A Night Under The Stars

This weekend I was fortunate enough to have my Saturday and Sunday free so I decided on a trip away overnight. I fancied a change from the usual kayak fishing so decided to head off to an island I know in the middle of a loch which holds a good head of fish. I wanted...

Flamborough 2014 – Every Ounce Counts.

This is another of the established big events on the UK calendar and another chance to spend a long weekend of kayak fishing, drinking and camping with a bunch of like-minded people. Organised by Al and Michele of The Kayak Fishing Shack it has become a regular...

LRF on the kayak

LRF or Light Rock Fishing originated in Japan and came over to the UK a few years ago since when it has just exploded in popularity. It is essentially fishing incredibly light jigs and lures and aiming to catch whatever swims. It has been a revelation over here where...

Smooth Hounds and Surf

Every year I try and get a trip to Huttoft in Lincolnshire. It has some of the best smooth hound fishing in the UK as well as offering a host of other species to target. The only problem is the surf. The conditions have to be spot on to get a launch and more times...

VIDEO- Smooth hounds and surf on the Cuda 14

A short video of todays trip. Launching looked dodgy through the surf but we thought we would give it a go. After a few decent smooth hound we called it a day and set about getting back to the beach. The biggest surf I have been in yet and an opportunity not to be...

A Surprise on a windy day

Once again the weatherman got it wrong, but I was up early and it was set to be a nice day minus the wind. After just sorting all my tackle out at home and getting it organised it took minutes to launch the kayak. Some gear in the centre hatch and a small tackle bag...

A new first for this year..

I blanked… I really hate to blank and usually scale right down to catch a fish, any fish, of any species and any size but there are days when that just isn’t on the cards and today was one of them. The venue was my favourite bass haunt. I had everything I needed, my...

Remote Loch Fishing

The weekend had finally arrived! Work finished and the van packed, it was time for my long haul drive to meet the guys for a weekend of pike and perch fishing. When I say long haul drive, I feel that is unfair as Adam had actually driven up to Scotland from...

Carp, Carp and even more Carp

I have recently negotiated access to Six Hills Jetski Lake in Leicestershire for kayak anglers. This is a lake that has not been fished for over 20 years and in a recent small survey electro fishing revealed a good stock of carp from 8ozs up to over 15lbs. I had a...
