It’s a bit short notice, I know, but if anyone fancies popping down to Brown’s of Leighton Buzzard on Saturday 2nd October I’ll be there representing Daiwa and you’ll also get a chance to meet the Korda team, too. If anyone would like their copies of the Barbel Days and Ways DVD’s signing I’ll [...]

Everywhere you look there are signs that autumn is approaching rapidly. Officially we’ve got another four weeks before the clocks go back but I’ve a sneaky feeling we’ll be well into winter’s transition by then if the misty mornings and fruit laden trees are anything to go by. Already there’s a tinge of brown to be [...]

The Trent beckons tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be heading above Nottingham and fishing for roach but can’t say for certain just yet as it has bucketed down in these parts over the past couple of days. Fingers crossed it’s been isolated heavy showers rather than persistent downpours over a wide area. Saying that the EA River Line [...]

Blimey, the past two weeks have been a bit of a blur and serious fishing time has been somewhat at a premium. However I have squeezed a bit of time in on the bank and although I’ve caught precious little of note it has been great fun and also whetted my appetite for things to [...]

What a hectic time of year this is! Since returning from Cyprus I’ve appeared on Tight Lines, spent five days in the Wye Valley, miraculously met five magazine and newspaper article deadlines, dealt with a mountain of visitor emails to the site and as I write I’m making arrangements to visit the Angling Direct store [...]

The stocking of barbel in stillwaters is a contentious issue with some individuals, so much so that they would see captively bred barbel destroyed rather than be released into ponds. But here’s a question for you: Can you define what a stillwater actually is? You see, to me, a canal is a stillwater, even though it [...]

I’ll be brief. You’ve had four blogs already this month. Five’s just showing off! Alas the Trent’s in a mean mood and that won’t change until we have some significant rain, or maybe a bit of sunshine. Since the weather conditions turned from bright and tropical to ideal for fishing - cloudy, breezy and temperate – [...]

Welcome back to part deux of what must be the longest angling blog in the world. Mind you, no-one’s exactly complaining, are they? Well, that’s not exactly true. There is the occasional knob head who’s presumably fuelled by jealousy but I rather like that. Shows I’m doing something right. 
I find it a little [...]

This may be a rushed blog – depends how I feel as it progresses but now the river season’s open my opportunities to sit down and write are being restricted for all the right reasons - and the desire to sit here bashing away at a keyboard when I could be fishing rapidly diminishes. I’ll do [...]

By heck it’s been a busy week or so since the last blog. Where on earth does the time go. Still the fish have been kind to me, the sun has shone and there are many more adventures lining up in my diary so things will remain interesting for a long time to come yet. [...]
