I’ve gone mad, it’s official. A year ago I gave up the day job and put together the kind of early retirement plan I’d been dreaming about for more than a decade. It was going to be a life full of indulgence with three days fishing in the week and lots of weekends away with [...]

Some Like It Hot… Work on the next volume of Barbel Days And Ways continues apace and the schedule is becoming demanding. It’s also pretty punishing in the heat. Stu and I slipped down to the Welsh borders hoping to fill our boots on the Wye but to say the conditions were against us would [...]

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 [...]

One of the time consuming web tasks that I have to keep on top of is site maintenance. Article comments from visitors are given top priority because their comments are normally checked for bad language or stupid threats before release. You’ve probably noticed that comments can be left at the bottom of each web page but [...]

Read the inside story… It’s barely a year since Stu (Walker) announced that he was going to film our sturgeon adventure. He’d bought a camcorder, read the instruction manual and was raring to go. We thought he was slightly mad. Surely you had to have some talent to make a movie? The planning meeting [...]

Tales Of The Riverbank – Part Seven Adapting, Adopting And Improving I wouldn’t have missed my years in club match angling for the world because this was my training ground, my apprenticeship if you like. I was a bit keen mind… I still have my diaries from the time and they [...]

Bob’s saga continues… Wetting The Baby’s Head Despite our fun and games on the carp lake, the desire to ‘guest’ on waters didn’t completely desert the Jonah and me and another trip remains memorable for very different reasons. Moreover it was a guest session like no other. You see, we were both attending a [...]

I made my most unlikely writing debut in Coarse Angler magazine way back in 1987. After corresponding with Colin Dyson for quite some while, picking his brains on all manner of subjects, he cajoled me into writing three articles for his eyes only – at least that’s what he told me…
