CocaCola, Coors and Walls add life to new festivalsWEST Country bagging Mecca White Acres is celebrating winning festival sponsorship from three major non-angling companies.In an eye-opening development, internationally recognised brands CocaCola, Coors and Walls have stepped in to back events this summer, and I understand that more similar deals are in the pipeline. Each firm […]

Wednesdays match was transferred to the Cavendish lake  because of the Holmedale being froze, fishing in holes in the ice Dave Madin made the result look like a summer result fishing pole and pellet at peg 7 he had 23 skimmers to 1lb for a total of 16lb 9oz. In 2nd and at the next peg Pete […]

‘Hemp Head’ and Leicester Sensas man, Pete Jayes, has got his lobworms in a twist this month … painful! Some big chub play with the trees on the far bank at Milton Ferry, but when there is a touch of pace and colour on the river, they will venture out from their sanctuary. Straight lead […]

Evesham match ace, Brian Bennett, (and now River Severn bagger!) can’t get away from ‘The Theatre’ length at this time of year, as this stretch is stacked-up with quality roach, and while Brian recommends plenty of tumeric covered maggots fished under either stick float or waggler, I find myself leaning towards breadpunch and liquidized feed […]

Maver boss Phil Briscoe tells me his stretch of the river at Stourport has been fishing really well and doesn’t expect any let up in sport. Bronze maggot on the float for chub and roach, along with a blockend feeder filled with Dynamite Baits Swimstim green pellets and a few caster and maggots, for barbel […]

Fishery manager and top match ace, Mal Watson, who now fishes for Daiwa Gordon League, thinks that chopped worm on the pole will start to be a major player, especially when we enter the month of March. Bank Pool (26 pegs) holds plenty of carp and chub, and the resident skimmers and big perch have […]

Moat Pool (180 pegs) will receive a stocking of at least half-a-ton of carp from 1 kilo to 1½ kilos at the end of February, and as these are new fish, they’ll be hungry and take any bait you like to chuck at them! Stockies to 1lb are feeding well on Reed (47) and Hallcroft’s […]

Graham, who runs the on-site tackle shop (tel: 01926 842188) along with match ace Pete Rice, has all the info anglers need and the deadly duo will take your open match bookings on that number and supply top quality bait. The Bottom Pool (29 pegs) is very well protected from the elements and skimmers, bream […]

High Pool (35 pegs) has recently received a mass stocking of small carp, and while any bait will see your pole float disappear beneath the surface, red maggot is as good as any. However, as temperatures rise, red or strawberry flavoured cubes of meat and red sweetcorn will be the tempters for the bigger carp […]
