On an overnighter at the Waesmeer syndicate in Belgium, Solar Tackle team member Ignace De Roeck has landed a brace of 30lb+ mirrors. Following his incredible sessions on his Belgian target water recently using the new TunaMino test baits, Ignace nicked a quick night on the bank using the same baits. With fishing on the Waesmeer syndicate being difficult in the weeks before Ignace’s trip, expectations weren’t particularly high, but presenting a TunaMino hook bait with a size 6 Stronghold 101 hook over a bed of matching, glugged freebies Ignace landed mirrors of 34lb and 31lb. .

Following Solar Tackle team member Ignace De Roeck’s incredible 24-hour session last week (as reported in a previous e-mail) in which he landed 10 carp from a tough water, including two mid forties and a 39lb mirror, he’s only gone and bettered it! Heading back to the same 4-hectare syndicate water in Flanders, Belgium, this time the experienced big-carp angler landed 15 carp from 18 takes, which saw 5 thirties and a forty grace his unhooking mat, once again all coming during a 24-hour trip. As with his previous session, the Belgian angler fished over a bed of Solar's new TunaMino test baits using a snowman hook bait and landed carp of 39lb 2oz, 38lb, 41lb 8oz, 35lb and a couple of other low thirties too. “It was hectic, I could barely eat or sleep for the whole trip,” explained Ignace. “I even had two double takes, and when the carp were on the mat the TunaMino bait was being vented everywhere.
