The Bank Holiday weekend saw me book in for three open matches at Gwinear, it was going to be run as a mini late summer festival so all three results would count. Most people arrived...
I have to confess, I failed miserably in my attempt to have a month off from fishing. I did manage just over two weeks though but the urge was just too strong. The final push came when...
I had a colourful conversation on Tuesday afternoon with my old mate Nigel ‘Tourettes’ Taylor who had decided that a day’s bagging was in order at Mawgan Porth, he wanted to know...
I seem to spend most of my time travelling to Mawgan Porth to fish matches these days but the fishing has been terrific and I just cannot leave the place alone! The good thing about...
Many years ago I had a love hate relationship with the Gloucester canal. The fishing on most occasions was really hard but I kept making the long journey from my then home just outside...
I really enjoyed fishing the inaugural Preston Pairs festival at White Acres in 2009 and literally couldn’t wait until the next one but I never expected it to come around so quickly,...
Can someone please tell me where the time goes as soon as the days get longer? I seem to be cramming in as much as I can during the daylight hours and consequently have fallen well...
I arrived back in Cornwall on Saturday and met up with a few mates who were fishing the Garbolino festival at White Acres, nice to see the old boys! We had arranged a practice match...
I racked up the miles last week with a trip to Yorkshire and a festival at the fishtastic Garbolino Lindholme complex, it was a brilliant weeks fishing with some great company. I was...
What a fantastic weeks fishing I have just had! This game always has some highs and lows and the week was no exception. As we were visiting family over the bank holiday weekend the...
It was inevitable that there was a low turn out for the match at Trewaters Farm on the Saturday following the Milo Festival. Like myself, I guess most people thought it would be hard....
Making the correct decisions is key to success in match fishing and this week I only managed to get it right in one match out of three! Talking to some other anglers at various venues,...
There was no rest and it was straight onto White Acres for the Bait Tech spring festival, I’m not sure this year if spring is the correct terminology, the festival was competed in...
Last autumn Stafford Moor supremo Andy Seery told me that he was holding a silver fish festival in March and I immediately jumped at the chance to fish. I had been really looking...
Who said the weather was slowly improving! Since I wrote that we have had a frost every day and some have been wicked! It would be great to have some nice settled weather before the...
The weather is slowly improving and the fish are finally showing some signs of waking from their winter slumber and spreading around our local waters. But we are still getting the odd...
It’s a funny old game this fishing lark, I spend hours getting ready for matches turning casters and making rigs and at the moment seem to be continually drawing the wrong end of...
Sunday couldn’t come quick enough for me as I was really looking forward to the Individual league at White Acres; I seemed to have a van full of gear as all fish were included. I...
I’m having one of those runs at the moment when the ‘Bag of Dreams’ is not being very kind to me, it’s definitely the bags fault you understand nothing to do with my fishing...
It was great to be back on the bank again after the ‘Cornish Ice Age’ and what a difference a week makes! Last week we had 6’of ice everywhere and not a match in the region and...
I managed to sneak out for the last chance open at Gwinear on New Years Eve and it was an absolute belter to end the decade with. We had enjoyed a mild spell for around a week so I...
There I was thinking that I was well ahead of my self when I knocked a cup of tea over my lap top! Oh man I was not impressed especially as I had just penned a couple of thousand words...
The Mosella Garbolino Winter festival at White Acres is the one that I enjoy the most out of all the festivals that I fish. It is much smaller with around 60 anglers taking part but...
Saturday was the start of a very busy period on the fishing front for me with the prospect of nine back to back matches to attend! I was looking forward to all of them but I have been...
There was no let up in the wind on Tuesday but that didn’t stop a better than normal turnout at Gwinear. As a result phases two and three were chosen for today’s match and that...
