Cross Drove Coarse Fishery

Venue information

Cross Drove continues to attract top matchmen from all over the south-east to sample some of the tremendous mixed fishing on offer. Always thought of a very fair competition venue the weight margins between the top match finishers are usually very slim and a single fish is often all that separates them. Bags of carp, some to double figures, tench and bream of 5lb-plus, skimmers and F1’s have been over 100lb to pellet, paste, meat and corn. Tench and big bream often snap up worm and corn baits presented over accurately fed loose offerings. A waggler and feeder approach are also worth considering in places as there are lily beds, islands, bays and peninsulas that make for some great fish holding targets.
