2010 Calendar
Free 2010 Calendar I was looking around for a nice 2010 Calendar the other day and couldn’t find anything I fancied so just for the hell of it I decided to create my own. And then I thought what the hell, why not share it? So here you are, the 2010 Bob Roberts Online Calendar [...]
Big River Feeder Fishing
This is a bit of an experiment, but it’s one I really hope will work. If it does I’ll be in a position to share my entire back catalogue of articles dating back more than 20 years… The following article was published in David Hall’s Coarse Fishing magazine back in January 1992. At the time there [...]
2009 – Bonus November Blog
Looking out from my study window the weather is, to put it mildly, s-h-*-t-e!!! What’s more I’m struggling for motivation to go out there and get a soaking when very little is being caught. And I need to sort out a new umbrella, so you know what? I’m having a week off to tidy up [...]
2009 – Mid November Blog
The old fishing’s started to get a mite tricky in recent weeks. From the heydays and high days of summer when barbel proved as easy to catch as certain mugs on the Internet forums I’m reduced to scratching around for bites.
2009 – Early November Blog
Can you believe it?

[...]

2009 – Late October Blog (Part 2)
Whatever Happened To The Northern Specimen Group? A trip back to the Trent saw me on a completely different stretch where it’s rather big, wide and featureless. A nine metre tide added volume to this and despite only fishing for a few hours the level rose by a good two feet and dropped back nearly [...]
2009 – Late October Blog (Part 1)
Welcome to a bumper edition of the Blobbylog! Before I get to the fishing I’d like to kick off with a bit of ying-yang. First the good news. The latest web stats reveal this web site received more than 14,000 hits in the past month alone and the figures are steadily rising. I’m also getting [...]
Effective Barbel Rigs – Part One
Since appearing on Sky TV’s Tight Lines programme with Keith Arthur a few weeks ago I’ve received a huge number of enquiries asking me to explain in detail my barbel rigs and bait presentations. It certainly appears the programme made a lot of barbel anglers sit up and think. During the programme some footage [...]
2009 – Mid-October Blog
I recently filmed a programme with Kev Green for his Improve Your Coarse Fishing TV channel. It’s currently airing on the onlinefishing.tv web site and rather nice it is, too. I believe you have a choice of subscribing to the channel at £4.95 per month or watching individual programmes on a pay-per-view basis. Works out [...]
