- Join me on the BAA section at Quatford for an afternoon session in mixed conditions!
If you've enjoyed the video and want to help support me with creating future videos - You can Buy Me a Coffee here - buymeacoffee.c...
The initial part of the session was under cloudy skies however these soon passed and it became very bright and warm resulting in tough fishing conditions. Before the fishing starts - I’ll show you the parking and access for this stretch (off the A442 2-3 miles south of Bridgnorth) and a selection of the pegs if you’ve not been to Quatford before.
Once fishing and after a change in pegs - See a few fish hitting the back of the landing net with a very nice surprise specimen included resulting in the largest catch of this species for a good 5 years from the Severn.
The equipment & bait I used is as follows -
Rods - Korum 1.75lb TC Barbel Rods
Reels - Shimano ST4000 Baitrunners
Line - ESP Syncro 12lb
Rigs - Running rig with 8lb flouro hooklength
Hook - Size 8 wide gape
Bait - CKO 8mm pellets and Cocoons from Vortex Baits. Dendrabena worms for a limited time.
Ground bait - Dynamite Big Fish River Range - Meat Furter flavour
Hopefully you enjoy the content.. Thanks for watching.

Happy memories, Cardiac hill at the start and a nightmare on the way back, couldnt manage it now, remember drawing the last peg on that section in a match, knackered now just thinking about it.Oh, and you couldnt walk down that road it used to be a dirt pathway next to what used to be the little chef.
Great stretch but that hill is a sod ! 🤣👍🎣
Brilliant Rob well done, I think its brilliant that you show the parking and the paths to the stretches to fish. Keep it up and many thanks.
Thanks Mark.. Hopefully it helps a few when approaching a new stretch 👍🎣
My word, its changed since I used to fish the section. I used to fish just before an old chapel that used to have a quaint bell that rang just before the little chef which I gather is now one of the diners. I think one of the diners used to be a pub. I think it may have been called Quat where I fished. Happy days but when the barbel were going you needed a serious amount of maggots to keep the feeder topped up
Another brilliant video Rob. Very informative. Especially for members like myself who live quite far away (N Wales). Nothing worse than getting to a new venue to then spend an hour or so finding somewhere to park and how to access the water. Will definitely try my luck at Quatford on my next venture. Thank you.
Thanks Nige - Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully it helps. Good luck - Hope you have a few 👍🎣
I'm in the exact same boat mate, also from N. Wales. Wrexham to be precise and these vids are great. Got my seasons best so far trying some swims in the videos.
lovely video. never seen you before. refreshing to listen to somebody who isnt shouting jumping up and down.
i live 10mins from the Dorset Stour including the Royalty Avon and Throop Stour.
Never fish them. Making me think about it though. Keep them coming
Brian
Thanks Brian.. Sounds like you have some nice water locally there. Good luck with your own fishing and thanks for the kind words 👍🎣
I can't believe that you don't fish Throop or the Avon, cracking rivers. I fish the Stour and it's a 154 mile round journey. But then again, everyone to their own.
Good work. Classic barbel stretch.
Thanks - Keep the quality kit coming 👌👍
Cardiac hill, the old walk down to river, and a peg anglers called The Bomb Hole. Great stretch
That’s the one - Probably all under water with todays level 👍🎣
I dropped in to this peg today after watching your video, managed a couple of barbel to 7lb and a couple of small chub. Nothing after the sun poked out from behind the clouds though, so thanks for the info. I had one on meat and one on double 8mm
Well done - Nice result. Sounds similar to my day there with bright conditions and it tough going 👍🎣
Sad,
Glad to see you actually weigh your fish Rob. See so many RUclipsrs who don't bother taking their scales, and then they catch a biggie that 'looks like a PB....but unfortunately I haven't got my scales with me today!" Make SURE you've got em in your bag...you only catch a PB once!
That’s very true - I always like to weigh where safe to do so.. I don’t see the point in guessing when it’s easy to know exactly what a capture weighs. 👍🎣
Very informative Rob. Looking forward to my next trip soon. 👍
Thanks - Good luck.. Hope you have a few 👍🎣
3 crackin fish Rob,especially that roach....very informative as ever,nice one
Thanks Kev - Glad it was of use 👍🎣
Cracking stuff. I used to fish Quatford a lot as a youngster.
It’s a lovely stretch - Well worth a few hours on the bank 👌👍
Great job, especially showing the access etc
Glad it was helpful - Thanks Peter 👍🎣
Some fantastic fish caught, especially that roach. Keep meaning to fish that peg. Would love to fish hemp and caster possibly some tares. Would be interesting to see just how many roach live there. Love the video, hopefully there will be more to follow. Tight lines
There have been a good few decent roach out this summer. Well worth a go for them 👍🎣
What a beautiful place, beautiful river. I would love to come over to the UK someday 🤞, and have someone take me fishing to some nice fishing holes, I'd love to catch a big barbel, big chub and a big perch, and probably a nice bream & roach, not exactly in that order
You should! Good luck 🤞🙏🎣
Going to be 100% honest here, these videos covering the River Severn on the BAA card are worth there weight in gold. My mate and myself, are new to the BAA card and your advise has helped us bag up barbel and chub, one very happy sub here. One quick question what leads are you using to hold bottom as I tend to use Korum river feeders 90g to 120g
Great to hear this! Thanks very much. I’m mostly using 2oz leads/feeders with a step up to 3oz when higher levels are on. It’s very rare I use anything more that 3oz on the Severn. 👍🎣
Thanks for the info on leads, tight lines as old RIP Terry Thomas would say.
