Just five hours into his first trip testing a new Solar Chilli Club bait, Colin Gray's first take on the new bait resulted in this 36lb-plus mirror. Having picked up his test batch from Solar HQ on Monday evening, Colin headed straight to Darenth Big Lake where he presented an 18mm bottom bait over 1kg of matching freebies at 90 yards. With the first take coming just a few hours later and resulting in this mid-thirty, the Solar team member packed up early Tuesday morning to head back to work with a large smile on his face.

Hopefully excess water is now a thing of the past!

Secondly, we have just had a delivery of new fish.
