All the latest fishing news from the Environment Agency including fishing days for the family, the first conviction for body worn cameras and details on how far your fishing licence money goes.

Environment Agency fishing newsSpring into fishing

Spring Into Fishing with free, fun and friendly activity days for families this March. The events, run by the Angling Trust and supported by the Environment Agency, take place all across the country. They are a great way to get everyone out doing something different and will help kids learn new skills outdoors – best of all it won’t cost you a penny.

First conviction for body worn cameras

Body worn camera footage captured by Environment Agency officers on patrol has been used to support a conviction for the first time.

An Environment Agency spokesperson commented,
“Our officers are doing an important job to ensure people are fishing legally and taking action against those that aren’t. I hope this serves as a warning to others that their actions are being recorded and will be used in future court proceedings.”

Make sure your licence is up to date before you go fishing. GOV.UK is the only site you need.

How far does your fishing licence money go?

Last financial year the EA worked with 185 partners, investing £3.2 million and attracting £2.7 million of additional investment to deliver 315 fisheries improvement projects. They stocked almost 400,000 coarse fish, investigated nearly 600 fisheries incidents and opened up access for fish to over 1,200 km of river.

To find out more about the work The Environment Agency do read their annual fisheries report. Your licence money funds all our fisheries work – remember to check your licence expiry date before you buy a new one.

Details of Britain’s biggest canal angling competition have been announced with the 2018 Canal Pairs Championship once again coming to the nations waterways. Organised by the charity, the Canal & River Trust in partnership with the Angling Trust, the Championship’s regional qualifying heats are being held in Wales, Scotland and Ireland as well as thirteen heats across England.

Canal and River Trust fishing newsCompetitors will score points based on the weight of fish they catch with up to six pairs in each heat - dependent on entries per heat - going through to the grand final on Saturday 20 October 2018. The final will be held at Stafford with pegs on both the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal and Trent & Mersey Canal. The National Junior Canal Championship will also take place on the same day on the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal.

Applications for tickets will open in the New Year via the Angling Trust’s online booking system www.anglingtrustevents.net at a cost of £40 per pair per qualifier. Further details will be announced in the New Year on how to enter.

The potential grand final prize pot is £16,000, dependent on all sixteen heats selling out – with the prize money split between the top four pairs.

John Ellis, national fisheries and angling manager for the Canal & River Trust said: “Our canals offer fantastic angling, even in the most urban areas. They’re packed with fish, freely accessible and a great place to unwind and clear your mind so we want to inspire more people to give them a go.

“These championships are a really good way of doing just that and are growing in popularity each year. The 2018 event promises to be an exciting one, with anglers across the UK and Ireland invited to show us what they can do.

“We hope to see lots of entries but, if match fishing isn’t your thing, then your local canal still has plenty to offer.”

David Kent, Chair of Angling Trust Competitions said; “This competition goes from strength-to-strength and I think a key reason for this is that new venues are introduced every year thus keeping the event fresh.”

James Lewis, Competitions Development Manager of the Angling Trust commented “It’s great to see canal fishing coming back to the top of the match fishing calendar.  We’ve worked carefully with the Canal & River Trust and local clubs to identify and organise new matches on sections of canal that are going to produce plenty of bites and exceptional matches.”

Exploit the very best secrets instant and nutritional carp baits! Discover secrets of how and why carp pick up baits and how to make them as potently stimulatory on multiple levels internally and externally to maximise your catches big time, for life!

Tim Richardson: Bait Big Fish

Finally find a way to make your baits superior without making big mistakes again and again and taking years in the process; find a short-cut to success to defeat popular readymade boilies! Make them better and cheaper with the right information right now and benefit from 36 years of winning homemade bait making experience!

Let’s begin by making things clear that fish learn by association and that the only point of bait is to get your hook into the mouth of your target fish as fast as possible, without wasting time, money and effort and without feeding fish so you do not satiate them or give them a reference point to sort your hook baits as potential threats! You need every time to give your fish instant reasons to instantly pick up your baits and regard them as a new positive experience unlike any other they have had before! Find out how to do this, not randomly, but actually in detail by design, making winning baits that keep ahead of your fish always!

