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 [...]

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 – [...]

New Season News Well the long wait is finally over. As June 16th approached I was buzzing to get out on the rivers and start fishing again. Quite what made me so excited this year I haven’t a clue but I was straining at the leash as the big day approached. My main desire was to dig [...]

You know, I had a brilliant time at the Barbel Society’s ‘Running Water 2010′ show on Sunday despite the attendance appearing to be well down on recent years. With Dave Chilton (Kryston) and Gary Knowles on the stand next door the insults were always going to be be flying thick and fast. But I guess what [...]

Get Out There And Give It A Go! In the last blog I showed it was quite possible to catch fish in these arctic conditions providing you are determined enough. Either that or you’re completely bonkers! But seriously, you really can go fishing in what appear to be terrible conditions and face one of angling’s toughest [...]

Can you believe it? This is the 100th article to be posted on my web site so let’s make it a meaty one. 100 articles is quite a milestone in a year I can tell you, in fact it’s practically replaced my full-time job but let’s not forget everyone who has helped or contributed in some way or other.
