Two Good Days At Tunnel
After doing a lot of silverfish matches recently, it was nice to spend the weekend back at Tunnel Barn chasing some carp and F1s. Saturday I was 4th overall on the 39-peg open with...

Another Half-Term Mini Mission
Unusually for this stretch of the Thames, we never spotted any fish in the gin-clear water on our latest little mini mission. It felt like winter has come extra early as it’s normally alive...
Half-Term Fun
Half-term fun! Just 40 minutes on the canal with the lure rods. Plenty of sunken branches hooked that had blown-in, a few squirrels from wayward casts and, finally, a chunky little Zander to pose...
Third, But No Golden Ticket
Just the one match this very stormy weekend, which was the AT Silverfish qualifier at the Glebe. I’ve won Lake 5 and was 3rd overall with 41lb of skimmers. The weather was shocking, with...
Bolo Wag Hemp Wheat & Tares!
Float fishing for roach using hemp, wheat and tares. Alternating between bolo and waggler setups on a free stretch of the River Thames. This has to be one of the all-time greatest ways to...
Second Round Winner
A pretty decent weekend targeting commercial silvers. Saturday I was at Meadowlands for the Fish South qualifier. I’ve drawn peg 40 on the Pump Bank of Lambsdown with every peg in. Sadly only found...
A 5-Hour Special
My latest Channel Members film highlights some fish-a-chuck action in a very special five-hour film! It’s the first round of the Packington Silvers League, with anglers split between Big Gearys and a very clear...
Up N Down At The Barn
Had an up and down three days on the winter festival at Tunnel Barn. First day I could not have drawn much worse with peg 26 on Top Pool. Been on this peg countless...
A Hectic Few Days
First chance to report back from Wednesdays’ AT Silverfish qualifier at Meadowlands. Had 37lb for nowhere! The place fished its brains out for skimmers although the carp were rather active too. Very well done...
Amazing Whip Fishing Action!
A memorable session on the River Thames, catching lots of roach, perch, dace and bleak on the whip. Minimal tackle, a budget whip and a handful of bait is all that’s required. So simple...
Another Near Miss At The Bowl!
Back on the commercial silverfish campaign at the weekend. First up was my first ever trip to Marsh Farm, down in Surrey, for the Fish South Silvers qualifier. Very impressive looking venue and it...
