    Crucian baits.

    It has been a long time since I fished for crucian carp but I have finally found a local water with some true crucians that are holding out against the odds against the presence of a large number of king carp which tend to beat them to my hook bait. The more tiny particles and crumb I use the...

    Grayling fishing on Welsh Dee?

    I'd love some advice here if anyone has any to offer. Way back in the early seventies I spent a while living in Snowdonia and occasionally did some grayling fishing on the Dee below Lake Bala. I now have a strong inkling to go back there for a visit next winter and also spend a few days trotting...

    My new website.

    Hi folks, After many months, if not years, of threatening to build my own website and a full three weeks of learning how to do it, I finally have it up and running. Basically the site is a gallery to my angling artwork. If such a thing is of interest to any of you, I'd be very pleased if you...

    Power Shot G6 problems and possible replacement?

    Unfortunately my Cannon Power Shot G6 seems to have given up the ghost with the LCD no longer working in various settings. Apparently Cannon no longer make spare G6 LCDs so it looks like I'm going to buy a replacement. The reason I bought a G6 was because of the flip around LCD function, though...

    Fishing in Crete?

    I've just booked a couple of weeks holiday in Crete well away from the popular holiday destinations. Our apartment is virtually on the beach with plenty of rocky coves nearby and also a small fishing harbour. So I am wondering will it be worth taking a travel rod with me. The little bit of info...

    New book 'Reflections'.

    It feels like it has taken me a lifetime to put it together but finally I have a new book finished and at the printers in preparation for publication next month. Entitled 'Reflections - Highlights From An Angling Life' the book is pretty much what it says on the cover, being a collection of...

    Bowsfishing carp.

    Well there's a thing, I've just been approached by an American bowfisher wanting to commission a painting of a carp to use as a logo for a bowfishing group. I've already made my own decision but was interested to hear how others would feel about getting a similar request?..... and what about if...

    Prawns for perch?

    Hi chaps. This winter I am keen to try catching a few big perch, a species I mostly neglected over the past 30 years. Mostly I'm likely to be fishing commercial stillwaters where livebaiting is banned so I'm considering my baiting options? I notice that a number of perch anglers use prawns...

    Cherry Hinton rudd

    I've been invited to a chalk pit at Cherry Hinton in Cambridge after rudd for a couple of days next month. I know the water holds some big ones. If anyone has any info about fishing this water they care to share with me, I'd be very interested? PM me would probably be preferable?

    Big Bass

    Getting a bit salty here. Last summer I caught the bass bug. While I had lots of small fish, I eventually started sorting out the bigger ones, or more precisely, I managed to hook but then drop off two big fish, due to hook pulls when using fresh mackerel heads as bait. My brother eventually...

    Other species threads?

    It is a pity there isn't an other species forum on here for those of us who are not strictly barbel specialists but also like to to target other species.
