Magnificent Murchison
A ray of reflected sunshine catches the corner of my eye but I ignore it, I’ve grown to recognise it as the day’s worn on. It comes from the barrel of an AK47 rifle hanging from the shoulder of Serapio’s personal bodyguard. To his right the Ranger has one, too. Usually I’m stepping over these [...]
Postcards From The Nile
This article is ideally read in conjunction with Nile Perch – The Poor Man’s Marlin? which you’ll also find on the web site. Postcards is simply a series of illustrated short tales and observations. It’s Getting’ Kinda Crowded Round Here… I had expected to be fishing in a huge expanse of water, after all the lake does [...]
Nile Perch – The Poor Man’s Marlin?
Lake Nasser is synonymous with huge Nile perch. For the early pioneers it was a true Mecca. The fish stocks were amazing and the perch were huge. It may be the largest man-made water on the planet, the size of a sea, but commercial netting has reduced it to a shadow of what it once was. What you’re [...]

2010 – Late March Blog
Sorry about the delay in publishing this March Blog but I’ve been doing far too much fishing of late and when time can be freed up the paid work has to come first. I have to pay the bills somehow! If the writing appears rushed or the imagery falls below the normal high standards I [...]
2010 – Late February Blog
January was a bit of a mad month, wasn’t it? I guess the usual suspects must have had a miserable Christmas and decided to cheer themselves up with a bit of mud slinging and bad mouthing. Oh well, like I really cared as I boarded the plane. “Set the controls for the heart of the [...]
2010 – January Blog – Happy New Year!
We roved around, rarely spending more than ten or 15 minutes in a swim. You either catch early or not at all and it’s certainly not a case of feeding until they have it…
