Young Alfie Snow is still getting amongst the fish, with this brace of carp coming on a recent trip with his dad Lee.
Using his usual set up of GTHD main line, Target SpeciSkin hook link and Target Barbel hooks, the carp of 24lb 1oz and 31lb 13oz took a liking to his boilie and corn baits.
Nice one Alfie.

Gardner Target back Lee Snow, continued his run of big fish from the 160 acre pit he's been targetting. Using size 10 Target Barbel hooks, Target SpeciSkin hooklinks, and GTHD main line, Lee caught four double figure bream, topped by this brace of 11lb 15oz and 13lb 11oz, which took a liking to his corn and caster hookbaits.
Lovely as usual Lee.

Our good friend Lars Christensen has been chasing the big Danish bream again, and recently caught this stunning dark one of 14lb 12oz. Lars used Gardner GTHD main line, 15lb Target SpeciSkin hooklink and one of our ever reliable Target Barbel hooks. This was topped with fake corn and a PVA stick at range, over a bed of krill and halibut pellets, crushed bloodworm boilies, sweetcorn, h**p and maggots, all heavily glugged in molasses.
Lovely job Lars.

Dai Gribble has been doing what Dai Gribble does best again, and has caught another double figure tench, this one coming in at an excellent 10lb 3oz. Dai yet again used his favourite worm kebab rigs on a size 8 Target Barbel hook, 15lb SpeciSkin and GTHD main line, a set up he has 100% confidence in for all his tench fishing.
Definitely worth a watch, as will the one with Simon Daley πππ»

With June now upon us, and the new river season very nearly here, what better time to stock up on some of the excellent Target Specimen range to get you going on the flowing waters. From our folding pan nets, and extending net handles, to our Barbel hook, pellet bands and run rigs etc, Target Specimen has got it all covered.

Nice one Dai.
