Winter rudd beats PB

A 170 mile-round trip to a Fenland river proved fruitful for Andy Waters when he slipped the net under this chunky 3lb rudd. 

Lowestoft rod Andy smashed his previous personal best of 2lb 10oz when the large silver fish devoured a breadflake offering fished over a bed of mashed bread. 

TOP TIP: “Rudd are surprisingly excellent night feeders – don’t be afraid to target them after hours.”
