Bag'em matchbaits/Tubertini Team Quartet Make it a Double
After what can only be described as an horrendous winter, that has made attempting to go fishing over the past three months an impossibility for most of us. Ten teams of die hards have braved the elements to fish the Alders Farm Teams of four Winter League 2010/11 to its close conclusion. With Bag'em/Tubertini and GOT Baits level on points and only weight count back separating them, the penultimate round was going to be a very tense affair indeed.
The all important draw took place and Bag'em/Tubertini drew well putting all the pressure on the GOT Baits team but the job in hand was too big a task for the Alders Farm regulars. On the day team Bag'em/Tubertini battled to their second consecutive winter league victory with sections wins for Barry Mason, Matt Grant, Mick McMillan and a 4th in section for team Captain Steve Potter, which on the day was enough to give them the title by a clear margin of 14 points.
To add yet another accolade to this very impressive, all round team performance, the leagues top point scorer was Wellingborough based rod Matt Grant. He amassed an incredible 49 out of a possible 50 section points, which is an incredible personal achievement, especially when you take into consideration the conditions that Matt and all the anglers taking part had to contend with.

Trev's diary
The Midland Angler of the Year final was separated into two 3 hour matches with half hour weighing intervals.
The first 3 hour match was feeder only but you could feed your pole line but couldn't fish it. To begin my match I chose to fish for numbers of fish i.e. the f1s and skimmer bream rather that the occasional large carp.
Feeding at the start of the match i set up 2 rods at the same distance of 30 yards one which i planned to use a large open end feeder to get some bait in the peg at the start. As its a big lake you need to draw in the fish, so I filled my large open end feeder and put 5 feeder fulls of Bag'ems micro pellets in on that line, I put my rod down and fed my pole line for the second match with an orange size ball of Bag'ems Xpanda micros 50/50 moulded hard to get to the bottom as it was very windy and towing a lot. I didn't want to overfeed this line on the pole because i didn't know whether it was right or wrong to feed heavy without being able to fish it, so i just planned to feed the line once more half way through my first match and then leave it for the second match.
I then threw a pellet feeder on my 30 yard line with Bag'ems micros as feed and a 6mm banded pellet hook bait. I caught virtually straight away , four f1s and the next two came off. I just carried on plugging away on this line hoping that it would get stronger later in the match. After the 1st hour I had twelve f1s then I had 40mins quite hard so i wanted to get some bait back into my peg because I felt the fish had moved on. So I chucked two more big feeder fulls in, it was make or break time. Within the next 10min i started to catch again and took another five and it slowed up again. So then i thought the fish just backed away from the feed and just came to feed when they wanted, so i took 5 yards of my clip and cast past my feeding area to 35 yards. I then began to catch bream in the last 40min of the match, they were averaging a pound and half, sure weight builders! Then it was all out of the 1st match.
Ended up 2nd in my section on the 1st match with 31lb 4oz, I was pleased with 2nd but I feel I should have won my section due to a few lost fish!
The 2nd match was pole only , I shipped out to 13m with a soft pellet as hook bait and kinder cupping a golf ball size of Bag'ems xp and micros 50/50 moulded hard. The wind was really pushing my rig through the water fast which I thought wasn't good for presentation so I knew I had to then put line on the deck to try and slow it down a bit. About 10 inches seemed to be best even though its not usually right to do when fishing expanders but there was no other option. My first two bites were from two roach and I thought oh dear! but then on the 3rd cast I took my first skimmer of 1.5 lb and I thought from that point I was going to catch then, so I knew from the earlier feeding from the first match on the pole line i never overfed it. I then just began to catch steady throughout the rest of the match continuing to feed a small ball each cast eventually pushing myself to a section win of 37lb 14oz. Considering the conditions over the day it was still good fishing . I ended up with 3 points overall which was a close tie with Kieron Rich but in the event of a tie it goes to the top weight so I won beating Kieron by about 5.5lb overall.

