The winner Mark Tregear fished 3ft across with pellet as his choice of bait which seems to be kicking off her at Partridge at the moment, then he moved on to fish at 3ft under the pallet and finished down the track for the last hour of the match still fishing pellet.

Report:
Some say you don't want to draw the back bank but today John Eldred plots himself up on peg 30 ( back bank) and put 58lb of silvers on the scales, approximately 35lb on the waggler early on and then the short pole line came good in the closing stages, it was an all out pellet day and as you can see back up weights are not to far off the lead, a great match John

The pellet cone is a great tactic for cold weather when a bite or two can make the difference between a dull session and a match win. It’s all about setting a one-bite trap in the correct place, ready to tempt a passing lump into having a go.
Pemb Wrighting is highly adept at catching in all conditions and the pellet cone is one of his go-to methods when the temperature drops: “It’s great for offering a small pile of bait with the hook bait most prominent – the fish doesn’t have to be feeding hard to want to investigate and then a bite won’t be far behind. ”
Today, Pemb has chosen Sumners Ponds Fishery in Horsham, West Sussex to demonstrate the effectiveness of the pellet cone and with the weather veering between Arctic blasts from one of the many winter storm systems and bright sunshine, the Guru-backed ace will need to bring his A game to get a result.

Report:
Wye Team Championships 26-02-2017 It was touch and go as to whether this years event would take place due to high water levels, but the decision was made to run the match with a slight change to pegging. 10 teams of six anglers fished across the Belmont, Bartonsham and Eign sections. Barbel were expected to be the dominant species, but with the rising water, and lots of debris clogging up the river, they didn't show as well as expected. Belmont section did however produce plenty of dace and roach bites for most.
This week I decided to try somewhere new, Lloyds Meadow Fishery. It's a venue which I've hear loads of great things about, but have never had the opportunity to get round to fishing it. I decided to fish a lake called Badger, in hope of a few bites.
The plan was to fish the pole all day, with the chance of catching a few carp.

Big-Water Bream
Steve Ringer visits the famous Furzton Lake in Milton Keynes for an insightful day's bream fishing
"It's always nice to visit different venues and while Furzton is only about 30 miles from my home, I don't actually get the chance to fish here very often. This water is actually a huge man-made park lake that was constructed to deal with floodwater from the area"
Maggot Magic
Adam Richards explains how a simple maggot approach could be the key to unlocking your local snake lake!
"After a long winter of feeding next to nothing, there is nothing I like better than filling a pole pot with bait and feeding positively! For me, no bait is better for this than maggots. "