Even on wild or virgin waters fish very quickly associate particular baits and substances with danger by repeated hooking or capture (many fish are lost or hooked and get off rigs without anglers even realising this!) I know in Canada and the States that the majority who fish for carp use carbohydrate forms of baits, and in making baits base them on carbohydrate forms of ingredients.

In my nearly four decades of making homemade baits I have reached many certain conclusions which I've outlined especially within my ebooks series over the last 10 years of full-time researching testing and writing.

You may have been be bulking your baits out with familiar carbohydrate ingredients or familiar fish meals etc, but found them not producing the fish you really want in size and in numbers! Realise that you need to go far beyond this to achieve truly maximised success, always keep ahead of your fish and catch the biggest, the most experienced and wariest fish and the natural feeders and think differently and do things very differently to produce very different catch results from now on!

The first point I must make is that in my long experience of making homemade baits that defeat popular readymade baits, going back to the time before they even existed, is that carp are most consistently caught on baits massively dominated by soluble protein, (digestible protein content.) Preferably this form of protein bait will be very rich indeed in free form amino acids, peptides, mineralized salts and thus are very easily detectable (as solution) as it has been pre-digested, or hydrolysed or enzyme-treated.

Yes flavours do catch carp and many flavours are energy short cuts that carp exploit instantly, while others are simply messages, making baits more highlighted in the water column. Many solvent-based flavours achieve this purely because they change the hydrogen and oxygen ratio of the water around baits and carp so carp sense a difference, are curious and follow that change and concentration gradient of that attraction message leading them to sampling baits due to these particular attractants and incitants, (which differ from actual true feeding stimulants which induce instant repetitive feeding!)

Some flavours replicate or are part of the energetic break down pathways of substances and thus represent energy short-cuts that carp are genetically programmed by evolution to exploit, even if many such substances actually have no nutritional value whatsoever, but vital energy releasing impacts on a cellular level, which make fish more energy-efficient.

But you can base your baits on addictive substances, bio-actively potent flavour components, certain vital salts and highly refined proteins, most especially which release a profile of exceptionally stimulating amino acids combinations, naturally, improved and enhanced solubility and digestibility utilising palatability enhancers, sweeteners etc make baits massively more successful.

Part of the trick is choosing exactly how to design the core of your baits and then keep on changing other aspects which change the superficial form, experience, taste, smell and other features and characteristics of the bait.

Within this such aspects as mineralized salts, amino acids combinations, natural and supplementary, attractants and feeding stimulants substances, including examples such as organic acids, alcohols, esters, bio-active substances, addictive peptides sources, nucleotide and nucleoside sources.

Others include forms of omega oils and betaines amines and bases sources, vitamins source, sugars sources, unusual salts and activating substances of multiple forms and palatants, enhancers of many kinds. Flavours and diverse incitants and attractant solvent substances etc can all be exploited to really powerful levels within refinements and optimization of design and application and also within your bait processing. But it takes experience and continual testing to truly optimise combinations and levels!

You can make your baits massively more detectable, beyond any normal conventional rolled homemade or readymade boilies and extruded heated baits, limited by standard egg, carbohydrate and boiling methods (which can seriously reduce performance potential of your baits!) Even rolling baits produces standard density baits which makes sorting of hook baits massively easier for wary carp.

I can show you hugely more successful methods and processes which make your baits superior and uniquely different, which will not merely catch loads more big fish, but hook those rarely-caught fish and natural feeding fish, all by specifics of purposeful accurate, experience-proven design!

 

I now reveal how to improve your homemade baits most directly, (how I do it, and why,) in my one to one personal bait tuitions; based on so many decades of testing and refining of levels, combinations and comparative analysis to find optimum combinations for naturally-induced most powerful feeding responses.

You just keep changing the aspects, to always keep ahead of your fish. Also, how to design such truly optimised baits is within my ebooks series, so well proven world wide, in international carp fishing matches, virgin waters, pressured lakes and rivers, even catching many more fish in Australia, South Africa, Scandinavia, Asia and of course in the states and Canada too.

For the best proven fastest short-cut to bait success my series of world class bait making 3 bait secrets ebooks on my dedicated site is the starting point to save you years and years of effort and help you make winning baits and avoid continually making mistakes! I recommend starting by reading my Big carp and catfish flavours and feeding triggers ebook. Follow this with Big carp bait secrets and then big carp and catfish bait secrets.

