I spent a great day fishing with Neil (aka Miggy). After a week or so without fishing i was itching to get out again and an agreed 8am start saw us on the banks of Square Pit in Hindley. I have fished this small lodge before with Tony and caught some lovely Rudd and Crucian […]

As the title of this post tells you, i havnt been able to go fishing recently. School holidays, decorating and visitors from abroad have kept me awayfrom the riverbanks. I have attempted to make two trips recently but have had to canel both at the last minute due to DIY commitments. However a trip to […]
I spent a couple of hours fishing the river at “the cliff” yesterday evening. It started chucking it down as i was setting up, and as usual the river coloured immediately and started to rise. (a good six inches in two hours). I started off trotting maggots through the faster waters at the top of […]
When we asked Matt which lake he wanted to fish on our second day, he of course wanted to fish the lake we had fished the previous day. A quick trip to the local village to purchase every tin of sweetcorn we could find and we were away. I caught 10 carp in the first […]
Monday morning saw Big Dave, Matt and myself setting off down to Shropshire to a commercial complex which Dave invited us to. Matt has never really got amongst the carp before and had been looking forwards to this trip for ages. There are 5 lakes at the complex all of which contain large numbers of […]
I had a short couple of hours on my local river this afternoon, and found the water levels very low. I fished what has recently become my favoured swim, and after a slow start caught some small roach, chub and gudgeon – standard fare for this stretch of the river. About an hour into the […]
Photo above is Matts making a bream face – not a bad impression! Took a trip to Bradshaw Hall this afternoon with Matthew, Big Dave and Matts friend from rugby James, his father Paul and a first time angler Pat – a real motley crew! As always when taking youngsters and first timers fishing, the […]
Tonight i tried out a new tackle combination which was forced upon me as on arrival at the river bank, i opened the boot of the car to see all of my gear minus my rod. Not the best start to the evening. As so often happens midweek, i am so eager to get out […]
I took a trip up to the River Ribble yesterday afternoon, to see if i could catch any fish from the “hot” swim which has produced big barbel, chub and sea – trout. On reaching the river bank i really fancied my chances of getting amongst the fish, as the weather was glorious, the river […]
Despite the title of this post being “fishing in tenerife” i only managed to get out for one short session during the week i spent in Playa de Las Americas. The sun was hot, the beer was cold, the snorkelling fantastic and fishing was soon forgotten about. I did manage just the one early morning […]
