Not the best conditions for a match on the severn what with the water being so low ..but down there its really deep usually so hopefully the bream might still show up..or is it worth the time waiting only to find they dont.....these are the decisions you have to make....maybe its better to catch the silvers from the off. at least your putting fish in the net , but always in the back of your mind ,knowing that it only takes a couple of skimmers or a chub to beat you .....oh well ill decide tomorrow ....

Re: birds meadow
well i dont know how to put this ...Unlike the previous days it was overcast with the promise of rain , so the chances of someone landing a bream was defiantly on the cards.. one of my brothers who is very good at bleak bashing drew next to me and said that was going to be his approach. i set up a 8 meter bollo rod (that's 24 foot in old money ) and a 50 gram cage feeder .. the 24 foot bollo never got me anywhere near the bottom even though the river was down.. the whistle went and i chucked in 10 tennis size balls of groundbait full of chopped worm ,corn , casters .. and dropped my feeder over the top. well after 10 minuets boom, i had a skimmer . Small but it was a skimmer none the less, so my hopes were up ..after the first hour i heard my brothers feeder hit the water which told me the bleak wasn't about.. iv got 4 skimmers by now , he had 3 bleak and a perch so gave up on it...Next 2 hours not a bite so in frustration i walk up to see my mate dave ( hes always good for a few fish ) he said to me , Its sh1t BIN im only got 4 skimmers , well what a coincidents so had i ...so off i go back to my peg to try harder. having asked everyone i passed it was apparent it was hard going and i was doing ok .. when the final whistle went and id managed 9 skimmers.. i was happy with that ... untill dave walked passed with the scales and told me he had 19 skimmers and 2 very big bream in the last hour or so ..... So not only didnt i win but we were all beat up and put to shame by a fantastic net of fish from Dave.. having spoke to him after the only differance we did was,, i was throwing about 10 meters and he was chucking a good 3/4 over the far side where he had seen bubbles coming up in a line....well like i said before , every day is a school day ,, i know for next time.
Ill post all the results on the match fishing page just now..
we weighed his bream separate .. ....6lb 2 ounce & 6lb 11ounce + 19 skimmers

Re: birds meadow
Hello bin,
Thanks for your feedback from Birds Meadow, they were good size Bream that were caught.
I do hope that Bream of that size show up at our contest at Ladyham this coming Saturday.
I look forward to reading your Match report.
Keep on Fishing…
