I have not been able to go fishing for the past two months due to my Father being poorly, but now he is on the road to recovery and I was keen to get back out fishing. I planned a short session and arrived at my syndicate water before first light and took numerous [...]
I arrived at the lake early on Thursday to find just two anglers already fishing. I had a quick walk around the lake and sat in the end swim on the road bank to try and see if I could spot any signs of fish activity. With the aid of my binoculars it wasn’t long [...]
The day passed with no more action as the temperatures got to 33.C, we caught up on some much needed sleep. I planned to have a shower around 6pm, so before this I was going to repeat the baiting program that had worked so well the previous night. I mixed the bait together leaving out [...]
I was due to make my fourth visit to Sky Lake’s in France and I knew what I needed to achieve this year, I had to catch myself a fifty. The lake is around 14 acres in size and has got a little weed present, this however is not much of an issue. As I [...]
I'd planned a two night trip to start on Sunday 19th May as the lake was getting a lot of attention at the weekends. Normally I had been arriving early on the Friday, only to find that by 3pm every swim on the lake was taken, which meant you were unable to move and obviously [...]
I was due to have a couple of nights fishing my new water around my birthday and I planned to arrive before daylight to watch the water as the sun rose. I arrived at 3am and walked round to the point swim, which has got the best view of the whole lake to wait to [...]
I planned a two night trip to my new water, which had been a tricky of late. I decided to ditch the particle approach as I had blanked for six nights and try a boilie approach. I put my faith back in the hand of my favourite Dynamite Monster Tiger Nut boilies. I found a [...]
I was busy doing a training course for my job all week up at Thatcham and every day saw me passing Horton on the lovely M25, so that was me sorted for an overnighter for Friday, especially as the moon phase was bang on for big carp! Friday came and the car was loaded - [...]
I had been planning a trip to Horton Church Lake for a few days, and had booked off the Friday so I could get there after work on the Thursday giving me two nights fishing, as I had to be home early Saturday. Arriving at the lake at 7pm on the Thursday it was quite [...]
After my successful start at Horton I was dead keen to get back as soon as possible, so booked a Friday off work. After arriving late on the Thursday evening after work I found the place rammed with 17 anglers on in total! After a walk round I found out that the swim that I [...]
I placed it back into the recovery sling and went and woke Josey for a couple of pictures. Photos done I put her back, re-baited the rod, repositioned and got back to bed. I wasn’t asleep for long when the rod I had just recast was away again. I picked the rod up, felt a [...]
I made up a big mix for the first hit of bait, with 10 kilos of boilies and mixed particles in a large bucket and rowed out to the marker. I put a lot of the bait on the marker and scattered some boilies around the back and side of it as well. I wanted [...]
For some reason I had never really wanted to fish in France! Misguidedly I thought it would be a waste of time, easy fishing and big horrible ugly fish. In hind sight I must admit I was wrong. My angling friends have been travelling to France every year for as long as I can remember, [...]
