2012 – Early February Blog
Sometimes I wonder where the time goes. Is it me getting older and slowing down? Or is it true what older folks say, that time speeds up with every birthday? Or maybe it could be that I’m filling my life with amazing things and living it to the full… 300 Not Out! Then again, this [...]

Caught In The Act – Update
It’s approximately a year now since Stu Walker and I launched into our Caught In The Act filming project. Taking everything we learned whilst making our barbel films and applying it to other species wasn’t too difficult but what began as an idea for one DVD has grown into a series of 4 DVDs, probably [...]
2012 – Early January Blog
Crikey, where does the time go? You blink and another month flies past. Anyway, I’m back. Happy New Year. I hope you all had a great ‘winter festival’ and behaved in a wholesome politically correct way, making sure at each opportunity not to upset any of our fellow countrymen with our harmless religious and pagan [...]
2011 – Late September Blog
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 [...]
2010 – Mid August
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 [...]
2010 – Late July Blog (Part Deux)
Welcome back to part deux of what must be the longest angling blog in the world. Mind you, no-one’s exactly complaining, are they? Well, that’s not exactly true. There is the occasional knob head who’s presumably fuelled by jealousy but I rather like that. Shows I’m doing something right. 
I find it a little [...]
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 [...]
Effective Barbel Rigs – Part Two
After reading Part One I’m sure that some of you were left thinking, “Is that it? Surely there’s more to it than that! It’s not fair! You must be keeping a secret up your sleeve…” But the plain truth is, no, I’m not holding anything back. There is no Holy Grail out there; there is no [...]
Tales Of The Riverbank – Part 11
Chapter Four Life Through A Lens Oh My Gurd The video cassette had a little boom back in the early nineties, not that they ever sold a lot in their original format. Those who were involved at the very beginning soon realised there were much richer pickings to be had by shooting other subjects. [...]
