Browning Aston Park Fisheries Lead The Way…
The fishing has really taken off at Aston Park for the start of summer, with some exciting additions to the match and pleasure fishing format at the fishery.
Aston Park is without doubt one of the most popular pleasure fishing venues in the country, and Venue Owner, Alex Mitchell is keen to keep the punters happy:
“In conjunction with our venue sponsor, Browning, we have introduced a new Commercial King Monthly Day Ticket offer. You simply need to bring an old day ticket on a return visit, and we place this into a prize draw that takes place at the end of the month. The winner will be drawn out and win a brand new Browning Commercial King rod worth over £70! We like to keep the cost reasonable too and charge just £6 for a day ticket, with a concession ticket of £5.

Keep a Margin Ahead!
Alex Dockerty unveils the margin tectics that he uses to catch fish down the edge all day long.
Sunday, April 24th – Partridge Lakes Open Match. The last match of the week, I decided to have a go back on Partridge Lakes for the open match. With 85 anglers on it, it just goes to show how popular a venue it has become over the last few years.
I drew Peg 98, so it was my first time sat on Covey 4.
So it was here, the first Fish ‘O’ Mania qualifier of the year. I always get excited on qualifiers for these big-money matches. They can be a bit of a lottery, but if you draw a decent peg you can be in with a chance.
For the last four years I have been trying to get a ticket for Partridge Lakes without any luck, but this year I managed to get on both qualifiers.
The death of Jan Porter is a great loss, not only for the world of angling, but for the wider people who knew, befriended and were in contact with him. An incredible ambassador for the sport and the brands he represented, Jan was best known in his early match fishing days as ‘the man in red’, thanks to his all-red tackle and clothing. He then assumed a camou-clad approach to angling, while still sporting the famed long hair and pony-tail look that saw him become one of angling’s most recognisable figures. I remember on one occasion being able to spot him a mile off on one of the country’s biggest motorways, thanks in no small part to his fishing wagon, which sported a full camou vinyl wrap to match his clothing.
