Short session fishing has been the name of the game in June. Time has once again been a little restricted but this hasn’t stopped me getting out and putting a few fish on the bank. First stop was a couple of evening trips to the crucian lake, which was a nice way to end a [...]
Once a year I go on a family holiday to the south of France and this year was no different. The first week was spent in a lovely place called ‘Albas’ on the banks of the mighty River Lot, where I set river carp and barbel as my target. My second venue was the River [...]
After a particularly tough spring on my chosen venue, I decided it was time to change venues and get the rods bent once again. Three months of very hard fishing and god knows how many bream, had taken its toll on me and sapped both my enthusiasm and drive. As we were now into June [...]
Over the years I have witnessed and to a degree experienced an element of jealousy amongst anglers when somebody has caught a fish. This is something that I personally have never really understood and in my opinion if somebody has had a “result” through quality angling then fair play to them, especially if it is [...]

Everyone melted away and I was left on my own to think about what had just happened. A few weeks earlier I had been in the same swim and caught the Chinese common. I never thought that I would surpass that in my lifetime, but I had and I was in bits. The rest of [...]
It is always a great pleasure to fish with our sponsored anglers, especially when they are from one of the foreign teams. Recently we were fortunate to spend a couple of very enjoyable days on the banks of the picturesque Old Lake at Old Bury Hill Fishery in Surrey, in the excellent company of French [...]
After a busy day coaching the van was loaded and we were heading to Warwickshire in aid of the 2012 Carp-in-4-Cancer event. We fished in the event last year and actually managed to win with the added bonus of also taking away the biggest fish trophy. This year we would be defending our title on [...]
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 [...]
The start of this month was occupied by exams and revision. This was boring, but needed to be done before I was free from college work for 3 months. The exams went well, and I will get my results back in a few weeks, but it was now fishing time! This year I was going [...]
It’s a funny thing working in this trade – you would have thought we would all be out there fishing the whole time. If only! The reality is that the days are spent primarily in an office dealing with a varied and often high volume of work, and when I do get out on the [...]
The plan was to get home, have a quick shower and pick up some boilies before making the hundred mile journey down to Wellington Country Park in Berkshire. It was whilst driving on the M4 that I got a text from a friend telling me he had a 44lb mirror in the sack and that [...]
May has been a mixed month as far as my fishing has been concerned. I have changed job roles at Gardner Tackle moving from UK Sales to a media role. Time spent writing articles, liaising with sponsored anglers and promoting the new Target Specimen range from Gardner has left me with a limited time to [...]
Having got through the first round of the England Carp Team trials at Drayton reservoir, Ben and I now had to travel north to Wyreside Lakes to compete in the next trial. We would be up against some of the top carp match anglers in the country. Wyreside Lakes is a truly picturesque fishing venue [...]
After having a day off work at the tackle shop due to the bank holiday, the plan was to go out and get a feature done on one of my local club waters. When I woke up that morning I found myself thinking about staying at home due to the amount of anglers that I [...]
In the past when fishing this lake, I have usually wound the rods in and given the swim a rest for a few hours with no lines in the water. The conditions looked so good that I made the decision to leave the rods out and put another fifteen spods of my mix out to [...]
As the midday sun broke through the dark rainy sky I made the short walk from the now water- logged car park down to the lake. Walking round the venue, it was evident that the lake was not fishing at its best however, on a positive note a good mate managed to land a small [...]
Serious fishing was a little delayed this year because I was travelling back and forward to Nottingham to complete an angling coaching qualification. There was lots of written work involved in between the days that I had to be there, but I eventually came through it even though my hand did feel like it was [...]
