  1. Bristol Docks Evening Series, 6/9/12

    Thursday evening match was the last in the current series, fished at Baltic Wharf. The water was typically clear for this time of year and with no wind it was a very pleasant evening to be fishing the docks.Top rod on the night was Andy Curry with 19lb 5oz of bream and skimmers, caught on the pole with groundbait and...
  2. Maver Mega Match This Final 2012

    Saturday was an amazing day for all the finalists and spectators, the atmosphere was electric, with £50,000 up for grabs I could sense the nerves when I spoke to the competitors. A large crowd added to the excitement and with Phil Briscoe and Andy Kinder on the PA system, it all added to a great day, even though you needed...
  3. Bristol Docks, Evening Series 30/8/12

    Thursday night match was hampered by the water level going up and down all night long, it was also very coloured making it very hard to present the bait correctly on the pole. The constantly changing level was probably due to water entering the dock from the river frome after all the rain we have had in the last few...
  4. Bristol Docks, Evening Series 23/8/12

    Thursdays evening match showed more promise than it produced, with overcast skies and no flow everybody was expecting the bream to feed, the weights looked good but the bream didnt feed until late into the evening, the anglers put their lights on around 8.15pm, yet some anglers couldnt catch untill after 9.30pm, which didnt leave a lot of time left...
  5. Division 1 National, Bristol Avon

    Saturdays Division One was a match I had mixed feelings about, whilst it was on my doorstep and have fished it for years I knew how patchy and moody this piece of water can be. My first 3 matches of the season I averaged over 60lb per match, the next 5, I never broke 7lb. The walks can be horrendous...
  6. Angling Trust Winter League Final, Partridge Lakes

    A new venue for this years final was met with a little uncertainty amongst my Dorking team mates, we didnt know what to expect, the weights looked good in the papers, but with a 3 hour drive to the venue and lots of other commitments our practice time was kept to minimum.I had never seen the venue until the thursday...
  7. Bristol Docks, Evening Series 9/8/12

    Thursday daytime was the best day this summer for sunbathing, and to spend the cool evening fishing at Baltic Wharf was glorious. Conditions were perfect for pole fishing, flat, a slight tow and a tinge of colour, yet the bream refused to come in on the pole line and stayed out on the feeder line, now that more anglers are...
  8. Kamasan Final, Barston Lakes 4/8/12

    55 of the top anglers in the country lined up at the clubhouse to fish for £1000 prize money. All the pre match talk was that you wanted to draw the far end of the lake as the wind had been blowing that way for days and all the anglers who had practiced had 'emptied it', so when I drew...
  9. Bristol Docks Evening Series 1/8/12

    This weeks match was back to Baltic Wharfe, most of the boats had left the docks after the harbour festival, and conditions looked good as there was a tinge of colour in the water, it was overcast and raining, ideal conditions for the skimmers to feed. 5 anglers broke double figures and the second to fifth place was very close...
  10. New Preston Method Feeder Flying Back Lead

    Preston Innovations have just launched a New method feeder flying back lead, it has been designed to reduce line bites when fishing up to islands or shallow margins. When you cast these back leads fly back up the line and pin the line on the bottom, where feeding fish cant touch it.The clever design allows these leads to be removed...
