I headed out on Saturday AM to meet a WSF forum member to learn a bit about pumping lugworm. We met at about 7AM and proceeded out to the spot for the worms. During the time out there I managed about 70 worms which I was more than happy with, but nothing in comparison to […]

Flattie but not unhappy
I headed back to Bishopstone for an afterwork session. It was pretty windy down there which made reading the rod tip difficult. About 30 minutes after I started I spotted a twitch that didn’t look like it was caused by wind or wave. I waited for the next twitch and lifted the rod and wound […]

Selsey Success
Having headed to Selsey for about 7:30 to see high tide in at 9:45, I set up and cast out. I was using combinations of rag, crab and squid and nothing was seeming to want to bite. Eventually at 11:45 I was getting what looked like my lead had lost grip again, so I wound […]

Hayling Island – Langstone Side
I went to Hayling and parked in the car park next to the Langstone entrance. I walked along towards the front of the beach and set up near the entrance to the harbor due to too many people being around. I stayed here for a couple of hours and then after pulling in tonnes of […]

I headed to the lakes and arrived at about 5PM, so only had just over an hour of good light to fish with. The leaves were starting to cover the surface of the lake but the carp were still around the top and loved the biscuits that got thrown in. I managed to bag a whopping […]

I treated myself to a session of 4 fish at Chalk Springs in Arundel. I have been here before and love the very clear waters and also the fact its only 10 miles from home. I turned up at about 9am. The fish weren’t the easiest to catch but that all adds to the fun. […]

I headed out to Lamberhurst to have another crack at the surface feeding carp in the bottom lake. I arrived and the space I wanted was free. I started to fish at 10AM on the dot and didn’t have to wait long for the first fish. I hooked into a slightly sluggish 3lb Mirror at 10:10 which […]
Continue readingPattenden, First Double Figure Fish
I headed to Pattenden even though there was pretty high winds. I thought there should be enough cover to fish and I was right. The only thing was there was nit much action on the surface. I tried to get the fish to an area but only one turned up just after I arrived. I […]

I headed to Owls Castle Farm on Wednesday 7th July for a spot of Carping on the fly with dog biscuits. I arrived and parked up and chatted to the grounds man and a couple fishing in the bottom lake. They said there were plenty offish moving so i headed back quickly to set up […]
