Big Jamie, one of Clint Elliot’s professional team of staff (not to be messed with!), booms out to me that the carp will start feeding well again if the temperature goes up a degree or two. In fact, one angler drawn on Sycamore (22 pegs) in a ‘silver fish match’, landed 22 carp but only […]

Environment Agency bailiff (in his day job) and top-class angler, Chris Ponsford, points anglers towards the BAA Eardiston stretch off the A443 out of Worcester, where the swims along by the Mill will greet those owning float rods. Pick out the spots in the faster and shallower water if the river is running clear and […]

Graham and match ace Pete Rice are in total control of the on-site tackle shop (tel: 01926 842188), and with Pete’s results in the matches, I guess we’d better listen-up here at Midland Angler! House Pool 1 (34 pegs) is stuffed with F1s and pole fished at 9 metres will account for these, plus bream […]

Fishery manager Mal Watson (tel: 07966 890086) informs me that new ‘stockies’ (in the form of carp from 6oz to 5lb) will feed throughout these cold months and they want grub so try warming your ‘pinkies’ up! Bronze, red and white maggots will all be gratefully received, along with a few micro pellets, and the […]

Bridge Pool (80 pegs) is full of silver fish that will respond to maggots and pinkies, but, if anglers want to invest in a ‘match pack’ of bloodworm and joker, then a bit-a-chuck is guaranteed when pole fishing (order from your local tackle shop in advance). Many pleasure anglers are frightened to use the ‘little […]

Risby Lakes, Folly, 23 pegsSaturday 3rd December’05, NEGAS Winter League, (round 4) It was one of those strange days when the resident carp decided it was either too cold to feed or maybe they just couldn’t be bothered to as only one small stockie was landed throughout the entire match. However, rumour has it that […]
