2010 – Early September
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 [...]
2010 – Mid August
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 [...]
2010 – Late July (A Hat Trick…!)
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 – [...]
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.

2008 – July Blog
Cor, time flies when you’re having fun, eh? I must have had loads of fun in the first three weeks of the new season because the time has literally flown by. I mentioned in my last blog that I was making a series of DVDs with Stu Walker and this has taken up every spare [...]

A Day Out With The Lads
Sometimes we take our fishing far too seriously. Many anglers measure their enjoyment purely on the size of fish they catch and if you ask me that’s a recipe for burn-out if you’re not careful. One of the things that we all agree about in the DVSG is that our fishing has to be fun. [...]
Chub In A Cold Climate
Anyone who is a relative newcomer to fishing and reads the papers avidly will be labouring under the impression that seven pounds chub are pretty common and that sixes are merely run-of the-mill captures. If only that were true. The truth is that the headlines are dominated by a relatively small number of fish from [...]