Bag'ems Jamie Hughes won Heronbrook festival 2010
Bag'ems Jamie Hughes won the Heronbrook festival last week with 6 points, consisting of 1 match win, 1 lake win, 2 section wins and a section 2nd. This won Jamie around £2200 for the week.
This makes Jamie the first angler to win the festival twice, he first won it in 2007.
Here's how he did it:
Day 1. I drew peg 19 on Meadow pool and caught 95lb of carp on the pole and method using 2mm coarse pellets and Bag'ems XP groundbait with a 6mm pellet on the hook. This was enough to win my section.
Day 2. I drew peg 39 on the Speci lake, this is a wide peg so I had to fish 19m of pole to reach the far bank. I finished up with 91lb of carp using 4mm pellets and meat. This won my section and also the lake.
Day 3. Peg 52 on Meadow pool was my worst draw of the week. The lake fished hard with only around 20lb in the first 5 hours, fortunately some large carp arrived across in the last hour and I caught around 40lb to finish with 63lb and 2nd in section.
Day 4. Peg 11 on canal was my best draw of the week! Fishing 2mm pellets with a 4mm or 6mm Bag'em Xpanda on the hook resulted in bites all day from small carp and a weight of 106lb was enough to win the section and also the match overall.
Day 5. I drew peg 15 on Bridge pool and was fairly happy, as I needed to finish in the top 5 in section to win the festival, I felt that this peg was capable of doing that.
The pool fished really hard though and with 20 mins remaining I had 24lb and was lying around 7th in section, fortunately luck was on my side as a mirror carp weighing 16lb 4oz was my final fish with 10 mins remaining! This gave me a total weight of 41lb and a section win, which won me the festival by 7 points.

Day 3. Peg 52 on Meadow pool was my worst draw of the week. The lake fished hard with only around 20lb in the first 5 hours, fortunately some large carp arrived across in the last hour and I caught around 40lb to finish with 63lb and 2nd in section.
Day 4. Peg 11 on canal was my best draw of the week! Fishing 2mm pellets with a 4mm or 6mm Bag'em Xpanda on the hook resulted in bites all day from small carp and a weight of 106lb was enough to win the section and also the match overall.
Day 5. I drew peg 15 on Bridge pool and was fairly happy, as I needed to finish in the top 5 in section to win the festival, I felt that this peg was capable of doing that.
The pool fished really hard though and with 20 mins remaining I had 24lb and was lying around 7th in section, fortunately luck was on my side as a mirror carp weighing 16lb 4oz was my final fish with 10 mins remaining! This gave me a total weight of 41lb and a section win, which won me the festival by 7 points.
Bag'ems Jamie Hughes won the Heronbrook festival last week with 6 points, consisting of 1 match win, 1 lake win, 2 section wins and a section 2nd. This won Jamie around £2200 for the week.This makes Jamie the first angler to win the festival twice, he first won it in 2007.
Here's how he did it:
Day 1. I drew peg 19 on Meadow pool and caught 95lb of carp on the pole and method using 2mm coarse pellets and Bag'ems XP groundbait with a 6mm pellet on the hook. This was enough to win my section.
Day 2. I drew peg 39 on the Speci lake, this is a wide peg so I had to fish 19m of pole to reach the far bank. I finished up with 91lb of carp using 4mm pellets and meat. This won my section and also the lake.

