Name: Ade Kiddell Background: Ade is one of Europe’s finest river anglers, and is really well regarded in the barbel fishing world with numerous really big fish to his name. He’s a regular on rivers like the Severn, Wensum and Trent, fishing on regardless of with Ade Kiddell how high or low the river is. Ade has also caught big barbel overseas, and is the current Dutch record holder! Feeder Top Tip: Ade is never afraid to feed quite heavily when fishing for really big barbel, choosing a pellet-based feed for the majority of his fishing. The way he sees it, the bigger the fish - the more likely they are to want a good meal!

Are you fishing the feeder effectively? Big fish ace Ade Kiddell reveals his simple guide to catching more fish on the quivertip.

The golden rule in items close to hand when Ade always makes sure there are around 30 various all cases is not to use any more required. It’s just like fishing out he’s got all the kit he might need - for any shapes and sizes of feeder to weight than is necessary.

He’s the 2010 Drennan Specimen Cup winner, and has a seriously impressive string of very big fish of all species to his name. Jules is also regarded as one of the best predator anglers in the UK today. JULIAN CHIDGEY Top Tip: Julian puts a lot of importance in watercraft, taking time to search around a venue to find the species of fish he’s looking for. He recommends looking for areas that provide cover for fish, or weedbeds that may be full of natural food. Putting your rods out in the right place makes a huge difference!
