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?

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.”

Retrieve with speed?

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.

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.

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?”
