How not to do it!!

Well i fell in......

yeh yeh all laugh!! i fell in today, was leanin over the edge to get past some weed wen what i thought was grass turned out to be just floating grass and ended up falling strate in up to my chest in water!! it was bloody freezing and glad i have the correct gear to keep me nice and warm!!

on a serious note, this is not the first time iv fallen in on a canal etc. and if it was in flood or i was weighted down i could of really been in trouble!! its soooo easy to just get carried away with ya fishing and not concentrate on where you put your feet!!

so just please please be aware of where you are and if possible go out with a buddy so wen these very funny things happen you have help if needed, if not to at least take a picture and laugh lots!!

Savage Lures.....

Pro-Logic have released a preditor range its called Savage.....

theye make al sorts from lures to dead baiting gear!! all the terminal tackle your need for the job! first impression is very good with the lures, a few changes to some of the soft plastics but all in all very good lures!

the lures that have caught my eye are the 4play lures in 13cm and 19cm..... there are Very robust and the paint work and detail is super good and for less than a Tenner you cant go wrong!

other lures in the range that i will be testing are all lookin tip top! but time will tell!

Wrassin with Henry

Wrassing around.....


well me and Henry Gilbey managed to head out for a much needed Wrassin session!! it was a pleasure to fish with Henry again and we have lots planned when the pike and perch show there wintery heads..... we headed out to Long quarry, which is my fav summer fishing spot with deep blue water around ya and gorgeous scenery as well as awsome fishing if you know when and where to fish!!

we started off the session by getting right into it with me rigging up my usuall bomb proof wrasse rigs, as soon as it hits the bottom "bang" there nailing the bait good old wrasse style! i literally had a slam every drop and nearly every drop came a nice wrasse, most bein tackers but all good fun! then while i carried on wrasse bashing Henry started shootin shots of various Bass lures for his modern Bass fishing series in Sea Angler.

we moved over various little coves and outcrops where wrasse where everywhere, we managed to pull some better wrasse out to around 3lb but still lots of little buggers! i lost a fair few decent fish which i just couldnt stop!!..... i was using just plain simple rag worm, thats the trick when wrassin everyone makes it soooo complicated its silly all you need is a decent strong spinning rod and decent reel and some good line! i use a 9ft Shimano Diaflash XT extra heavy spinning rod rated to 100gm and 4000 or 5000 size Shimano stradic loaded with berkley whiplash 30lb braid with 30lb mono leader.... thats all ya need!!

we fished most of the day with wrasse coming from every nook and cranny it was amazing fun and there was smiles all round!! hope you guys like the photos and maybe u guys should try to catch this fun summer fish its dead simple and they fight like stink!!

thanks again Henry your a Legend please check out www.henry-gilbey.co.uk

Putsborough Childrens

Charity match 2008

well we headed up to Putsborough for some Ray bashing for the Bristol childrens hospital charity Match.

with 45 anglers Turning up all from the WSF and most of us knowing each other from the forum, it was a good Bunch of Lads mostly local with a few from Cornwall and a chap from wales.... nearly everyone caught EXCEPT me..... didnt even get a soddin bite! :-( with Bass being caught mostly and the odd Ray showing, the conditions wer spot on! a hour before low water and i was ready and eager to wack into some Raymonds....

Then the good old sky cleared and ruined the fishing, the moon was shining and you didnt even need a head lamp! this killed the ary fishing with only schoolys and a sly smoothound showing, that was it! a lad next to me sneaked a tiny 6oz red gurnard!

My Dad on the other hand managed to blag himself a 6lb conger which happened to b the biggest fish caught winning him the biggest fish cup.... was not happy! well the match finished with everyone having a great night even though i didnt even ahve a bite! never mind next time hay
