    Carp fishing on the surface

    Fancy catching a carp before breakfast? – me too. I love short, early morning sessions in the summer, carp fishing on the surface with mixers or bread. Itโ€™s exciting stuff, getting the fish feeding confidently and catching them off the top. You can view a full video of this session and my approach to Barbel Fishing on…


  • Chub Fishing with Lures

    Chub Fishing with Lures

    I love using floating crankbaits on the river for chub, and not just in the winter months, Iโ€™ve found lures work really well in warmer conditions too. At the start of the season, I decided to spend more time on the River Lea fishing for chub fishing with lures. I like the way the chub…

  • Tench Fishing with the Method Feeder

    Tench Fishing with the Method Feeder

    The Method Feeder and pellets has been very effective for me when natural baits are attracting too many nuisance fish. It’s late spring and I went from using worms and maggots to adopting an all pellet approach to land some cracking fish from a new venue. You can view my Tench Fishing with the Method…

    Lure Fishing for Chub – Salmo Rattlin Hornet

    It’s March 2020 I’ve just discovered the awesome Crankbait that is the Salmo Rattlin Hornet, a first class lure for Chub fishing. We’ve just been through some terrible conditions this winter just gone. It wasn’t cold, in fact it was quite mild but there was rain and flooding like I can never remember! Frequently I…


  • Float Fishing for Pike

    There is very little that’s more exciting in fishing than seeing a float slip away, knowing that an absolute beast of a Pike might be on the end! Float fishing for Pike is something that I look forward to each Winter. This article covers a magic little session I had on a large Lea Valley…


  • Perch Fishing The Ned Rig

    Perch Fishing The Ned Rig

    In my opinion, one of the most devastating rigs when fishing for big Perch is The Ned Rig. Once you’ve found a few fish then this really is the rig to reach for when finesse fishing for Perch. This article covers how I use the Ned Rig and the Korum Squirmz to land Perch, including…


  • Pike Fishing with Deadbaits

    Pike Fishing with Deadbaits

    This article covers a day session Pike fishing with deadbaits in the Lea Valley. Generally, I am a lure angler but after a long winter of lure fishing for Perch it was quite nice to relax and fish with deadbaits. It didn’t end up very relaxing at all and was quite an action packed session.