Match Record Broken At LarfordThe fish were in a feeding mood for 2008 Maver Pairs
and Pole Pairs on the 16th and 17th of August at Larford with the Arena lake producing the big bumper nets. 112kg taken by Adam Richards on the Saturday was the top weight with no less than four anglers catching over 90kg (200lb)!
On the Sunday the lake record was broken by Bag’ems very own Lee Thornton.
Lee commented on the catch; ‘Having drawn on the Arena pool on the Saturday and getting a right battering, I was praying for a draw there again on the Sunday as I felt that although I had been beaten, I had worked out the winning method for the lake. After two hours on the first day I started to introduce casters which the fish went barmy for, however I still wasn’t feeding heavy enough and due to falling behind at the start I ended up fourth in the section with 90.150kg when I felt I could of won.
With some good drawing by my Bag’em partner Peter Goodman, I was drawn again on the Arena pool on the Sunday and spent an hour walking around buying peoples Casters from them!! I managed to amass 10 pints of Caster and 3 Pints of Hemp which I felt should be enough!!
Having started shallow for the first 5 minutes with only two small Rudd for my efforts. I came down the edge where I had been feeding caster from the start. Instantly I was into a carp and caught well for half an hour or so. It started to tail off which I felt was due to the depth of water I was fishing, I started at 2ft which due to the overnight heavy rain I felt was too shallow. Picking up my other rig set at 3 ft I was again catching. I fed a big handful of bait when I first hooked a carp and another handful when I laid my rig in. I fished to my right for the first half of the match and to my left for the second amassing approximately 130 fish for 133. 140kg or 292lb.
I felt shattered by the end of the match but pleased that it had gone so well, I run out of bait with 5 minutes to go so I managed to spread my feed out well although I think I could of caught more with more bait!!
Rig was a 4x12 float, 0.22 straight through to a 14 hook with 16/20 hollow elastic

The Midland Angler of the Year final was separated into two 3 hour matches with half hour weighing intervals.
The first 3 hour match was feeder only but you could feed your pole line but couldn't fish it. To begin my match I chose to fish for numbers of fish i.e. the f1s and skimmer bream rather that the occasional large carp.
Feeding at the start of the match i set up 2 rods at the same distance of 30 yards one which i planned to use a large open end feeder to get some bait in the peg at the start. As its a big lake you need to draw in the fish, so I filled my large open end feeder and put 5 feeder fulls of Bag'ems micro pellets in on that line, I put my rod down and fed my pole line for the second match with an orange size ball of Bag'ems Xpanda micros 50/50 moulded hard to get to the bottom as it was very windy and towing a lot. I didn't want to overfeed this line on the pole because i didn't know whether it was right or wrong to feed heavy without being able to fish it, so i just planned to feed the line once more half way through my first match and then leave it for the second match.
I then threw a pellet feeder on my 30 yard line with Bag'ems micros as feed and a 6mm banded pellet hook bait. I caught virtually straight away , four f1s and the next two came off. I just carried on plugging away on this line hoping that it would get stronger later in the match. After the 1st hour I had twelve f1s then I had 40mins quite hard so i wanted to get some bait back into my peg because I felt the fish had moved on. So I chucked two more big feeder fulls in, it was make or break time. Within the next 10min i started to catch again and took another five and it slowed up again. So then i thought the fish just backed away from the feed and just came to feed when they wanted, so i took 5 yards of my clip and cast past my feeding area to 35 yards. I then began to catch bream in the last 40min of the match, they were averaging a pound and half, sure weight builders! Then it was all out of the 1st match.
Ended up 2nd in my section on the 1st match with 31lb 4oz, I was pleased with 2nd but I feel I should have won my section due to a few lost fish!
The 2nd match was pole only , I shipped out to 13m with a soft pellet as hook bait and kinder cupping a golf ball size of Bag'ems xp and micros 50/50 moulded hard. The wind was really pushing my rig through the water fast which I thought wasn't good for presentation so I knew I had to then put line on the deck to try and slow it down a bit. About 10 inches seemed to be best even though its not usually right to do when fishing expanders but there was no other option. My first two bites were from two roach and I thought oh dear! but then on the 3rd cast I took my first skimmer of 1.5 lb and I thought from that point I was going to catch then, so I knew from the earlier feeding from the first match on the pole line i never overfed it. I then just began to catch steady throughout the rest of the match continuing to feed a small ball each cast eventually pushing myself to a section win of 37lb 14oz. Considering the conditions over the day it was still good fishing . I ended up with 3 points overall which was a close tie with Kieron Rich but in the event of a tie it goes to the top weight so I won beating Kieron by about 5.5lb overall.
