After a few days of our visit to Japan we had seen a taster of Tokyo and Osaka and the main culture shock apart from the obvious language and alphabet barrier was the noise. For somewhere with so little pollution anywhere in the form of litter and smog etc. The has amount of human introducedContinue reading “What they don’t tell you about Japan, blog 1. Noise”

Wastelands……. Or a chance for something different?
I used to think if you want to catch fish, you want deeper water…….. But the most productive fresh water spots I have found tend to be those that are almost swamplike. Shallow ugly spoilt wastelands! Might be just me….. I started freshwater fishing in late 2016 with a few blanks in the river Thames.Continue reading “Wastelands……. Or a chance for something different?”
A flash of silver. Another Catch and Cook story
Fishing is predictably unpredictable.I love catching fish, I love catching new species even more but sometimes you just have to target what you think is there in front of you, even if its not what you are really after. But then sometimes you have to throw it all out the window and ride the waveContinue reading “A flash of silver. Another Catch and Cook story”
Another alien? A catch and cook story.
So Owen has talked about fishing for squid for ages. Constantly reminding me that I said we would try for them one day (In my head, I meant from a boat). Then on my way to Devon (Plymouth), I put a message on a Facebook group asking if there were anything showing in numbers suchContinue reading “Another alien? A catch and cook story.”
How I was lured in.
When I bump into other anglers who don’t really fish with lures, they always call our approach ‘spinning’ based on the constant retrieve of a lot of our methods. For example they will normally look at my gear and ask….. “You just spinning then?” As those who have fallen into this inescapable trap will knowContinue reading “How I was lured in.”
How can I possibly species hunt when catching one species is so much fun?
Dilemma or what. One if my big targets for 2018 was a bigger species count. Yet 9 months in I’m not doing well at all. And to make it worse, when I have had the opportunities to fish, well I can’t stop concentrating on the first fish I catch even if it’s one I don’tContinue reading “How can I possibly species hunt when catching one species is so much fun?”
Aliens and predators….. An LRF story
This weekend past my lovely ‘wife to be’ was away for the day with the car. So it was time for a very local jaunt to a favourite fishing spot of ours. Devils Point, and more specifically A mark we call ‘Wrasse Rock’. I invited my future brother in law along to join me andContinue reading “Aliens and predators….. An LRF story”
Finally saw the Han Solo Movie.
I know…. Where have I been. But having now finally seen ‘Solo, a star wars story’ I can honestly say it was worth the wait. It wasn’t as epic as ‘The Force Awakens’ but was so much fun and packed full of cool details linking into the rest of the franchise. From the introductions ofContinue reading “Finally saw the Han Solo Movie. “
Deluded? Or is it #cominghome
What does #footballscominghome mean to You? Everyone seems to know the score, they’ve seen it all before. My prediction (dream) before the world cup started was that England could reach the final but would be beaten by a Brazil/France team which seemed to have plenty of talent to spare should we come up against them.Continue reading “Deluded? Or is it #cominghome”
Oh wait….. that’s not a perch!!!! My Magic Lure strikes again.
Friday night finally came around again, it hadn’t rained all week and as I walked through the door after work the future Mrs Russell was halfway through a movie I had no interest in watching. What a shame, I gùess I’ll have to go fishing….. Packing light once again I was ready to really tryContinue reading “Oh wait….. that’s not a perch!!!! My Magic Lure strikes again.”
