Sometimes I wonder where the time goes. Is it me getting older and slowing down? Or is it true what older folks say, that time speeds up with every birthday? Or maybe it could be that I’m filling my life with amazing things and living it to the full… 300 Not Out! Then again, this [...]

Crikey, where does the time go? You blink and another month flies past. Anyway, I’m back. Happy New Year. I hope you all had a great ‘winter festival’ and behaved in a wholesome politically correct way, making sure at each opportunity not to upset any of our fellow countrymen with our harmless religious and pagan [...]

Hi there folks. If you’ve dropped in hoping for a Christmas Blog update then I’m sorry but I’ll have to disappoint you this time. It’s Christmas, you see, and even dedicated anglers like me take a break now and then. Normal service will be resumed in the new year so in the meantime feel free to have trawl round some [...]

Welcome dear reader. Let me begin this epic blog with a question; are you an optimist? Do you genuinely believe you’re going to catch whatever the weather, time of year, species you target and so on? Or are you, like me, a fatalist, fully believing that if things can go wrong, they probably will. Even [...]

Welcome folks to another load of drivel and boy, have I got plenty of it for you. Let’s start with the good news. The volume of abusive mail I receive at Online Towers from certain quarters appears to have reached an all-time low. Thank the Lord for that and long may it continue! Perhaps they’ve finally [...]

Fishing’s been held up on the back burner for a while as I’ve spent the past week in Lanzarote. First visit there and maybe the last. It is certainly a strange island, rather like a cornflake. In fact I’ve seen more green on a moldy loaf of bread – or on the faces of certain [...]

Only a brief blog this time, for which I trust you’ll be eternally greatful. There simply doesn’t appear to be enough time at the moment to fit everything in and fishing has to take priority when time is tight. I promised you more of Mole’s paintings so what better way to kick off. Here’s the [...]

Well, the weather has finally broken. Thank the Lord for that. It’s nice to get a sun tan in October but I’m not sure it does the fishing any good. Too early for pike, barbel all lethargic and reluctant to come out in daylight, in fact most species did a bit of a nocturnal thing. [...]

Where’s the time going? The sand seems to be racing out of the egg timer neck at a frightning rate and it’s all I can do to keep up. Guess it’s my brain’s way of saying slow down, Bob. This past fortnight I’ve been up to all sorts. Last Friday I had the priviledge of [...]

You know I hate to rush these blogs but sometimes I get my fishing head on and need to be spending more time on the bank than bashing away on a keyboard so I’m sure you’ll understand. Checking round the other bloggers doesn’t give me much inspiration, mind. They’re either all lazy or they’re catching [...]
