Lapland 2014 – The Aman River system

by | Jun 15, 2014 | UK

The final leg of our Lapland trip was to explore the Aman River system. The river glides slowly through the forest for miles and miles occasionally opening up into huge reed fringed lakes with depths of up to 40m Unlike our other venues this area is fished for food by...

Day Two – Fishing in the midnight sun.

by | Jun 6, 2014 | UK

The second day in Blatnickelle was spent exploring the local river, and the local specialities. The morning we cruised the river and everybody was pulling out the resident pike. No monsters but plenty up to double figures in weight and all great fun.    ...

Swanage – A kayak anglers dream venue

by | Apr 30, 2014 | Fishing, UK

Swanage really is one of those perfect venues in the UK. It is a sheltered bay into which you can launch with most wind directions. There is a huge reef inshore and then deep sand just past that. In the spring, for just a few weeks very large Black Bream come into...

Chasing the Ray in Clacton – a video

by | Apr 29, 2014 | UK

Having acquired the Go Pro late last year I keep meaning to learn how to actually use it. The reality of the situation is that I enjoy my fishing too much and keep forgetting to turn the camera on and off every time something happens. Last week at Clacton I was pretty...

by | Apr 22, 2014 | UK

The Poole Bay Plaice Chase is in its second year in the UK. This is a fun competition with no prizes but gets everyone together and raises some much needed cash for the UK Heroes on the Water Charity. Plaice fishing has never been my forte. I have caught them and...

It had to happen..Thornback attack

by | Apr 19, 2014 | Cuda

For the last week or so all I have been hearing about were reports of the fantastic Thornback Ray fishing from Clacton. These fish arrive on the coast in numbers in spring and slowly spread out going further north, so you never know how long they will be in one place....

Floundering around on the River Teign

by | Apr 15, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing, UK

The River Teign is a blast from my past. It used to be known for its record breaking flounders and I spent many an hour standing on its shores hoping for a big one. I haven’t fished this venue since I was a teenager and then never from a kayak. The last time I fished...

In search of Ray

by | Apr 14, 2014 | Cuda, UK

I wanted to catch a Ray. Two options arose. Over the weekend I had been invited to meet up with a group of guys from the Solent Kayak Anglers forum. There had been reports of some big Thornbacks coming from that area. The other option was Clacton with Snapper and some...

Whiting, whiting and yet more whiting.

by | Apr 4, 2014 | Cuda, Saltwater Fishing, UK

It’s that time of year.. Most of the winter species have gone and the summer ones haven’t arrived yet so I’m a bit in limbo. I have to take advantage of the weather and get on the water but in my heart I know the fishing will be poor. I should be targeting plaice but...

The First Day of Summer

by | Mar 31, 2014 | Cuda, Fishing, Saltwater Fishing, UK

The clocks have gone forward, the first day of summertime and it actually feels like summer. Should I go fishing ? It would be rude not to.. Left home at a ridiculous time of the morning to go to Torbay. Popped into the relatives to say hello, pick up some bait and I...
