Red Bull rolls on and on and on...
17-05-2012
Our German cosultant Bastian Reetz is on fire !! he landed two very good carps on he's last session, here we have the first beauty of 15.8kg, the big one to follow soon !!
Check out here as foolow Bastian's report :
Spawning time can be a tricky period but with a little luck you can hold the male fish during colder weather periods still on your baits. And that´s what I do at the moment:
This morning started quite strange as I got around dawn a few bleeps and after a short fight I landed a 6kg Asp (!) on my 24mm Red Bull Readymade hookbait. It seems that even predators are now after my bait :-)
After checking the hook and recasting the rod it took only ten minutes after the right hand rod in 3m depth was away again. 20 minutes later I had the second biggest fish of the lake on the bank - exactly 20kg. The first forty of the year. And just a few hours later another thirty was landed. Red Bull rolls on and on.... Just a question of time when the big female - my target fish for 2012 will be caught on the Red Bulls. Cheers, Bastian

Bastian's season is started !!

Red Bull on the roll !!
This spring on my local waters is quite unbelieveable! More than 40 fish fish fell on my Red Bull Boilies (homerolled and Ready Mades) and it is still only the beginning of May! Due to the slow but steady rising temperatures of the last six weeks prebaiting paid of and not only the undeep parts showed results: Because of the warm and strong spring winds of the last weeks there were always enough warm water in the deeper water body. Perfect conditions for steady prebaiting with quality (DD) bait! And this tactic paid of - many twenties and thirties, all hooked on the supersharp C4 hooks in size 6 fished on simple monofilament hooklinks with a braided hair. Now spawning will not be that far away, but after that I will put in my Red Bull wonderballs again!

04-05-2012
fresh news from Italian team member Kevin Zanetti ! Kevin was out in a big natural lake for a week session, due to constantly weather changement Kevin has been forced to change spot quite often as the big school of carps was moving every da...y from shallow to deep waters. After 3 days with no activity at all Kevin finally hit gold, landing 8 carp with excellent average size up to 16.5kg. It has been a very good test for the new C2 10ft rods, all the carp was caught on Prologic Black Squid 24-20mm snow man rigged on C4 hooks size 1 |

massive springtime common for Matteo
30-04-2012
Our Italian consultant Matteo Terzi was out fishing a big natural lake on the last days and looks like he had some good time !! Here as follow the full story we have received from Matteo :
"Despite weather forecast was not good at all i decided to try a couple of night in a big lake in the north of Italy. Just in time to reach the spot and a heavy rain started together with a strong wind. It has been a good test for my New Green Deluxe bivvy, 36 hours of wind and rain and no problem at all !! Fishing was really hard, the spot i decided to fish was really far away from the shore and i have to place all my rigs from 350m to 420m, near by a long edge where the depth was rising from 5-6m to 3m.
Only the second night the weather started to change, no more rain and also the wind was not blowing so hard anymore. In the early morning my green WUSB alarm started to scream like a crazy and in a blink of an eye i was in my rubber boat fighting a powerfull fish on the other side of the line with my new C3 12ft 3.50lbs. It has been an incredible fight, the fish was incredibly strong, but at the end i was smiling in front of the camera with an amazing 23.5kg common carp !! The winning rig was a snow man with 20mm Kiwi Crustacean and 20mm Freshwater Snail pop up on Prologic C4 size 2 hook. "
Good job Matteo !

