Wigan specimen angler Steve Sutton won a weekly Drennan award in Angling Times last week for a tremendous recent catch of monster Bream! Steve fished a ‘rock hard’ Lancashire Stillwater and used method feeder tactics to take fish of 18lb 9oz, 16lb 2oz, 14lb and 12lb 1oz over the course of an overnight session.
Steve fished at a spot around 100 yards out in 14ft of water, which he laced with a 50 ball bombardment of red crumb and Gold Pro Bream Groundbait. He then fished a semi-fixed Method feeder on 8lb mainline with a short 3ins 6lb hooklength, tied to a size 14 Drennan Super Specialist hook baited with 5 red maggot to take all four fish on the same rod!
