Drop shotting with worms is always a productive method no matter what time of year or weather conditions What fish can resist a worm dangling in front I had a couple of hours in Manchester City Centre with my friend Phil – watch the video below to see how we got on. Up soon, a […]
I’ve been prowling the house like a caged beast these past few months. My local rivers have been bank high and unfishable nearly all winter, the wind and rain has been incessant, and my mojo for fishing in cold, wet, windy horrible conditions non existent.
