Carp Fishing – Unfinished Business – Things Happen For A Reason (Part 2) – John Bartley
I could still see some frothy bubbles on the surface, with that, a good fish showed but it was a bit far out in this swim and I knew that I could get a much better line angle in the point swim. It was a zone that I had never seen anyone fish from the point but more important the line angle would be perfect...
Carp Fishing – 2020 Park Lake, Mayhem! – Dan Chart
Eventually, though, my thoughts were that I needed to be back at the park lake. This was to be my 3rd season on White Swan and I was determined to fish it my way, as I wasn’t really happy with how the past seasons have gone...
Carp Fishing – Bars of Summer Gold – Craig Smithson
After Monday 23rd March when the government finally said we could go fishing I was out the door in a flash! I was doing one or two nights a week at Milton, unlike some places, Milton did not exactly fish its head off. In all truth I was scratching around each trip trying to get a bite with plenty of blank trips...
Coarse Fishing – A Year In The Making – Rob Young
The backend of the season was a bit of a disaster on my local rivers as they were in flood like most other river’s around the country. I did fish a bit on the rivers, but it was no fun, and it was extremely dangerous walking the flooded riverbanks after dark in chest waders. I ended up spending the majority of my time Pike fishing the local gravel pits...
Carp Fishing – My Year 2020 – Gavin Cambell
The start of the new season on the island lake was a bit strange… Coming after the lockdown, and the fact the biggest fish in the lake had come out at 60 lbs plus meant the lake was rammed. The first few weeks became a lottery and I just slotted in between anglers in vacant swims that weren’t really on fish...
Coarse Fishing – 2020 A Year To Forget – Mike Lyddon
I had been trying to catch a 6lb+ chub, coming close on so many occasions. I think I have now had over 10 chub between 5lb 14oz and 5lb 15oz, but I could never get one with that extra magic ounce I needed. On this particular evening though, I finally cracked it, not once, but twice! Firstly, with an absolutely pristine chub of 6lb 4oz...

Eind juli zou ik mijn jaarlijks verlof mogen starten met een vistrip naar het magische rainbow lake. De voorbereidingen werden moeilijk door een drukke periode op de werkvloer, mede door de Corona.
