Who else had an amazing 16th June? Here’s mine! It didn’t go entirely to plan as the carp were spawning on arrival, so I switched things up and fished in 3 different locations. A bunch of Chub, a Barbel and a lovely little Gudgeon. Good luck for the rest of the season! 😁

Back from a fantastic family holiday yesterday afternoon, chucked the family in the house 😂 straight to the lake. Phew, they’re not spawning. Only one method for me in these conditions. About 45mins of baiting up with mixers before they were confident enough. My little Opportunist 8fter sent out a Surface Bomb. Nailed this stunning common before slipping it back and rejoining the family. Itch scratched....and breathe! 😂🎣

Not been carping much recently so was great to get out this morning. Baited 3 spots with @sonubaits pellet and corn before then moving to a different part of the lake to try to get one off the top with my little 8fter. A cricket bat common fell to bread on a megaband, then I lost a decent one further out using the Korum Surface Bomb. Things dried up on the surface, but fortunately I’d primed those 3 spots on arrival. This mirror came from the 2nd spot, the CodeRed hookbait was in the water for less than 10mins. Always have a Plan B! 😉

TBT ... A couple of years back and a river carp with skin like sandpaper. Location aided by bike and captured with simple little ‘margin style’ rigs. This was the first in a run of stunning carp from the River Lea across a few weeks.

The Combi Feeder has transformed my Tench fishing this year. Fished on a Heli Rig in two different ways

- Keep the ends on the feeder and fill it with red maggots

OR (my favourite)

- Fish it open with worms or maggots plugged with @sonubaits Krill & Squid groundbait.

I’ve just got some more 45g Combi Feeders which I’m going to introduce into my fishing for other species too. It’s quickly becoming an essential piece of tackle for me 👌

A drop in temperatures, rain and extreme winds definitely affected the tench fishing on the 24hours session we just had. Things were tougher but it didn’t stop us getting a few nice Tincas, including a PB for Dan! Same methods again as shown in my recent video, a super consistent way to catch tench like these. Link in the bio. Very enjoyable session, definitely looking forward to summer now though!!

It kicked off big style for me yesterday on a lake thats quite new to me. It’s been quite tricky for big Tench recently but yesterday I landed 7 decent fish in an afternoon session. @korumfishing Heli Kit, worm kebab, chopped worm in the feeder plugged with @sonubaits Krill and Squid, 2mm pellets and Crushed Hemp 🙌 I fished both rods tight on an area Spombed with maggots and casters. I put in bait after every fish. This resulted in several double takes as the shoal moved in to eventually clear me out completely.
Video to follow of this crazy, crazy session. 🎥 Feels like Spring might now have eventually arrived! 😁🎣

You can’t help but be impressed by the dimensions of big Bream. I was actually fishing for the big reservoir carp but I’ll gladly take a few of these along the way. Taken on @sonubaits Code Red boilies with their 6mm Spicy Sausage pellets.

TBT - About 4 years back and a very handsome mid 20 common from an Essex syndicate. I would turn up at the lake just before first light. Watch for showing fish and then chuck a couple of rods towards them with simple wafters + small mesh bags of boilie crumb. Didn’t always work but this day it absolutely did 😁👌

A nice Tench caught in my recent Early Spring Tench video. Link in the bio. Unbelievably snow was falling while playing this fish. We had four seasons in a one day! This time taken on @sonubaits 6mm Spicy Sausage pellets, scoulded and pressed into a flat bed feeder. Pop up fake corn, topped with a bit of red foam and 3 live red maggots. 😁

TBT. Going back to spring a couple years ago. A visit to The Sitch and a nice big 30+ mirror taken on a rare bait n wait weekend. A bulldozer of a carp, plucked from deep silt using wafters on helicopter rigs, a stunning venue that I’d never fished before.

TENCH FISHING - EARLY SPRING NOW ON YOUTUBE. LINK IN THE BIO.

It’s early spring and we’re tench fishing! A couple of sessions in early April and quite horrific weather conditions don’t stop us catching a few lovely Tincas for the cameras. We cover tips and tactic that are quite specific to this time of year, but can also work throughout the whole of spring.

We discuss methods, tackle and bait application to help you land more tench.

Thanks again for checking out the video. Good luck with your fishing!

