After what has felt like years but was only a few months of waiting I finally got the freshwater season started last Friday evening. Before heading to the local canal (which does observe the river close season) I spent a good 20 minutes in the garage pondering lure choices before taking almost everything I couldContinue reading “Retrieve with speed?”

Planning a species hunt.
The Osborne and Cragg 2018 Lure only species hunt is well under way with some contestants already well into double figures and from what I have seen, 1 person did so well in the first week he is probably unwatchable by all.
How to save on luggage size and weight if travelling to Japan! Toiletries etc. Don’t take them! Blog 4
For a simple (not fussy) man like myself who’s self hygiene regime consists of shower gel, a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, a toothbrush and tooth paste. I would honestly say you can get away with leaving your wash bag at home and just whacking a stick or can of deodorant in your hold luggage. EverythingContinue reading “How to save on luggage size and weight if travelling to Japan! Toiletries etc. Don’t take them! Blog 4”
Stranger Things…… Is this what the goonies would have been like if set on Prometheus?
After watching a whole series of Stranger things in 1 weekend, I’m not exactly here to slag it off. It rocks! Set in the early 80’s before I was even born it really shouldnt be that nostalgic for me but it is. Mentions of Risky Business, Dungeons and dragons, All The Right Moves, Atari, andContinue reading “Stranger Things…… Is this what the goonies would have been like if set on Prometheus?”
Cabin Fever?
When it started to get cold in 2017, I didn’t stop fishing, I just started wearing extra layers. I have read reports of cabin fever almost daily on Facebook groups and I just don’t know If it is getting to me or not. I am lucky to regularly have access to the Plymouth coastline whichContinue reading “Cabin Fever?”
January blues and February Fun.
With Owen leaving the country for few weeks in January I didn’t fit in any saltwater fishing trips. In fact I barely fished at all. I managed a handful of canal trips of about an hour each with only 3 small perch for my efforts all falling for small ecogear lures from the ‘Pocket in’Continue reading “January blues and February Fun.”
New years resolutions
It has taken me 11 days but I am finally making some New Years Resolutions. 1) Personal – Do something I enjoy every day. Life is short so enjoy it. 2) For others – I want to speak out when I believe others are bullying or just being out of order. Mainly on social mediaContinue reading “New years resolutions”
Plenty more fish in the sea…….. and rivers, canals, lakes etc. 2018’s targets.
As 2017 was fricken awesome in fishing terms. 2018 has to be target fillled and full of hope. Catch and release rules for sport fishemen in the EU seabass fishery means that I won’t be allowed to keep any bass this year. Which makes no difference to me as I have released all bass IContinue reading “Plenty more fish in the sea…….. and rivers, canals, lakes etc. 2018’s targets.”
Fishing for likes 😀. Social media and what I learnt in 2017.
After a terrible few years, I said at the end of 2016 I was going to start catching more fish. I am not an expert, or a tackle tart who is buying all the latest and expensive gear, or even a very gifted angler really. But in 2017 I hardly blanked at all and reallyContinue reading “Fishing for likes 😀. Social media and what I learnt in 2017.”
