Where’s the time going? The sand seems to be racing out of the egg timer neck at a frightning rate and it’s all I can do to keep up. Guess it’s my brain’s way of saying slow down, Bob. This past fortnight I’ve been up to all sorts. Last Friday I had the priviledge of [...]

As you know, I met up with John Wilson the other day and he was telling me about a project he’s involved with in the Predation Action Group. Essentially he’s prepared a dossier recording how his local waters and businesses have been affected by cormorants and otters and he’s asking if other anglers around the country [...]

Time for a blog update, methinks. Bit of an irreverant tour de force this one, characters galore and rambling through topics far and wide, but mostly all are fishing related. Do enjoy! My little ride round last week woke an urge to return and have a play on the Alderfen match lake. It’s a cracking lake [...]

Well Christmas is coming and i’m sure a lot of wives and girlfriends will be looking for that special little present for you. Well, in case she doesn’t find it you can always point her in the direction of a good book. Or better still the Barbel Days and Ways DVDs… But enough of the [...]

Autumn is the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, according to Keats. And this year has been quite special, hasn’t it? Driving through the leafy lanes of Norfolk last week was simply breathtaking, the landscape a riot of golds, reds and browns although by the time you read this they’ll probably be a distant memory or [...]

Ice on the car windscreens this morning doesn’t bode well for my trip to the Severn in a day or two. Guess we’d better get used to the fact that Winter is around the corner and the days of easy fishing on rivers are now probably over until next June. Oh well, mustn’t grumble, it’s been a [...]

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 [...]

Although the past month or so has been pretty hectic, as it always is at this time of year with so many fishing oportunities to take advantage of, I’ve been trying to keep on top of my fishing reading as best I can. Here are my thoughts about some of the books I’ve managed to find the time [...]

Early April Blog Greetings everyone! I struggled to get out on the bank for most of this week needing to catch up on a backlog of writing. Anyway, I’m back on top on that score at least. Friday saw me heading down to Lakeside Fisheries, near Ranskill. The owners have been good friends for at least 15 years [...]

Can it really be Christmas again? Well, considering the local shopping centre has been piping the sounds of Slade, Mud and Greg Lake into the ether for at least two months it must be getting pretty close! Anyway, please allow me to wish all you regular blog visitors a truly memorable Christmas. This months music widget starts atomatically so [...]
