Stalking Carp Using the Lift Float Method.
30/04/2021 Over the past month, I haven’t had the time to go fishing or write any blogs because I’ve been revising for my A levels. My last exam was yesterday (Thursday) morning. I got home at about half past eleven and enjoyed some lunch before my mum to drop me off at my local park…
The Great, Great Ormond St Match
11/07/2021 When a friend asked me to take part in a charity fishing match for Great Ormond Street Hospital that he was hosting, I jumped at the chance and signed up. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks after paying, another friend planned a trip up to London for his 18th birthday which was the same weekend…
How to Freeze Ragworm
19/11/2020 In my previous blog I mentioned that we were using frozen ragworm, left over from a previous trip. Due to popular demand and the fact I’ve been busy with school work and haven’t managed to get out fishing, in this weeks blog my dad and I will run you through our simple steps to…
Doggy Delight Down Dungeness
01/10/2020 That feeling the night before a fishing trip that you have been looking forward to is like no other and I wasn’t even experiencing the feeling as much as my dad. On both Monday and Tuesday, I had been fishing my local lake. My dad on the other hand hadn’t been fishing in over…
Slimy Surprises
30/07/2020 Last Thursday, my dad joined me on a 24 hour session to Chigborough fisheries in Heybridge, near Maldon. It was my second visit and his first. We were hoping to catch some stunning carp and beat my dads very poor PB of 15lb. I knew there were some stonking bream and tench present too…
Bass Action on the River Crouch
30/07/2020 I must have caught a few dozen ‘sea’ bass in my life before. Nothing massive, the biggest probably a couple pound. Most were caught on bait and a few were caught jigging feathers. I’ve always wanted to catch one on a lure, the light gear and constant movement involved in lure fishing is what…
A Trip to Chigborough
17/07/2020 A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to enjoy a trip to Chigborough farm and fisheries. I had visited once before to try a bit of fly fishing with a friend’s dad, but that was over a year ago. On this day, the target was carp, and my fingers were crossed for a…
My First Carp
10/07/2020 Now, I caught my first carp when I was 10 but I’ve always thought I never really caught it. It was a Nash open day at local lake, and the absolute legend that is Alan Blair handed me the rod, with a carp on the other end. Before this, I had only ever caught…
A ‘Lucky’ First Trip
