March was a great month for me! It started with a 48 hour session in a swim where I had seen a fish bosh out whilst I was walking around the pit looking for a sign. I ran and got my gear in the swim, quickly getting it all ready for the night. However, the [...]
For my first trip of the year I headed off to my local day ticket water, known as Lakeside. The venue was busy, but luckily I managed to set up next to my mate. As I was getting the rods sorted, I noticed a few fish just below the surface. I soon had a few [...]
I started my last session on the southern syndicate in a swim that I had never fished before, having always shied from fishing it as it is such an awkward swim to fish from. Nevertheless, I’d always thought it would be a good spot to angle. Having got down to the lake just before dark [...]
I started a 72 hour session on the Small Lake, which I hadn't fished it in a while. I set-up in a swim called gravelly, an area I have great confidence as I have yet to blank in it. I had feel around with a bare 3oz distance lead on my spod rod to find [...]
I headed back to my local syndicate lake and quickly set up in a swim I had fished before and done well in. I found a gravel spot about 45-50 yards out and got my spod rod and two rods clipped up to the spot. My third rod was going to be used with a [...]

I started a 48 hour session on Friday after school at FLE top lake. Whilst talking to the team, they said I would have a good chance in a swim known as the pipes. I got my tackle out of the van and was soon standing in the swim, it looked excellent for a bite [...]
As the Easter holidays were coming up I was preparing for my trip to France for a week at St Leonards lakes. I visited the venue last year and had a great time including catching two forties, so I was keen to return at the same time this year. After a six hour ferry journey [...]
As the weather finally started to warm up, I headed to my local lake called Lakeside for a quick twenty four hour session. I set up in a swim called ‘the beach’ and flicked one rod down the margins in front of some rushes. This is a good area and I had heard it had [...]
On my birthday I went fishing for a twenty four hour session with some friends to FLE Fisheries Top Lake. Late last year I helped net the lakes and knew they contained a lot of nice double figure fish. On arrival I took a walk around the lake, I headed to the climbing trees that [...]
