It's been a while since we've heard from Team Bankside member Andy Howes but after a short break away from the bank, he's back doing what he does best. Here's what Andy had to say about his latest capture.  Andy's Latest Severn Double "After a bit of a break from angling over the summer i've started making the odd trip to the Severn again recently. A week off work and renewed enthusiasm led me back to the river where i began fishing for barbel, and this 11lb 3oz beauty was a nice welcome back. The river had tested my patience for a couple of days previously, the low and clear conditions making life tricky, but the foot or so of fresh water I'd been waiting for finally arrived from the welsh hills, brought a bite or two and gave me the Severn bug again! This is probably the most immaculate Severn double i've ever caught, usually they're proper old warriors but this one was almost scale perfect. A subdued fight and the sun on the water blinding me led me to believe it was a fairly small fish, but it grew in the net and I was shocked to see the needle sail past the 10lb mark. Hopefully this is the start of a good winter, let's hope it stays mild this year. |

Local angler and Bankside regular Dan usually gets amongst the fish wherever he visits and on his latest water it hasn't taken him long to land this stunning 31lb common. Targeting a tricky south-west club water on a quick overnighter, Dan put his faith in the ever dependable Bankside D-Liver freezer bait fished over a few Mini Grubbers. |

2009 has been a bumper year on the rivers for many of our customers with the Team Barbel boilies and our range of pellets producing a number of new personal bests on the Severn, Avon and Wye. One angler who's had an amazing year on the Severn is local angler Tim Maslen. Tim featured in our news pages a few months ago with a run of consistent catches and is back again, this time with superb 12lb 8oz specimen caught from his favourite swim on the middle reaches of the river. As usual Tim put his faith in the Team Barbel frozen nuggets and fished these over a bed of mixed Bankside pellets. 
Chris Clargo is another local angler who's been catching wherever he fishes and a recent session on the river Wye on Bob James' private stretch produced an 18 fish catch, including these two caught as a brace when both rods went off at the same time. Chris returned to a different stretch of the Wye shortly after for another 15 fish catch, with all the barbel falling to the ever dependable XL Grubber Pellets. Not finished yet, Chris has also been out to the Warwickshire Avon where he bagged a brace of barbel weighing in at 12lb 8oz and 8lb, again on the XL Grubbers.
