The highlight of my week has to be the coaching day I spent with Tony and Barry at the ever impressive Tunnel Barn. I gave them a morning demo and then we opted for a couple of nice swims on Top Pool to put things into practice. The fish were very obliging, especially down the margins. Two lovely characters and the catch shot at the end was just a fraction of what they caught ..read more

Returning to the canal a couple of days after my first encounter with thousands of caterpillars. This time it’s an evening session, armed with maggots… and surrounded by slugs and snails! Missed my earlier session? Watch it here ..read more

I was really looking forward to the Tunnel Barn Mayfest as I rarely fish all three days on a Bank Holiday, but got special permission this month for good behaviour! I’ve had a proper up and down week leading up to this, topped off by having to hire a van as mine’s playing up… so I needed to win something just to pay for that!  On to the fishing and Day 1 I’ve drawn peg 20 on Top Pool and with the wind hacking down the opposite end I feared the worst. I’ve had 60lb of little uns and two muggers for 10lb which was 2nd in section. However the ‘bowl’ has been rigid with Ryan Watson’s 187lb wi ..read more

The latest film in my Channel Members section is an in-depth rundown of each day of the Guru Festival, which saw 116 anglers competing at White Acres, down in Cornwall. Had some very good feedback from this, which is encouraging as it’s basically just me waffling for over an hour! Not a member yet? Click here to learn more ..read more

Just had a really nice week down at White Acres on the Guru Festival… apart from the rather fresh and bloody windy weather! I usually draw a bit rubbish on Day One so was over the moon to finally get a flyer in the shape of peg 17 on Twin Oaks. The right end of the lake and slightly more fishable than all the pegs to my left in the 40mph gusts. I’ve had an epic day catching 210lb to blitz the lake and the biggest weight of the week.  About 90lb on the method feeder with maggots and Bandum wafters, two on meat short and the rest down the edge on maggots over micros and Match Method Mix. Ha ..read more

Yet more wet and windy weather (and a few rainbows) at Meadowlands on yesterday’s afternoon match. Thankfully I was on peg 31 on Warren with the wind off my back, but it was still horrible! The whole lake’s really switched off so my 94lb was enough for the win. Match organiser Wayne Sharman was second with 75lb 8oz on peg 15 and Dave Roberts was 3rd with 75lb 6oz from peg 23. I had four or five on the bomb and pellet and Bandum Wafters, one short on pellet and eventually found seven down the edge on corn or maggots. Nice to get the big boy red 18-20 Slik stretched for the first time this seaso ..read more
