    Flavours for roach

    Sounds like you’ve re-found the magical joy we all experienced when starting fishing but lose to some extent as we battle for larger fish. Enjoy it & make the most out of it. Canal fishing can be very good at times, especially now they are largely left alone thanks to commercials. I went on my...

    Not up to the usual standard. I usually enjoy them, especially the Daniel Woolcott films. Good quality & interesting to watch. Young Alfie has caught some belting Perch tho!

    Anguilla book by NAC

    Lucky to have just received my copy of the new book on Eels ‘Anguilla’ by the National Anguilla Club. What a book! The size of it warrants a mention to start with as its as thick as a phone book (600+ pages!) First impression, it must be one of the most comprehensive single species books ever...

    Black Friday deal Snugpak SJ9

    I originally had the SJ but it was like a bomber jacket and rode up at the back when sat down. I’ve now got the FJ and can’t recommend it enough. From Oct - May, i never take it off (when fishing of course!). Just been the lakes and it was freezing with a 30mph wind and i was never cold. Just a...

    Flavours for roach

    Pineapple does it for me! The old (90’s)10mm solar pineapple pop ups were a killer for Tench, Bream & Roach and have stuck to it ever since (N-butric acid type)

    Please ignore - Drennan Avon 1.25lb 11ft

    For you Drennan Vertex fans, i noticed that they have brought out a 15ft float rod. It’s on the Drennan Youtube channel (November 25 tackle launch)

    How much are you prepared to spend…

    How much are you prepared to spend…

    No thanks, i don’t own any now. Never liked the LD’s either tbh. Get rid asap if i were you as the market for them is dying off (literally!). SX & TV’s were going for ridiculous amount's 10-15 years ago but none of the kids want them now. At some point the youngsters might pull their pants up...

    How much are you prepared to spend…

    That was the last photo of the day. We’d had really good, sunny weather all day the decided to have one last photo before the rain started and was caught just as i looked up and said “here comes the rain” Was a great day and consider myself a lucky lad. We’ve known each other since the age of 4...

    How much are you prepared to spend…

    I’d pay anything to go on any of my favourite lakes how they were back in the early 80’s through to mid 90’s! I travelled far & wide mainly after Tench & Bream and loved the solitude and pioneering spirit i felt (even though most had been fished before me obviously!) Seems like every venue is...

    Sorry for boring you but just noticed i’ve used same pictures as i used last time (forgot as it was so long ago!) It’s the only pics i’ve got on my phone 🤦🏻‍♂️

    How much are you prepared to spend…

    That was my last one (‘62 series 2) full nut & bolt. Have given up now as dont really enjoy riding them these days, road condition & traffic speed (or just getting too old!). This is one of my wedding photos (Brighton)

    Stunners! Always fancied doing a ‘Skelly’ but never got round to it.

    Fishflix Fishing Tv

    Must have gone up this month. Still worth it for the initial binge as theres more than a tenners worth of good viewing. I’ll probably leave it for a year or so now as i’ve watched most things. 👍

    You watch & download via the app but have to buy & cancel via the website (i buy the £7.99 per month option, then cancel it almost straight away so that i just get 1month viewing a couple of times a year when there is enough new material to watch)
