Island Lake France

Posted on August 15, 2011

The Island Lake, France was the setting for Frank Warwick's DVD Warwick's Way with Carp.  Jacko has just returned from a holiday there and asked Mick Bowman to update on recent captures. Mick has informed me that the lake is doing really well at the moment with the fish ...

Bowler's Boilies from Richworth

Posted on August 15, 2011

Over the last few months I have been busily formulating a range of barbel baits that will be launched in early 2012.  So it was with much excitement that I watched the first batch of boilies roll off the production line as trials and field testing was ramped up another n...

Bream on Richworth

Posted on August 10, 2011

Read below to find out how Richworth helped me catch another great fish... Darkness fell across the skyline brining the curtain down on a glorious spring day and in response my kettle found a perch on a ring of fiercely burning gas heating the well worn vessel which in t...

Salmon On The River Nith

Posted on August 9, 2011

Bulk Shot Roach

Posted on July 16, 2011

‘Catching lots of fish is not necessarily a good thing’ – sounds like the words spouted by a mad man rather than an angler but bear with me and I will do my best to justify this claim. For the match or pleasure angler my logic is wasted and irrelevant but for the specime...

Shark Season Open

Posted on July 3, 2011

  Edging ever closer across the Atlantic comes the warm water fuelled by the Gulf Stream and in its wake comes a legion of sharks, thousands of them heading towards the rich hunting grounds of the Celtic Deeps.  With their skin the colour of blotting paper soaking u...

The 34lb Mirror

Posted on July 3, 2011

We all have our favourite items of tackle but nothing can be more important than the hook at the end of the other paraphernalia.  A lack of sharpness will mean that if you rely on a bolt rig you never receive a bite in the first place and then once this job has been done...
