After the first hour with just perch being caught it looked ominous for the Midland & District Coarse & Pike Anglers (MADCAPS) club members fishing a competition locally, but then the Bream King Karl hooked into a huge bream only to lose him at the net.

A quick change of tactics and four hours later his keepnet bulged with 93lb 6ozs of Bream – the best over 9lb 6ozs.
A superb days fishing by Karl with Arthur Senior Judge taking 2nd place with a great net of perch.
Go fishing…