I used to fish Quatford in the late 90s more than anyone else and I think you was fishing in one of the stack holes or very close by.. reason why they were called the stack holes because many many many years ago before like the river is today they used stack the boats up on the opposite bank and the is a ledge and you used to at to cast onto the ledge with the feeder full of hemp caster or bronze maggots then slowly retrieve it till the feeder fell off the ledge 100lb of barbel from there was a doddle..so was some other good pegs to..like the corner opposite some willow trees just down from the stack holes also in meadow two..then the most famous peg is in meadow one called the glory hole where I believe was the first peg on the severn to produce over 100lb of barbel in a 5 hour match..but don't even ask me about Ironbridge been fishing there since i was four at jackfield by the rapids so 50 years now..but been spoilt by all the work that was needed to be done because of subsidence and plus when the Half-moon Inn was reopened so I only go there now in the colder months but still catch plenty..but mainly fish the river tame Tamworth in a little call Elford absolutely full of fish in the winter waste of time in spring or summer.. Sorry for the long comment lol i got carried away lol
No probs Paul.. Good to hear all of your thoughts. There are a few very nice spots at Quatford which produce really well if you find them. It's one of my favourite sections of the middle Severn. Good luck with your angling - Hope you're having a few..
What a great looking Roach Rob, you fish exactly the same way as i do pva mesh mags i use 10mm halibut pellets usually on the downstream rod with a groundbait feeder on the upstream rod on a sausuage or cheese and garlic dumbell (12mm) i did go to the shingle was decent to be fair 5 barbel 6 chub biggest at 9-4-0. I am going again this weekend but on a different stretch
Thanks Tony.. A nice session you’ve had there. Simple tactics put fish on the bank - PVA bags are a great tool to use, good luck on your next outing. 👍🎣
@@RobsAngling Cheers Rob you too mate
Great video 🙂🎣
Thanks Luke 👍🎣
Well done. I made the mistake of dropping on the section lure fishing. A few stretchs of the baa tickett is alot like quatford. Unmanaged steep banks but if you go like you have and on a barbel session it would be brill. Got yourself a sub mate
Thanks! Some of the pegs there do need care particularly when wet. Good luck with the lure fishing 👍🎣
What a roach mate? Well done great video
Cheers Gaffer - Need to find a good shoal of those beauties 👌👍🎣
Enjoyed this video again informative considering that stretch for next month what camera are you using?.
Hi, sorry for the slow reply. I use a couple of Go Pros - Hero 9 & 10 👍🎣
@@RobsAnglingWell Rob I did fish it lovely stretch blanked though, some of those swims were as you say a challenge getting up or down! . River low a few chub and bream coming out apparently, for me a pensioner the information you provide is a great help .
hiya just subbed. i fish on the severn at lickhill manor in stourport, great bream fishing at night and the very odd barbel
Thanks for the sub.. I’ve not been to that stretch before - Will have to take a look 👍🎣
Been watching a lot of your videos recently, loving them I’ve been trying for a barbel for a while an just having chub, could recommend a stretch on the BAA for a good chance of catching one. I thought about quatford. Any advice would be great.
Thanks Chris - Quatford and Hampton Loade are well worth a visit. Plenty of Barbel are usually about in the right conditions. Good luck 👍🎣
@@RobsAngling welcome keep up the good work, an great Thankyou I’ll give it a go
Great video again rob 👍🏻👍🏻 just curious what it is your looking for with a peg?
Hi Ant, sorry for the slow reply. It depends on the time of day and weather conditions. When hot/bright - I’m looking for areas with deeper water and cover. 🎣👍
Have u ever fished burts stretch Hampton load next to the ship inn thinking of giving it a go.
I have in the past but not that recently - I’ll pop down again soon 👍🎣
@@RobsAngling fished the unicorn inn yesterday on the first peg next to trees on the left had 4 out fishing really good recently that stretch.
Can you tell me what rod bag you use please. I've been looking for one for barble fishing for ages
It's a Nash 2 rod holdall - It's about 10 years old now but still does the job well. 👍
Some great fish Rob,what rods do you use if you mind me asking mate
Thanks! I use the Korum 1.75tc barbel rods for the middle Severn 👍🎣
@barbelfishing thanks mate,really enjoying your RUclips videos,much appreciated
What rod bag is that you use? Thanks
Hi, it’s a Nash 2 rod holdall from around 10 years back! It does the job albeit it’s been around the block a few times now 👍
@@RobsAngling Thanks
rob what mainline do you use ? thanks
Hi Alan, I’m using ESP Synchro in 12lb 👍
Hi Dan. How heavy leads can the korum 1.75lb tc rods cast out?
They’d probably cast a 4oz or 5oz comfortably however I don’t use anymore than 3oz on the middle Severn unless it’s a very rare circumstance 👍
Fantastic film Rob. Id love to fish that stretch, but being disabled, it looks far too difficult for me to get to.
Finding decent areas to fish on the river is hard enough as it is, that walk would put me in a box! 😂
That Roach was a really nice suprise. Fair play mate. 👍🏻
Lovely roach indeed - It’s a shame there are so few accessible pegs. Good luck with your own angling - Hope you’re managing to have a few 👍🎣🙏
@barbelfishing I'm doing what I can Rob. Not having loads of luck at the moment sadly. But it will improve. 💪🏻
