Maver ace gets silver surprise
Maver's Ben Hughes enjoyed a session to remember on a recent trip to Stourports Larford Lakes, after banking a 2lb 8oz roach!

Ben explained: "I caught the fish on the bomb using a hair-rigged banded 8mm pellet fished at about 25 yards. I was targeting the resident carp and bream at the time, after being reliably informed by Andy Kinder that fishing an 8mm pellet whilst feeding 8mms over the top was the way to go.

I had drawn permanent Peg 25 (about mid-way down the Speci burr). During this stage in the match I had already taken carp into double-figures and bream to 5lb, but a big roach was the last thing I expected! When I first connected with the fish, I initially thought it was another bream, but then it started to fight back and I thought it might be a small ‘stocky’. When it came to the top for the first time, I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was real heart in the mouth stuff!"