These are hand on heart truly proven to be the fastest route to success in every country they are read and applied in, for beginners and experienced anglers and bait makers. They will save you decades of making mistakes and catching poor results again and again; using these ebooks all together will dramatically uniquely change and improve your catches, for life!

I exploit catfish sensitivity principles within my carp baits as this increases true feeding stimulation hugely compared to conventional bait design theories, and culminated in me catching the 2 biggest catfish in the UK and hooking the world record carp back in 2006.
I’ve been teaching bait courses one to one in intensive 1 day personalized course formats for the past 5 years for beginners to expert levels and this has led me to produce a written and pictures-emphasised product which will empower anglers of every level to make world class homemade baits and for that matter, world class readymade baits!

More and more anglers in the UK and around the world are making their very own secret carp baits. But some baits and potent ingredients additives liquid foods and flavours, palatants and enhancers and sweeteners are far more successful than others! Start off right and get big carp results instantly. Get the very best information straight away by reading on right now!

Tim Richardson: Bait Big Fish

Many of the most successful carp baits in the history of carp fishing are very simple. Among them are bread, sweetcorn, hemp seed worms, maggots and luncheon meat. But to make a paste or dough bait or boiled bait requires some knowledge of carp and how they work. To be most successful it is not merely a matter of choosing ingredients! To choose the right combinations and levels of substances requires knowledge, testing and experience and I have about 37 years of this.

Sweet corn is a bait which Fred J. Taylor brought back from the States in the sixties and he was one of the circle of pioneering carp anglers fishing Redmire pool alongside Richard walker at its peak! What Fred perhaps missed in the function of sweetcorn was a little secret regarding how baits actually work. Carp baits work by reacting with water. Sweetcorn is bound up in an insoluble coating. This limiting situation is just the same as with egg-sealed boilies, until time passes by and water eventually solvates the egg!

A successful carp bait must by definition be soluble or at least create a difference in the water! Paste baits and boilies produce a biochemical difference fish can detect and home in on by following a concentration gradient. The more this concentrated solution is composed of truly feed-stimulatory substances which have enhanced palatability, the higher possibility a good number of carp will mouth test your baits.

Whenever carp actually mouth test baits in the back of their mouth you are maximizing the chances of getting your hook bait into the mouth in order to hook your fish and catch it! The combination of sugars and other palatability factors within sweetcorn or indeed in tiger nuts (or chufas,) represent a very simple example of a beginner carp bait. The way to maximise the detection of a bait sealed in an insoluble coating as with sweetcorn, or even in the skin of tiger nuts is to crush the individual seeds or corms to expose the more soluble components to water impregnation. This is one huge reason why creamed corn enhanced with milk and sugar and sweetener-enhanced crushed tiger nuts are such effective components in ground baits, particle mixtures and boilie and past baits!

There are many ways to begin thinking about making homemade carp baits and yet the first step and best way is to create something which is very soluble and truly triggers feeding! The second step is to consider how to bind into a solid object that which is soluble and will trigger feeding. The third step is having chosen binding ingredient or other substance, is to form a paste or dough. The fourth step is to further process the bait, or use it as paste or cook it, by low temperature baking, or fast-steaming, to create resilient boilies.

I absolutely recommend avoiding using eggs as binding agents. I also totally recommend avoiding boiling your baits at all costs! Boiling dough or paste baits actually does more harm than good and literally ravages the great percentage of water-reactive and most volatile substances straight out of your bait even before it hits your fishing lake, thus drastically reducing your chances of triggering feeding best and catching fish! Just because a method has been used by many anglers for years does not make it the best way and it is merely a practical method that makes commercial bait makers money using boilie extruding and rolling machines! I can assure you in terms of catch results, that fast steaming and low temperature baking of baits is stupendously superior to boiling baits to create boilies!

So what kinds of ingredients and liquids can be chosen to create a beginner bait? The best ingredients must ideally include a high density of true feeding triggers. But unfortunately most recipes you will see actually are not high in true feeding triggers at all and are in fact very low in them! So what do you need to think about in your choices of ingredients? A very good first step is to consider high protein ingredients which are soluble or contain a high percentage of water-soluble component.

