There are plenty of big bream in the Worcester to Gloucester area of the Severn (double figure ones if you are lucky) but suprisingly few are caught. In my match days days when fishing what then was the Worc Fed water below Diglis weir I saw plenty of 5/6lb bream weighed in but that is one of the bigger ones ****ie, well done mate.

Could the reason not many are caught be because few anglers target river bream and the majority that are caught are on barbel and chub tackle, hardly surprising really when you consider the normal baits that chub and barbel anglers use. I fluked a 7lb bream at Kempsey, below Worcester, a couple of years ago and that fell to a 14mm halibut pellet meant for barbel as did a 2.5lb roach at the same place.

A concentrated heavy feeding pattern on some of those stretches could possibly yield some very big bream to those who are prepared to put the effort in, it could be you ****ie boy, you know the water well enough. " ****ie the Severn bream king" it has a ring to it wouldn't you say?

Only just picked up on this thread....

Thanks for your kind comments (Nasty Northmore excepted! /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif)

Apologies for the startled look, I had just landed nine bream between 6lb 12oz ish and 8lb, and an 8-10lb carp in one and a half hours.

Me and Jim did a bit of prebaiting on a swim in front of my house before the season started and then fished short sessions for a week.

This fish and my haul above were typical for a couple of hours fishing after work; hence I look knackered/ stunned/ like I've just sat on a red hot poker. All on one rod too!

Graham,

As you say there are bigger and we are targetting an area next week that we believe will produce 10-12lbers. Vitalin at the ready and fingers crossed...

If you can get the Angling Star this month, you can read about this session and the potential of Sabrina's forgotten super-slabs /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

You never smile in fish pictures. Ever.

You should be barred from fishing until you can crack that stoney facade.
