How to mix a carp Method feeder mix

Method feeder fishing groundbaits tend to attract the average stamp of carp in any commercial stillwater. Why? Simply because the carp tend to have seen them all before, smelt them all before, and have tasted them all before.

So, in order to attract and catch the much bigger carp that might be swimming around the lake, something extra special has to be created that will draw the attentions of the bigger fish.

And that's exactly what Grant Albutt has created - a simply brilliant Method mix that is created from The Cell boilies and boilie-making ingredients.

It's certainly not a cheap Method mix to create, but having seen this in action, it is like a magnet to all the bigger fish in the water.

It is, quite frankly, devastating!

Des Shipp's Life in Angling

A year ago Des Shipp was facing the daily grind that most of us have, sitting on his forklift truck and putting in a shift to put bread on the table while preparing for another weekend of fishing at the very highest level.

How to catch big fish on canals

Many anglers avoid canals thinking they're all about tiny fish, delicate rigs and small baits. While this might be the case on some of them, there are many stretches, like the Clayhanger on Walsall's Daw End Canal -- a branch of the Wyrley and Essington - where this couldn't be further from the truth. On this canal you have to beef up your gear or face losing it. Angling Times met up with Shakespeare Superteam matchman, Darren Massey, on the towpath of this relatively unknown waterway, to discover why.
