Catch summer carp with surface baits
The warmer weather is here, so on bright sunny days I love to catch summer carp with surface baits. It’s really exciting as you can often see the carp about to take the bait, then swirling away at the last moment. It can be frustrating but then, a few minutes later, another carp is swimming…

Winter Carp Fishing
I decided to kick off the year by doing something a bit different to my lure fishing and trotting. I’ve done a bit of river carping this year, but not really fished for them much at all and I really fancied it! It was an epic little trip that saw me land a few stunning…

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. It’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…

River Carp Fishing
I’ve fished for carp in lakes for just about as long as I can remember. Some sessions have brought me great memories and some fantastic fish to over 40lb. In recent years though I’ve been intrigued by river carp fishing. The fact that nobody can be sure of what’s swimming around in front of you!…

You Learn More When You’re Getting Bites!
Each year in late Late March / April I drop onto a nice little local club lake. It’s not exactly challenging fishing, and so I’m sure some people would wonder why I do this. In my opinion, you learn more when you’re getting bites – it’s that simple!

Tench Fishing in Hertfordshire
It’s fair to say that I’m at a bit of a loss when the rivers close mid-March. Through the winter, I will have been on the river consistently chasing Perch and Chub, and suddenly all that is taken away. Having said that, I’m all for the closed season. It’s good to give them a rest,…
