Fishing In Ireland 2011
Lough Derg, Ireland, 2011 “What would it take to tempt you to come over and fish Lough Derg?” Said the email. “I suppose an invitation would be a good starting point!” Was my reply. Lorraine Tully rents out three fabulous properties on the shores of Lough Derg, near Whitegates, in Ireland’s Shannon Region, a location [...]
2011 – Late June Blog
Let’s kick off the river season in style with a bumper blog that’s rammed with all manner of fishing issues, great catches and a bit of fun. There’s a serious message or two plus a few images that capture the very essence of why we bother to go fishing at all. It’s a proper old [...]
2011 – Early June Blog
This was originally going to be a rather short blog but as usual I got carried away. My intention was to make a few excuses about being completely strapped for time but it’s probably true that the devil finds work for idle hands. I did have an hour to spare the other day while waiting [...]
2011 – Late May Blog
I’ve been out a couple of times this week and been battered on both occasions. The first trip was with Marc Johnson to the members lake at Tyram Hall. It was a freaky day in that we hardly saw a carp move and usually they are quite active in the clear water, cruising around with [...]
Par For The Course – Carping with Allan Parbery
Par For The Course – Carping with Allan Parbery It’s a few years since I did any serious carp fishing but I have to say I do enjoy it, especially if I can get into the right mindset. Most of my recent carping has been short session stuff, mostly stalking or floater fishing so when [...]
2011 – Early January
Well, let me open by wishing all you reprobates a sincere and happy new year. I’ll be doing my best in the coming months to keep up the hard work and to entertain you along the way. I’ll also end up upsetting a few folk but that’s life I’m afraid. You don’t make an omelette [...]
2010 – Early November Blog
I intended this to be a short blog but unfortunately I got a bit carried away. Nothing unusual there I suppose. You don’t mind, do you? Perhaps I’ll hold back some of the images from my latest trip to Devon and create a gallery next time. Time constraints deemed I could only spend three nights at Anglers [...]
The Complete Book Of Legering (Revised) Chapter 7 – The Dink Dink
The Complete Book Of Legering (Revised) Chapter 7 The Dink Dink What a method this is. When first revealed in print in the Complete Book Of Legering I imagine loads of readers lifted an eyebrow and promptly dismissed it as a waste of time. It was their loss because I still get approached by [...]
Travelling for Tench – Matt Brown
Every couple of months or so I take a couple of days of work and venture south in the hope of catching a really big fish or two. I see these trips as a special treat – something to look forward to. Some people would be put off by the travelling but when you look back over [...]
2010 – Mid September Blog
The Trent beckons tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be heading above Nottingham and fishing for roach but can’t say for certain just yet as it has bucketed down in these parts over the past couple of days. Fingers crossed it’s been isolated heavy showers rather than persistent downpours over a wide area. Saying that the EA River Line [...]