A nice mirror taken the other week on a simple but strong Slip D, featuring a Grappler Supersteel in Size 6. I needed strong reliable tackle as I was fishing snags on the far margin. Little mesh bags of @sonubaits Spicy Sausage pellets in 6mm completed my little trap! Good luck if you’re out this weekend! 👍🎣

It’s not unusual for me to jet off somewhere warm at this time of year in search of some exotic species like this Amazon Red Tail Catfish from Thailand. Obviously that’s not going to happen this year but that’s fine, although wouldn’t mind the temperatures climbing here a little bit! 🥶

Blue skies and beautiful trout on the fly. Thanks for those that have checked out the latest video. I except that fly fishing isn’t for everyone but maybe give it a watch, it might just make you wanna give it a try! 😉 I’m currently sat behind a couple of carp rods, so will enjoy a few of those before targeting Tench I think. Enjoy the sunshine ☀️😉

FLYING FISHING FOR TROUT AND SPARTIC CHAR! NOW ON YOUTUBE. LINK IN THE BIO.
In this video we look at fly fishing for beginners. If you're new to fly fishing or have never tried fly fishing then this one is for you! We visit the fantastic Thornwood Springs fishery and catch lots of trout including Rainbow, Brown, and Blue Trout, before ending the video with some incredible Spartic Char. I'm not an advanced fly fisherman myself, but as always I'm keen to share what I know!

We look at some of the kit needed to try this amazing form of fishing - the rod, reel, line, tackle and flies. You really don't need much stuff to have a great day out fishing for these stunning creatures.

I hope you enjoy the video and it inspires you to give this a try.

My river carp campaign ended on this decent 20+ mirror. Short sessions and little traps were the successful method. Moving around the river in winter, often with a single Opportunist XTND rod. 45mins in each spot then move to try and locate these fish.
This mirror may not be as magnificent looking as some of the classic, dark, torpedo commons that inhabit the river, but I was very pleased to land this one, mainly because it meant I could stop! 😂 and try for a final big perch before the curtain fell.
A series of short sessions can be seen on YouTube - link in the bio. 😉🎣

I only go fly fishing a few times each year these days, so was very pleased to catch lots of trout yesterday. Maybe 20 fish across 4 different species of trout! Mainly caught on Buzzers and Damsels.
This is a Blue Trout, a first for me. I also had rainbows and brown trout but my day was complete when I caught a Spartic Char (which deserves its own post 😉).
Was chuffed to bits to see Dan land his first ever fly caught trout too!
If you’ve not tried fly fishing then give it a go. These things fight like crazy on light gear! You’ll love it, once you’ve come to terms with the fact that you’ll be constantly tangled up in your own line! 🤣

Rockin the red hat! As seen at the end of my river carp video. There was only one species I was going to target on my last river session of the season. I felt like I’d sacrificed a few of these due to my end of season river carp obsession. So felt completely privileged to be treated to this beauty just before the end 😁

RIVER CARP FISHING - NOW ON YOUTUBE. LINK IN THE BIO. A series of short sessions river carp fishing. A winter campaign that was demanding but rewarding. My obsession with landing a decent carp from the river very nearly wipes out last month or so of my river season! Typically I like to fish for Perch, Chub, Pike, Barbel and all sorts of other species but the river carp got into my head and fortunately we get a few bites.
.
I run through tackle and tips that I adopt for the carp on the river. Hope you all had a good end to the river season! Thanks as always for checking it out!

My very last fish of the river season yesterday. I actually had a cracking perch first thing that I’ll share on here soon, but for now this perfect little chub can steal the limelight 😁
Fun bit of school boy street fishing with @happy_fishing_times was a great way to close.
I hope you all had a fantastic end to the season. If you’re still out there then I hope you bag something magical just before the curtain falls.

Feels like I’ve sacrificed a few of these over the last month or so, as an unhealthy obsession with a winter river carp took hold! Not that I care, it’s the constant dilemma of an allround angler unfortunately. Too many species and not enough time!

So here’s one from a while back that you would definitely recognise again. A lovely split tail 3lber caught dropshotting well into dusk.

Maybe one more session before I bring this chapter to a close. Trying to find carp on the main river has been quite demanding. It’s been awesome, but demanding. I will heal myself on a lake somewhere soon, where it’s a bit more straightforward to locate fish. River carp video should launch Monday.

For those that watch the videos, thanks for your patience as I see out the rest of the river season. An opportunist capture triggered an end of season river carp campaign. It’s not been easy, fishing through freezing temperatures at times, but I’m glad to say I got a few bites. Looking forward to sharing this with you. Good luck for your final few days on the river. Thanks again for your support as always. 🙏🎣
