August already…Where is this year going to? It is true what they say about time passing faster as you get older, it certainly does! if it carries on at this rate I will barely have enough time to get out fishing! I remember as a lad my 6 week holidays lasting a whole decade, my fortnight […]
Well, we are through July and wasn’t it a warm one! Even the rain we saw towards the very end of the month was hot! Not that I am complaining too much but as I have said previously, I have been sweating like a proper bastard during this heat wave thing that has been the […]
I have an article in Coarse Angling Today this month ( July/August 2013), which is nice because it means that I must be getting ever more awesome by the day as only awesome people can get their names into print…Pftttt, yeah right! Anyone with half a brain and a decent computer can put together an […]
Sometimes, I find that I can get more than a shade obsessed with something and that is when that something then becomes “something” bigger than what it actually is and I go for it like a dog with a bone! It’s a personal character thing which has both positive and negative aspects so I will […]
