Vortex Baits

Last, but by no means least is a report from our friend Paul Rudd, and his son Bradley! Having been bitten hard by the barbel bug, it was only a matter of time before a Personal Best was on the cards! This absolute beauty, a real Tidal Trent Torpedo, and C.K.O. barrel munching machine is the very well deserved PB at 13lb 8oz! Massive congratulations Bradley! 👉 https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #vortexbaitsofficial #teamvortex #hydroshrimp #furterpellet #barbel

Our mate @ng15_angler struck early gold as he got stuck in to his new syndicate water! A fine pair of Carp, both from a recent stocking, couldn’t resist the mighty C.K.O. Well done Kerrigan! 👉 https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #carpfishing #ukcarp #carpfishinguk #commoncarp #carp

As always it’s great to see a catch report from our very own @shaneworsley The last casts of the season, combined with the recipe for success that is C.K.O. Boosted Hook Pellets, wrapped in matching Paste, and generous bags of Harry’s Ultra Mix Pellets, brought a superb brace of Barbel, this being the better of the pair! Well done Shane! 👉 https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #vortexbaitsofficial #teamvortex #hydroshrimp #furterpellet #barbel

Our very good mate @ho03_joe made the most of some working away, combining some hard graft, with some crafty carping! Putting our C.K.O. Cocoons to great effect with this superb Mirror, and topping it with this gorgeous 28lb Common! Theres something about that cocoon shape, inspired by nature, that just brings a more confident bite! Well done Joe! 👉 https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #carpfishing #ukcarp #carpfishinguk #commoncarp #vortexbaitsofficial

Great to see our mate @nottinghamforest28 getting his share of the Trent treasure. One of Nottingham Anglers Associations very hard working bailiffs, Jason and crew keep their stretch of the Trent in tip top condition, much like these superb Barbel. Jason came to us a few seasons ago now, with a bait idea, Nigel of course put on his chef hat and crafted the amazing “Monty’s Magic” and the rest was history! This fantastic bait delivers fish after fish! Well done Jason! 👉 https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #vortexbaitsofficial #teamvortex #hydroshrimp #furterpellet #rivertrent

Our man on the Trent, Paul Bowen made the most of the final day of the season, the tidal Trent giving up another of her treasures! The mighty C.K.O. that Hail Mary of baits doing the business, when the going gets tough, the C.K.O. gets things going! Well done Paul! Now for some decorating! 👉 https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #vortexbaitsofficial #teamvortex #hydroshrimp #furterpellet #rivertrent

Happy Friday everyone! While we quietly lament the Close Season, we have some catch reports that showcase the final golden days, and also some of the fine Carp reports that we will be seeing more of whilst we await the glorious 16th once more! Starting off nicely with our man on the Ribble @andyriley1969 and the final casts of his season! These absolutely beauties, future monsters for sure and reassurance that the next generation is thriving, were all of a similar 5lb bracket and all couldn’t resist the 8mm Frankfurter Spice & Red Salmon Boosted Hook Pellets! A superb finish Andy! 👉 https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #vortexbaitsofficial #teamvortex #hydroshrimp #furterpellet #riverribble

Last but not least, and here with the “Beast” is our bestie @bruce_carpfishing This absolute unit (the fish) was Bruce’s first 30 of the season, and at 31lb 12oz, the resident wildcat of the lake was in superb condition too! Our Coconut Supreme Wafter, fished over matching crumbed bottom baits doing the trick! Nicely done Bruce! 👉 https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #carpfishing #ukcarp #carpfishinguk #commoncarp #vortexbaitsofficial

It’s been great to see so many carp coming out of our own private members water, and from so many members too! These superb fish coming to our good mate @siwood81 The very unique “Pirate” our one eyed, and 2-tone Common is a very rare visitor to the bank, and always gives a very good account of itself! The stunning Linear was one of a recent stocking of very special fish in November and has definitely been putting on the beef, hitting just shy of 30lb! The amazing B.P.T. boilies doing the trick again! Nicely done Si! 👉 https://vortexbaits.com 👈 #carpfishing #ukcarp #carpfishinguk #commoncarp #carp
