"My greatest bream session ever" - Ian Hannaby

“After settling into a swim on a Midlands gravel pit I spent an hour Spombing in a gallon of pellets, cracked maize and dead maggots before casting helicopter rigs with Ringers white and chocolate orange wafters over the top. 

“I spread the rods out over a fairly large baited area, because bream are a shoaling species. 

“It turned out to be my greatest bream session ever.

I landed 29 fish, of which 14 were doubles with seven of them going over 11lb!

The two biggest went 12lb 2oz and 13lb 7oz – the latter being the second-largest bream I’ve ever had.”
