This one put the ‘Giant’ back in Giant Goby! What a clonker. Fascinating creature to examine. Altogether more robust that the other goby species. Lord of the rock pools.

My First Leopard Spotted Goby
Thanks again to the isle or Alderney for another beautiful gift. My first Leopard Spot. What a dude!
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.
My First Lure Caught Chub
It was a long time coming, but thanks to the river section of the K&A canal in Newbury, I finally caught my first lure caught Chub. What a beautiful fish!
Still Catching Corkwing
My fishing has been slow the last few weeks, but still lots of Corkwing Wrasse on the south coast.
