Posted by Chris Plumb in Chris Plumb's Blog, 23 May 2013 · 9 views

Another book review - and a bit of a minority interest methinks!

By Frederick Buller
 
A curious and rather unusual book that will fascinate anyone interested in Angling history – of which I thinks ther...

Stillwater float fishing

Seven Lakes Angling 07:00-18:00

The day started off nice enough with some sunshine so I settled down with a quivertipped cage feeder while I had breakfast, switched over to the float rod after a few hours of nothing, balled in some groundbait and a few freebies and sat it out....nothing still.
Decided to move to one of the smaller ponds containing small...

Back with a bang.

24th-25th April - Berkshire Lake
 
As I've mentioned previously I'd become disillusioned with the carp scene towards the back end of last year and thus hadn't been since early December.  
I hadn't really missed it much at all, but I did notice the carp at work becoming far more active every day.  Add to that a few catch reports t...

12th April 2013: A blank expression

Posted by AddictedToScopex in AddictedToScopex's Blog, 12 April 2013 · 49 views

So today saw me hitting a brand new water on a brand new card. I joined a club that I have waited many years to join last week so I wanted to make the most right away and try one of their waters. It was a small sized and very natural looking lake. A very nice quiet place to be. Sadly it was to be that way with the fish too but nevertheless I enjoyed being...

8.4.13 Charlie's Lake, Andover

Posted by The Flying Tench in The Flying Tench's Blog, 08 April 2013 · 74 views

5.30 - 8pm An attempt for some roach in a commercial fishery.Someone was saying in the tackle shop that the canal temperature at the weekend had been 2degC, and only perch had been coming out, so I wasn't expecting too much. In fact the WT wasn't too bad - 8degC - and I had about 25 roach on float-fished maggot. Mostly small, the best about 6oz, but...

Rusty's retrospective

Posted by Rusty in Rusty's Blog, 24 March 2013 · 105 views

Disruption is the word that springs to mind when I look back over the past season. After a bone dry winter relief (from an angling point of view) came in the form of heavy rain leading up to June 2012, as you would expect this bolstered levels and provided some temporary respite for the struggling Kennet. Only the respite didn’t turn out to be tempo...

Chilly day for carp....

Posted by kirisute in Kirisute's Blog, 02 March 2013 · 286 views

But that didn't stop us!!Started at Reepham fishery just after 8:30.The fishery consists of a large square lake that is connected to a "wilder" lake via a channel. The "wild" lake makes for very pleasurable fishing with its many cut backs and reed beds. Plenty of features to fish to.My father, brother and I headed to that lake, getting into a swim large e...

Posted by Maddog in Colin's Fishing Blog, 16 February 2013 · 240 views

So it was time for the last match of the   Verulam Angling Club  championship season.  Going into this match I was in second place in the league. There are 15 matches in the season and your best 10 results count. The leader of the league (AllanB) had 840 points and I was on 795, my lowest counting score was 45 so I knew that if I could win...

9th February - River Kennet

Posted by Paulg in PaulG's Blog, 13 February 2013 · 139 views
kennet, chub

As Rusty alluded to in his most recent blog, there would be three reports from the same outing on 9th  Febraury….and following on from Chris, this is the last. The reader may think that being the last to be published means it has taken the longest to write and is therefore likely to be a work of literary genius. However…..it probably isn...

Posted by Nicholas S in Nicholas S' Blog, 25 February 2011 · 1,112 views

After receiving the all clear from my girlfriend I set about organising a fishing weekend that I was really looking forward to. Saturday was to be spent on the Little River Avon (LRA) in search of Grayling and the icing on the cake was Sunday where I had been invited down to fish the hallowed waters of the Test. I would be trotting the main river (the las...

Bay Slinging

20 July - Ilfracombe, Devon.  Chucking gripper leads into the surf.I had a single morning of the second part of the family holiday visting friends in which I decided I would try and catch a bass or a thornback.  The nearby beach was good for both apparently, and I had caught bass and doggies here before on the rising tide.  This was a two centre holiday v...

Sea Kayaking

Well I hope to spend more time in the boat tomorrow. Going to Caswell Bay, Gower. Can't wait to catch some kippers; although stability is giving me some concern! I don't mind falling in the drink but find getting back in scrapes my shins to the bone. Never mind Captin Ahab is my role model and nothing put him off.Smell ya later dudes

Saturday May 16th 2009. Will I ever learn?

Posted by OwdTrout in OwdTrout's Pursuit of Brown Spotty Fishisessess, 17 May 2009 · 490 views

Alan arrived first at the river and had three or four fish before I joined him. While he got a brew on I had a cast, taking one of the rivers natural population. It was too small to be one of the stockies being only 7 inches long. After refreshment we headed downstream. Soon I was thankful that I had remembered my waterproof. Today the rain was a good thi...
