As the days lengthen and the thermometer rises I find I’m buzzing around like a blue a***d fly. There’s so much to do and I haven’t even renewed a single club ticket yet. Mustn’t make the same mistake as last year, eh? Lost out on a ticket I seldom used but it was nice to [...]

Well, a month has flown by and I’ve done precious little fishing. Mind you, I was ready for a break from it if truth be told. There comes a point, especially if you’re struggling to catch a great deal, when you can find far more pressing matters to attend to. And it’s good to maintain [...]

Well, the curtain has fallen on another river season but could it be the final curtain? Well, some seem to think so. Personally I don’t think so but we’ll have to wait and see but I do think the closed season is the wrong length and it’s at the wrong time. Let’s be [...]

February Blog (Part Two) Brrrr….!!!! As ever I was struggling to find time to get out on the banks in the early part of February but that’s been no bad thing if I’m being honest. All the local lakes and canals had a thick lid of ice on them and I’m not the kind [...]

October Blog Well, I’ve survived another trip to India, but only just this time. I don’t know what it is about the place but it certainly brings out any ailments in me. I travelled to India with the tail end of a cold and I was pretty certain that it would clear up rapidly in [...]

There’s something delightfully indulgent about writing a book in which you are the central character, the glue that holds it all together. It would have been easier not to bother, after all, who on earth would want to read it? And then I got to thinking. I’d like to read it. And if I’d like [...]

Chapter One Humble Beginnings Caught In The Net I can hardly remember a time in my life when fish weren’t important to me in some way. Perhaps it’s in the genes, after all, my father fished the high seas as a trawlerman but I never fished with him. He died when I was seven by [...]

When I hear anglers making out they know how to catch big bream it brings a smile to my face. Big bream are frustratingly unpredictable. For weeks I had been picking up reports from the Great North Fishery (formerly A1 Pits) suggesting that the bream were feeding really well. So well in fact that the [...]
