Trigger Happy by Mark Radcliffe | Sep 9, 2017 | Internationalisation, UKOne of my favourite things when kayak fishing is targeting new and unusual species. The opportunity doesn’t arise too often, but a few weeks ago on a kayak fishing meet in Cornwall there were reports of the odd trigger fish having been caught from Portreath....
Two from Two by Mark Radcliffe | Jun 27, 2017 | Internationalisation, UKLast weekend saw the second of the saltwater species hunting tournaments in the U.K., the Ocean Kayak Classic in Plymouth. The format is always the same for these popular tournaments. They are catch and release events where you have to catch as many different species...
My First Win of the Year by Mark Radcliffe | May 30, 2017 | Internationalisation, UKLast weekend saw the first of the UK’s big tournaments, the Swanage Classic sponsored by Hobie, Daiwa and others.

Smashing a P.B. by Mark Radcliffe | Mar 26, 2017 | Internationalisation, UKA twenty pound pike has been one of my targets for the last two seasons. I’ve put in the hours, and the miles looking for this fish and last season came so close with two fish over 19lb. This season I had the pleasure of seeing my fishing partner catch two...

And so it begins…. by Mark Radcliffe | Jan 19, 2017 | Internationalisation, UKOne of the first thing I do in the new year is to start putting all of the upcoming tournaments, events meets and social’s into the diary. In the UK it is now impossible to attend everything because there is just too much, but I do my best to get to as many as...
Ending 2016 on a high. by Mark Radcliffe | Jan 9, 2017 | Internationalisation, UKWe have a bit of a tradition of trying to fit in a social fishing session between Christmas and the New Year. If possible a handful of us try and get out onto a new water and this year I was fortunate enough to have negotiated kayak fishing access on one of my local...
Old Father Thames by Mark Radcliffe | Oct 9, 2014 | Cuda, UKThe River Thames is on my door step, a magnificent river that I have match fished from the bank many times but never launched a kayak onto. Myself, Keith Ward and Jim Marsh had been discussing a trip on it for nearly two years but we just never got around to it....

VIDEO- Ladram Bay by Mark Radcliffe | Oct 4, 2014 | Cuda, UKA short video of my final morning at the Angler Afloat Ladram Bay Meet in the UK.

A Bit of Bassing Redemption by Mark Radcliffe | Sep 29, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing, UKAfter my poor weekend at the Scarborough Kayak Fishing Tournament I wanted a good session just to prove to myself that I can still catch fish. As I was at my parents the obvious venue choice was the Humber Estuary and the target was bass. Over the years I have learnt...
Scarborough – The Quest for Cornelion. by Mark Radcliffe | Sep 28, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing, UKLast Thursday I headed up to Scarborough for the annual kayak fishing competition. Meeting up with Dave and Ian in evening it was decided that because of the winds the venue would be changed to the South Bay. Now I have never fished the South Bay before but had read...
