    Gudgeon rod

    I love my 11ft Korum Allrounders (1.25TC) and aside from my Zandering, I use them for pretty much everything. A few months ago on a commercial pond whilst my young lad was landing a few small Stock Carp and Rudd, I managed to get tucked into a school of decent Gudgeon. They were all of a...

    Stunning Zed (and picture) mate.

    Grayling

    I love them and usually enjoy a couple of trips each year to a small English river not too far from me, to fish for them. I went both last Sunday and the week before and during freezing conditions, trotting maggots I managed a couple dozen to 1lb 10oz (PB). They fight like little troopers, I'd...

    Zander

    I know what you mean regarding your resolve Mick. I haven't put anywhere near the effort you have into the Canals, mainly because where I live I'd be driving past some of the finest Zander fishing available in the Country and that's a really hard sell, especially when conditions are good. I...

    Zander

    Phenomenal fish Mick, congratulations! I read your story and for your efforts and the capture, you deserve a round of applause mate. I've dabbled a bit on the Midland canals over the years and have had them to 8.11, a double from one of those waters would be a fantastic capture! Very well...

    No more barbel no more carp

    I like a trip or two Grayling fishing in the winter but Zander are my staple go-to fishing target, I caught my first nearly 30 years ago and never tire of catching this most enigmatic of fish. However, if I really had to choose another fish to target, I think it would be a decent winter Roach...

    Fish you have seen that have blown you away but never caught

    Nearly 5 years ago I returned in my boat to the marina on the river around lunchtime on a scorching hot August day. As I carefully manoeuvred my boat onto its pontoon I saw a couple of Carp (or so I thought) cruising near the surface, 4 or 5ft off the walkway. Nothing unusual about that I...
