Sill a bit hit and miss it seems but there have been a few down there lately including a regular few fishing Sensas Open
Last weeks results below.
Sensas Open, Stowe Pool, Lichfield, Staffordshire, Sun. 14. Steve Preece (M & S Joinery) 12-6-0, three bream, feeder and sweetcorn, peg 1; Peter Cartwright (Wolverhampton) 11-14-0; Andrew Talbot (Willenhall) 10-9-0.
The best match weight last year was 59 pound caught on the slider if I remember.
Theres no permanent pegs on Stowey - just a few yelllow paint dabs between the weed beds.
If you compare these weights to Port Talbot docks at the moment Stowe has been consistantly higher - just proves the potential.
With April just days away and a promise of warmer evenings and high winds its probably the best time to have a dabble if you haven't ventured there yet.
Our weekly trips have resulted in mixed fortunes - several big bream on some pegs - nowt but big billies on others - I reckon the big bags will be caught using big baits this year that'll stop the smaller fish having a chew - corn, pellet and big pieces of worm - can't wait!
Don't know who runs the matches there but I think its a regular Sunday job - Kev Tipton used to?
PS - Won the pound pool yesterday