Until fish meals become so scare due to over-fishing, or so pricey that they are prohibitive, then there is no closer approximation to what nutritionally triggers carp in terms of their basic needs. For this reason a good fish meal with a high protein content and high water-solubility is a really sound starting point that will trigger feeding. In fact you could almost use such fish meals just with water and expect to achieve instant success, but fish meals tend to break down very fast and to be non-binding! You might choose a could of binders and milk powder such as Vitamealo or Lamlac will create a soft soluble bait, especially when used alongside less soluble binders such as semolina and soya flour.

Even beginner boilies and pastes ideally must be high in true feeding triggers which dominate the bait instead of being dominated by carbohydrate binders. I mostly avoid carbohydrate binders anyway, but let’s say you’re just starting out, so keeping things simple helps! To improve the palatability stimulation over all of any baits which contain carbohydrate binders it is very sensible and more productive to include a mineral and vitamin source suitable for cold water fish. Mineral and vitamin supplements can come from many sources as indeed can flavours and liquid protein complexes and oils which can all be used and combined.

My advice is to use a low level of oil (for example 10 milliliters per kilogram of base mix of mixed nut oil,) and in the beginning use very high levels of protein liquid complex and a moderate level of flavour. Hook baits can possibly contain high levels of flavours or combinations of flavours and other flavour components. In starting out, in most baits using fish meals and carbohydrates, if you use about a 60 percent fishmeal to 40 percent milk and soya and semolina or other binders. Then the baits should form a successful paste which will last for several hours immersion.

Use about 20 grams per kilogram of chilli or cayenne powder and at least 50 grams of Belachan powder as these have significant functional external and internal impacts in helping baits be detected, triggering protein feeding and assisting in baits being hydrated better and digested faster, especially using wheat germ in the mix. If you want a firmer bait I’d consider using a percentage of maize meal which firms up soft milk powders.

Many fish meals go hard anyway due to the percentage of fish bone and insoluble material they contain!) The method is simple; simply mix your powder ingredients together, mix your liquid blend and add your powders gradually to your liquids in a container. Form a firm paste and then form individual baits!

You can roll baits by hand or bait rolling table and extrusion guns. Personally I do not bother to make my baits round since carp very easily sort hook baits from round bait shapes! I aim to make all baits unique individual sizes and shapes! To create boilies, simply fast steam your baits (just as you would vegetables,) or use low temperature baking instead to create baits which last longer in water and are more resilient to pest fish species than pastes.

Personally I recommend that you do not heat all your homemade baits. Just heat a small number of hook baits and use paste and heated baits and paste on your rig all together. (This is the way I hooked the world record carp back in 2006!) Remember that this is merely a beginner bait and that though it is a sound and proven foundation, you will absolutely need to improve the design very drastically to actually maximise bait function and impacts to maximise your catches of numbers of fish and of wary big fish.

My goal for the past 12 years full-time in homemade bait testing research teaching consulting and writing has been to discover the truth about how to achieve actual intraoral feeding which is the exact form which promotes the feeding mouth movements and inflows of water that bring the bait to the back of the mouth to be tested. It is this which will truly maximise your catch rate as it means your rig spends most time being tested deep within the mouth giving your rig maximum time and chances to take a hold.

In reality carp will test fishing baits whether boilies, paste baits pellets mostly by external means using receptors on fins, belly, flanks, face, tail, lateral line, barbels and lips. Wherever fish are under fishing pressure and are constantly exposed to anglers baits and hooks then the least testing of all will be actual mouthing of baits where the bait is taken back in the mouth for further testing. This is the Holy Grail of bait and a key aspect of what I teach in my personal intensive one to one courses and in my upcoming written and pictorial course for beginners to expert levels.

I’ve been teaching bait courses one to one in intensive 1 day personalized course formats for the past 5 years for beginners to expert levels and this has led me to produce a written and pictures-emphasised product which will empower anglers of every level to make world class homemade baits and for that matter, world class readymade baits!

The Angling Trust has announced that England will host the 11th FIPS-ed Carnivorous Artificial Bait Boat Angling Championships in 2018. The competition will head to the British Isles for the second time in three years following the successful 2016 world championship which was held in Ireland.

