“MY GREATEST BREAM SESSION EVER”

Ian Hannaby – 13lb 7oz bream

“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.

“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.”

Ian’s top tip: Spread your rods out over a fairly large baited area, because bream are a shoaling species.
