Well the tench season was OK other than catching the very big fish early on the very first session at 9lbs 14oz. Eventually she came out at weights of 11.7 and 11.8 to 2 different anglers. Then I went of to Cape Verde for a couple of weeks shark fishing only to find none there. […]

After the last session where things improved I was feeling confident again at catching more tench. I arrived to find the swim I wanted taken by James a lovely fellow tench fisher. He was leaving in the evening so I wasn’t in a hurry to set up anywhere else. So we chatted mostly about the […]

So after the short session and the pain of having to get a new boiler I was back on the lake once more. I arrived to find that the algae had risen to the surface of the lake and it looked just like a lawn. In places it was so thick it was impossible to […]

The weather hadn’t cheered up too much over the last week. There were still cold nights with the occasional frosts at night. I arrived to find the summer bay area pretty quiet. I set up at 10am and was fishing one rod on worm the other on maggot. The bay seemed to be devoid of […]

With a big fat blank after big perch I couldn’t wait to start my tench fishing season. This normally starts around the beginning of April or thereabouts. It really depends on the weather and how warm it’s been. This year I’m back on familiar territory and fishing a large lake once again. The area I […]

Once a year I normally have a day fishing on the Dever Springs Fishery. It stocks with extremely large brown trout and a good average size of rainbows. I was to fishing with Ross and Mike a couple of guys I had fished with before. Now I don’t normally have the equipment for these fisheries […]

The river season ended with a blank so hardly ideal, however I’ve enough big fish to satisfy my mind. it’s this time of year where I start to think about perch fishing on some of the lakes around me. Normally these lakes are deep and very large large and the perch are late in spawning. […]

The wind and rain lashed down all morning. I fished so many swims from all around the fishery drawing a complete blank. The fishery was empty of anglers probably due to the river and weather conditions. It wasn’t the best of sessions for both Andy and I. Still what a season I have had. Some […]

I was delighted at catching no 17 chub over 6lbs the previous day. I reflected on the fishing and decided to start very early today. The forecast was for very strong winds of 60mph and heavy rain from early morning. I was on the river at 7am thinkng that I would get a small window […]
