Incredible milestone for Solar Tackle Boss. Martin Locke has just returned from a session at Rainbow Lake that saw him surpass an incredible milestone in angling achievement In the first week of a two-week trip, the Solar Tackle boss landed a 58lb mirror, which was his 100th fifty. Amazingly, the sparsely-scaled, 58lb mirror was the first carp that Martin caught from Rainbow on his first trip in November 2004 at a weight of 41lb. As far as we know, this feat has only been achieved by one other angler, Paul Hunt, who landed his 100th fifty a couple of years ago.

Monster smashes lake recordAt a whopping 47lb 15oz this is a new lake record for the Shallow Pit at the famous St Ives Lakes in Cambridgshire. Caught by angler Steve Bull, the fish, known as Colin, is an infrequent visitor to the bank, but this time slipped up to a combination of a Denham Baits Element pop-up fished over prototype pellets form the same bait company. Steve captured the monster that could well hit 50lb in the near future on his first trip to the water since early summer. .
