The weather gods were not best pleased with the group of anglers that ventured out to fish the 2014 Alderney 24 Hour Lure Only Species Hunt. Strong easterly winds hampered everyone’s progress the whole weekend but did nothing to dampen everyone’s enthusiasm. Alderney has a lot to offer, even in tough conditions.

Old Brown Trout on Alderney
I definitely wasn’t expecting this from the sea angling nirvana of Alderney. As such, probably my favourite fish of our trip.
BLAC Q6 Regents Canal Camden
Early start on Saturday. Don’t normally catch a train to go fishing, but it was the latest round of BLAC qualifiers… in central London.
Lure Caught Smoothhound
It feels like Dan and I have waited an eternity to be able to talk about this.
In early June we were out on a shoot with Sea Angler magazine and both managed to achieve a BIG personal target for each of us – the lure caught Smoothhound.
Light Rock Fishing in Spain
Back from a top week in Spain visiting my mum. It was minging hot, so snorkelling was mostly the preferred pastime but I did get to flex the travel rod here and there, trying to notch up the species count.
Light Lure Session in Newbury
Had a great little session on the town section of the K&A canal in Newbury on Saturday. Grabbed just over an hour while the missus was doing some shopping, and using a single lure I had a total of 10 fish for 229cm.
