The final event of the year takes place in Poole Harbour and is the Flounder Hunt – competing for the...
Deep Water – Big Fish by Mark Radcliffe | Oct 12, 2019 | Fishing, Fishing Feature, Fishing Reports, Internationalisation, Kraken, UKThere are some fishing trips that start as a one off event to target a single species, but then end up as an annual thing with good friends. One such for me is an annual trip to Crinan in Scotland targeting the Common Skate. Despite its name there is nothing common...

Chasing the Plaice by Mark Radcliffe | May 14, 2019 | Fishing, Internationalisation, UKThe UK has a great tournament scene for kayak anglers, offering a variety of formats, venues and styles of fishing. Some of these have very large prize tables and attract up to 150 kayak anglers from around the country. Others have no prize at all but are fought over...

Fishing in the fog by Mark Radcliffe | Jun 3, 2018 | Fishing, Internationalisation, UKNormally I would never think of launching in the fog but once in a while, when everything else seems perfect I’ll go for it and often when you take these chances it pays off. The last few weeks have seen me fishing Clacton on the east coast of the UK. Initially the...
The Start of Summer by Mark Radcliffe | Apr 26, 2018 | Fishing, Internationalisation, UKOne of the first signs of summer on the U.K. fishing scene is the much-anticipated arrival of the bream.

A Guide to River Piking by Mark Radcliffe | Nov 11, 2017 | Fishing, Internationalisation, UKOctober is traditionally the start of the winter piking season, and a time that I usually change my approach from lures to dead baits.

This is a bucket...
Mullet Madness by Mark Radcliffe | Sep 17, 2017 | Fishing, Internationalisation, UKI’ve been meaning to make a mullet fishing video for a while now, but this most elusive of fish has never played ball. That all changed at the weekend when I got everything right and had 13 mullet in three hours, helping me win the Christchurch Grand Slam...
