For some anglers, going further afield in search of high reward has proven to be worthwhile.

Gee Brown travelled to Kent for a 48-hour session and was rewarded with a new personal best of 40lb 12oz, with sticky baits krill helping him to a new record.

Simon Irvine also caught a good mix of chub and perch on the River Nene whilst our lure fishing on short sessions.

Strike king rubber worms fishing weedless on a ned rig worked well for Simon, who managed a trip to the River Trent.

While there, he landed a 7lb zander and a bonus 9lb barbel in the same session.

Previously, Luke Reedman landed a new personal best of 40lb 6oz.
