Match Fishing Southfield Reservoir - It's Not About The Bream!

This week sees me heading to the mighty Southfield Reservoir, match fishing with the Yorkshire Bandit Angling Club.
Recent results in the NuFish Feeder King and DDAA matches had shown that the reservoir just wasn't fishing for bream that it is so famous for. Instead the midweek DDAA match had been won with an incredible 33lb bag, the top 3 weights in the match were all caught pole fishing for roach.
With this in mind, I decide to spend a limited amount of time long range feeder fishing for bream and plan to catch roach as short as possible pole fishing and, if conditions allow and the fish are willing to come in close, whip fishing.
The rules which the DDAA and NuFish Feeder King matches are run by, do not apply to YBAC club matches, therefore, you are free to try anything you wish on Southfield Reservoir.
Watch on to see how I approach the venue when there's more to consider than the feeder fishing for bream. I give you the low down on my Southfield Reservoir tactics and take you from the draw to the weigh in and deliver my post match analysis to help you decipher this often difficult venue.

well done john, one tip i give for southfield before you reel in on the feeder twitch it or move feeder about a foot then leave it for a minute before recasting, doesn't work every time but can get you a few extra fish on a hard day...all the best scott

Good tip! Thanks Scott, it's something I've done many times before but if the tip's been rattling and I feel the bait is marked I won't bother. I'll definitely be trying it next week at the feeder king if they're not biting. Later in the match I may also just add an extra yard and reclip to try and pick any fish off that are hanging back off the feed. Tight Lines.

The whip is a much underused method on this water .. once had 65lb on whip , pleasure fishing but showed the potential

Cracking net that on the whip. Yes I agree, not many ever consider it but I love it when it works well, such a speed tool.

Great vid pal. JK said to me to be the night b4 to prepared to fish for silvers. I didn’t. I set up two feeder rods hoping I would at least get a slab or two. Not the case. Lesson learnt. 😊

@HOOKEDFishingChannel 4 жыл бұрын

Cheers John, yes, always make sure you have a backup plan to scratch a few out. It'll be a bit different at the Feeder King next week though, just gotta sit that one out on the tip.

Are you filming it? Look forward to it if so. Good luck bud 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi,great video I have match on there this sat in the woods pegs 1-10 can you tell me about your pole rigs?? Did you use carbon or wire stemmed? Also shotting etc...many thanks....

@HOOKEDFishingChannel 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Mike, I just used 1 rig on the pole which was a wire stemmed 0.5g pear shape body float with a long thick bristle, bulk was no.8s with 2 no.8 droppers 6 inch apart and 6 inch to the hook. Leave a lot of bristle showing if it's choppy. I'd also setup a 0.3g and 0.4g strung out rig if I fished it again, the heavier with glass stem and the lighter with carbon. Rigs setup on 0.13 mainline to 0.11 bottom and size 18 hooks Last year I caught a lot of bream at 15m in the woods on a small feeder and 10ft rod. If the wind is blowing at you they could be there?

No that's fine, I'm no editing expert and sometimes it sounds ok when I'm making them and then play them back on other devices and I feel the same at times, I'll try and tone it down a bit in future, it's all a learning curve.
