runs while targeting the middle river’s pike population. A switch to lighter tackle resulted in an immediate ...

A seven-year quest for a pike over the magical 20lb barrier ended in success for fanatical angler Jon Perkins when he netted this 26lb 6oz fish from the Hampshire Avon. The New Milton, Hants-based angler eased into his session on the famous Royalty Fishery by landing three double-figure pike, before his last take of the day produced his biggest ever ...
