At the age of 8 I watched my Grandad catch an eel with a fishing rod. I was so fascinated by this that the life-saving hobby of my ancestors flared up in me and I knew that I wanted to be an angler. Over the past 29 years together with a lot of [...]
Carp angling today is a million miles away from what it was when I started fishing. The digital age and social media just two of the reasons it’s the beast that it is. Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining, I like today's scene as much as I liked the early days of my [...]
I arrived at the lake at about 1pm on a very miserable Wednesday afternoon and managed to get straight into the swim that I hoped would be available. I had just the one night to fish and with this limited time, I chose an area that I knew there was the possibility of [...]

The old canal in Belgium is a venue that I have been fishing on and off for more than a decade, and I still love angling this little piece of heaven! The canal is around 25km long, with many different sections/stretches. During the last couple of years I have been concentrating on a few [...]
Over the last couple of years I have been fishing a large pit in Kent with my sights firmly set on catching a new PB common. My current PB common is a fish of 42lb 8oz, which I was lucky enough to catch in 2010 from a weedy Oxfordshire syndicate lake. Having my new [...]
During early August I began thinking about my autumn fishing, and where I wanted to fish more precisely. During the summer school holiday months I tend to only do single nights, fishing close to home and taking the kids for a few sessions. I’d taken my older boy to a club lake a couple [...]