Great session in France for Rik Johnson
27-04-2012
Our UK consultant Rik Johnson is back after a week session at Les Quis lake in France, despite the weather condition was not perfect he manage to land 60 carp in a week to 47lbs !! Here as follow the full story from Rik : "We arrived at Les Quis complex in France April 14th 2012
Prior to arriving I had been watching the weather reports for the past two weeks hoping for a change, No such luck!
Highs of 11 degrees , lows of -1 Degrees with Cold blustery Easterly winds and RAIN!
Not what i wanted for a week long session in France.
The party the week before us had struggled, from information gathered from anglers on that trip the fish were still in there winter haunts , holding up under over hanging trees and snags with very few fish being caught in open water.
With this in mind i needed a good draw for a tree lined peg. My history of having a good draw is not good in fact its rubbish. Well lady luck did not shine on me this year either.I pulled out number 15 out of 18, one by one i watched as all the pegs a fancied got taken. Could it get any worse! one of the pegs left to be picked was one i did well out of last year, i really wanted to fish i different peg but decided to play it safe and hoped with the information i had of this peg it would stand me in good stead.So setting up on the long lake and choosing to fish a peg called the "Gate" i sat for about two hours scanning the water for any signs of life. It looked Dead! not even any small fish , no bubbles , no Color nothing. For the next hour i went about setting up camp. Once done and with a warm mug of tea in hand i sat pondering about why people are reluctant to fish the "Gate".Answer - Because its a Casters peg! most swims on the complex are about 50 to 60 yrds across to the far bank were as the "Gate" is about 120 to 130yrds to the far tree lined margin. So i decided to go for a walk around the lake and see if i could spot any fish hugging the trees on the far margin.There they were, sheltering from the eliments, i watched in amazement as these large grey shadows slowy crused up and down the marginal shelf. I picked out three likely looking spots in between some large over hanging willows.I baited the spots with about 30 baits and a hand full of crush boilies.Returning to my peg i made a series of casts which was made tricky with the eastly cross winds. Once in to the swing of things and happy i was on the mark , I slipped the line behind the clips on the Okuma Intergrator Big pit reels and marked the 20lb XLNT with some pole elastic so i would be able to hit the same spot time after time. The Bait i was using was a new prototype bait from DD Flavoured with Belachan, So not taking any chances i was going to test it against the bait we set the Complex Record on Last year. Rigs i was using are constructed from 25lb Reptilian a coated braid which is stripped back about a inch from the hook and the total lenght is about 30cm. I like using long rigs for large fish as i believe it allows better moment of the rig before hooking.I fished snow man style baits tipped with yellow fluo hi vis pop ups on all rods. The Afternoon soon disapeared into Dusk and then came my first run and very scrappy Mirror Carp of 20lb. I recast the rod and 45mins later another fish slightly bigger 23lb , Talk about a confidence boost and they were caught using the new bait.
I caught steady thro the night into the morning, With every 2/3 fish i walked round the lake to rebait the spots with two handfuls of bait each time. After 9.00 am they seam to stop feeding , probably trying to get warm and make the most of the sun when it broke through the rain clouds. I changed my sleeping pattern to maximise being awake at feeding times, I also tried another spot with a large bed of bait , but this did not produce. So every 2/3 fish i had the long walk around the lake to bait up again. The golden rule of fishing "Bait little and often" hard work some times but if you want the rewards you have to work at it.
Many anglers on our trip struggled but with a lot of will power and hard work and a quality bait i managed to catch 60 fish 5 over 40lb the biggest being 47lb 12oz ( I also had a epic 2hrs battle with 6ft Catfish) for the week being second to top rod. Not bad from a peg that no one wanted to fish. Here is my catch report - 20,23,15,27,26,34,30,30,18,37,27,31,29,35,23,43,40,27,27,39,37,30,35,29,27,37,24,30,24,31,22,41,22,28,40,36,28,22,27,27,47,37,27,26, (6ft catfish est-130) ,34,22,26,39,40,27,29,23,41,27,27,22,18,20,29.
Good luck and all the Best Rik Johnson.

springtime biggie for Luca
24-04-2012
This spring time seems to be a very good period for our Prologic Italian Team member Luca Tribuzio. Luca went on a big natural lake for a 2 night session, despite the temperature of the water still a bit cold Luca have fished in a wide shallow area with average depth of 2 meters near a drop off. Prebaiting with mixed readymades Crustacean Belachan and Kiwi Crustacean, in 2 night Luca landed 6 carp all between 10 and 14kg, topped in a long and hard fighting 18kg common carp. Well done Luca !! |

one more biggie for Willy
06-04-2012
Willy is on fire !! another amazing 19kg commom carp caught on the last days from Italian Prologic consultant Williams Baccolini. Again, Prologic DD Bait readymade did the tricks, this time 24mm Crustacean & Belachan snow man rigged on a C3... size 1 hook.
Fishing in shallow water has been the right choice, as a matter of fact this carp was caught while feeding in the early morning in less than one meter of depth in a rocky area near by some old sunk trees. |

French succes for Mick
28-03-2012
UK prologic consultant Mick Turville sent us an very nice report from he's last trip to France : "At arriving at Abbey lakes early Saturday morning and awaiting to get signed for the week ahead with the weather not looking good with easterly’s blowing in there was some cold nights ahead, but with this in mind i drove around my home for the week watching and waiting for something to show its head a...nd after very little time this happened, crashing and rolling close in to about 50 yards things looked very promising quietly setting up and casting out 3 solid pva bags where I had seen fish showing I sat in anticipation waiting for something to happen, in the afternoon I reeled in with no action and decided to get the marker rod out and find out what I had in front of me I found very little features with a lot of weed with small pockets of clear areas that were hard, clearly feeding spots for the carp, putting quite a bit of bait out on 2 rods and 1 on a single hi viz bait the traps were set for the night!! But no carp were seen through the night only thing was getting around the crayfish which had ago on every bait you throw at them and the trend continued up to Wednesday when a move was on the cards to the other end of the lake were the fish were showing in numbers, early Thursday morning showed some movement on the middle rod I lifted into what became a fantastic battle up and down the margin until it rolled over the net, she went 47lb 10oz on the scales a new PB I was over joyed, and to say the hook hold from the Prologic C2 longshank was epic and clearly not coming out! The only way I got round the crayfish was to fish plastic hook baits over a lot of bait. that was 1 of only a few fish caught that week, every night was down to -3 degrees with freezing fog you could hear the carp crashing but they could not be seen, (sly Buggers) and in whole the week was made up with just one decent capture to remember! I will return soon for a rematch"
Congratulations Mick !! |