Carnivorous Artificial Bait Boat Angling Championships in 2018The four day event will be held on Rutland Water from Thursday 11th to Sunday 14th October and it is expected that as many as 20 nations could head to the England to compete in this prestigious lure angling competition.

The competition has been dominated by Eastern European nations in recent years, world number one ranked Ukraine winning three world titles, Lithuania winning one world title and most recently, Romania were crowned world champions in 2017. Italy are the only central European team to record a win back in 2013 however, with the imminent appointment of a new manager, Team England will be hopeful of breaking the dominance and achieving a good result on their home water.

Competitions& Performance Manager for the Angling Trust Ben Thompson said “We are absolutely delighted to be hosting such a prestigious event, having the World Championships in England presents a wonderful opportunity to showcase one of the fastest growing areas of our sport, we have some excellent predator fishing in this country and Rutland will provide a fantastic challenge for all of the participants. Rutland holds a good head of predator species with pike exceeding 15kg, zander to 5kg and perch to 1.5kg which is sure to provide a fascinating competition.”

“We are in the process of creating an organising committee and we will be recruiting a large number of volunteers to act as stewards for the event and welcome anyone with a passion for lure angling and an interest to get involved to come forward."

Interested parties should forward an expression of interest to Angling Trust via an email HERE

"This international competition will provide anglers in England with the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the very best predator anglers in the world, an opportunity not to be missed.”

One of Temple's most sort after fish NEMO has recently been caught at a stunning 42lbs 15oz at Bury Hill Fisheries in Surrey.

Bury Hill Fisheries fishing newsFollowing is Karl Jansen's account following the capture of Nemo at 42lbs 15oz.

"I arrived at Bury Hill Saturday evening 30th for a 48hr session. I originally set up in swim 11 as a number of fish had been showing. On Sunday morning Mark Constable moved from swim 9, so I decided to move despite the rain.
On Sunday afternoon I had a run on my left hand rod, after about a 10 or 15 minute battle, I could not believe what I had in the net, it was NEMO... As I was unhooking Nemo bailiff Sam Sawyers walked around the corner and as soon as he saw what I had caught his jaw hit the floor as the scales went past the magical 40lb mark stopping at 42lbs15oz, a new pb and my first UK 40.

After struggling most of this year on Temple and only catching my first fish three weeks ago, I still couldn't believe that I had Nemo in the net, this was only my fifth fish this year!
I finished my session with a 20lb 1oz common.

I caught both fish on a 16mm water size 4 MCF Grenville Claw hook tied to a 6 inch Seaguar ace hard fluorocarbon."

Well done Karl, good fishing...

A prestigious national competition aimed at attracting a new generation of anglers onto the nation’s historic canals is coming to the East Midlands for the first time this year.

Angling Trust fishing news

The National Junior Canal Championship, organised by the Canal & River Trust and the Angling Trust, aims to show young anglers how good the nation’s canals can be whilst giving them the chance to show off their skills.

The competition is free to enter and open to anyone aged between 10 and 16 inclusive with the winner taking home the top trophy and being crowned national champion. 

The match is taking place on 21 October on the Erewash Canal at Long Eaton.

The youngsters will be able to gain inspiration from some of the best anglers in the country as the National Canal Pairs Championship is also taking place on the canal on the same day.

John Ellis, national fisheries & angling manager for the Canal & River Trust said; “As a charity we really want to see more people, especially youngsters, having a go at angling on their local canal and so we’re delighted to welcome the Junior Canal Championships to the East Midlands this year.

“The Erewash Canal is great for anglers, particularly youngsters, as it’s easily accessible, low cost and full of fish so where better for them to hone their skills. There’s nothing quite like fishing on your local canal or river for helping you slow down and get in touch with nature.

“With some of the country’s best senior anglers also competing on that day, it promises to be a fantastic event.”

David Kent, National Chair of Competitions at the Angling Trust, said; “We all have a responsibility to try and secure the future of angling and, clearly, one of the priorities is to do everything possible to encourage youngsters to take up the sport. Most youngsters have a competitive edge so good, well-run competitions with plenty of prizes such as this event are therefore vital.”

To enter the competition contact Sandra Johnson, Competitions Manager for the Angling Trust on 0115 8224519 or sandra.johnson@anglingtrust.net. Entries must be received by Friday 6 October 2017.
