River Severn Barbel Fishing at BAA Eardington Brook - Near Bridgnorth!

Join me on the BAA section at Eardington Brook, south of Bridgnorth for an afternoon session in tough low and clear conditions!
The initial part of the session was under cloudy skies however these soon passed and it became very bright and warm not helping the already tough fishing conditions. Before the fishing starts - I’ll show you the parking and access for this stretch off the B4555 Highley Road 4-5 miles south of Bridgnorth. I'll also show you a selection of the pegs if you’ve not been to Quatford before and an overview of the layout of the stretch.
Once fishing - See how I approach the session and be rewarded with a really lovely Torpedo 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 14mm pellets and Boosted Cocoons from Vortex Baits.
Ground bait - CKO flavour from Vortex Baits with lots of hemp.
Hopefully you enjoy the video and the overview of Eardington Brook - It's well worth a visit if you have a BAA (Birmingham Anglers Association) card..
Thanks for watching.

Blimey Rob, If that hooklink is 4 ' you must be tiny,😂😂😂 !! Thanks for all your hard work making these videos, much appreciated.

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Mark.. Appreciate the kind words again 👍🎣

[@Accyboom]

I don't fish the Severn but enjoy watching your videos. The access information is excellent and a real help to other anglers. Keep up the good work.

[@RobsAngling]

Glad you like them - Thanks for watching 👍🎣

[@stuarthill8861]

Another fantastic video Rob. Thanks for sharing

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Stuart 👍

[@Red_Snappa]

Another polished video as usual Rob. The What 3 Words addition is a really great idea, as is the intro bit on the walk to the swims etc. Well done on managing to wangle out a nice 8lb-er in those conditions too.....

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks! It was tough at the time - Conditions a lot different now! 👍🎣

[@weeman2727]

Great video Rob…..I absolutely love that stretch, holds a lot of sentimental memories 👍

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks - Glad you liked the vid.. It’s a great stretch for sure 👌👍

[@robholt8333]

Great video as per Rob. I've been eyeballing this stretch for a while in the BAA book and you've done the hard work for me. Cheers mate.

[@RobsAngling]

Good luck - Hopefully you have a few 🎣

[@myke.h2913]

I visited this fishery last week Rob for a recce on a very drizzly day as you say Slippery!! .Well done on the barbel I followed your earlier advice and ended up at BAA Quatford stretch for a days angling. Always interested in the rigs you show.

[@RobsAngling]

Hopefully you had a few - The banks are ultra slippery now the rain has finally arrived! Good luck on the bank yourself 👍🎣

[@marshallart113]

Sweet vid as per . Love the 3 words tip. Nice fish looks bigger than she was could of claimed a double there 😂. You chose well. Avon is very hard going still. Not much coming out at all.

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks - Glad you liked it. I’m keen to get on the Avon myself also.. I will at some point this Autumn. 👍🎣

[@marshallart113]

@@RobsAngling I'm on it Monday..either a baa or Harvington. I'd let ya know but youtube comments ent great for a convo lol

[@andrewjackson9603]

Thanks Rob. Excellent as always. I'll give that a go next week when I'm up. It looks like it's going to be tough going! Still, I'll enjoy myself whatever. Cheers. 👍

[@yingtongtiddleyepo]

I was on the left stretch with my brother earlier this week, it must have been at the time you were there as I recognised the canoeists and paddle boarder floating by, the last time I fished the beach on the bend I lost a lot of tackle on the very snaggy bottom, so be aware, you may need a few feeders and leads! Great video, keep them coming👍

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks! - Will do.. There are a lot of boulders in that peg. How did you get on yourself..? 👍🎣

[@martinaskey6762]

Cracking info once again, thanks and a lovely barbel, well deserved 👍

[@RobsAngling]

Cheers Martin - That was a cracking Barbel.. Wouldn’t mind seeing that one again! 👍🎣

[@barrydowner2236]

Great vlog as always Rob - many thanks. We share something in common…lost tackle in Fladbury weir! Looking forward to your next vid.

[@RobsAngling]

I think they’ll be a small army to us who’ve done that! 🤣👍🎣

[@tonyhoskins9914]

Hi there rob great videos of your fishing sessions Just wanted to drop a line to say how helpful your extra details on venues help me - as I live in the south of the country but love the severn ,avon etc I realy helps when you give a little insight into location access,parking etc Keep it coming Tight lines - tony hoskins

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Tony.. Great to hear that’s the case. Good luck with your own fishing - Plenty more videos to follow 👍

[@jordanscarrett2468]

Thanks very much 👍🎣

[@stephenridd6834]

Glad that you noted that the section immediately upstream of the bridge is NOT BAA water.....

[@MrAnderson321]

🎣Always enjoy your videos, mainly because the Severn is my local river. Rowley Angling being my club at Coalport, crackin place.

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks! Glad you like them - Hope you’re catching a few yourself 👍🎣

[@johnridout6205]

He got my rods.

[@RobsAngling]

Can’t beat them for great value 👍🎣

[@BostinAngling]

We at Bostin not really fished this stretch that much, we should really give it a go. We been down the BAA on the opposite bank, very few pegs these days sadly.

[@RobsAngling]

It’s worth a visit - There is plenty of choice at this stretch 👍🎣

[@magicworldbyjorg]

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks, will do! 👍🎣

[@magicworldbyjorg]

@@RobsAngling Thank you very mutch... have a nice Start of the week.... see you….

[@LeaSmart]

Good stretch but getting to the pegs is lethal in the rain

[@RobsAngling]

That’s very true! It’s the time of year now to be very careful 😬🎣

[@jamesmulligan4297]

Great videos rob with good information 5* one question though my van is 2.2 meters in height and now I’m wondering am I going to fit , what’s your thoughts , thanks.

[@RobsAngling]

Hi James, that will be very close. You’ll need to visit to check that - If it doesn’t fit, there is some lay-by parking close by as a backup. 👍

[@jamesmulligan4297]

@@RobsAngling nice one rob keep the videos coming next season , some good info in them what where all learning from too stuff 👍

[@krisbushell5818]

Have you fished baa coombys farm aka kinlet and Stanley waters, I've seen a few decent double figure barbel pictures recently on social media from that section

[@RobsAngling]

Hi Kris, It’s been 18 months or so since I’ve been on that stretch - I do want to get on there again soon. Let me know how you get on… Good luck 👍🎣

[@krisbushell5818]

Going next week, will keep you updated

[@johnloxley8705]

is it advisable to put any weight on the hook length to hold it down on the river bed any better ??? 🤔🤔

[@RobsAngling]

Hi John, no it’s not necessary for a river rig. My preference is a stiff fluorocarbon which will kick away from your feeder and is heavy enough to sit nicely on the bottom without being seen 👍
