Joe Carass gets out on the bank with the superb Pro Natural range from Bait-Tech. Bait-Tech somewhat bucked the trend last year when it released the original Pro Natural groundbait. In a marketplace dominated by 2kg carp mixes, producing a blend for silver fish and natural venues was a bold move. It is a move that has paid off, though, and Pro Natural has been a huge success for the brand, proving to be extremely effective for a wide range of natural-venue situations.
Never a company to do things by halves, Drennan’s new Acolyte Carp pole is set to shake up the mid- price bracket. With package prices starting at just £995, here’s what editor Alex Bones thought. My introduction to this pole was on a morning fishing session arranged by Drennan at a local commercial. Sat on a swim offering a long margin my first foray with it was exciting – latching into a hard- fighting carp only moments after sitting on the box!As always it’s Drennan’s meticulous attention to detail that often wins anglers over.
Cameron Hughes has won the Drennan Rive Silverfish Festival with an impressive 112b catch of roach and skimmers over two days.
This is the first year that this prestigious event has been run at the prolific White Acres holiday complex in Cornwall. The 78-strong field included 20 invited anglers from France, the Drennan Team England squad and a host of other top names.
The event was run as a float-only competition with a 13m pole limit and strictly no carp, crucians or F1s counted… although more than a few were hooked in the unseasonably mild conditions!
The top five anglers all posted two section wins but it was Cameron Hughes that stole the show.

Match Fishing’s Joe Carass just had to get the laptop out and tell you about his latest exploits!
I would love to say to you that this week has seen me achieve levels of success that I have never seen before. Sadly I cant, and quite frankly my results this week were pants.
Now I certainly don’t claim to be a top angler, more a competent one. But readers of our magazine or these very blogs could be forgiven for thinking that the top guys never have bad matches.
