Nantes Fishing Show 2013
To say I’m excited would be a real understatement. In just 10 days time Dan and I will be commencing our third intercontinental soiree to France to attend a very special fishing show in Nantes
Fishing with Andy Ford
Dan and I had the pleasure of fishing with Andy Ford today, on my local stretch of the Kennet and Avon. You may know Andy as the enthusiastic, roving reporter from ‘Tight Lines’ on Sky Sports. Even if you don’t subscribe to Sky you can still watch Andy’s excellent features online. They cover literally all facets and disciplines of our sport – yes, even LRF! In fact, Andy has just launched a new website where he plans to catalogue all the excellent footage he has captured over the years. You can find it here – https://stourfisher.wordpress.com/ – check it out!
X-Layer = Bass
My Bass fishing received a well timed boost last week with a couple of decent sessions. I went back to what I know and rekindled my relationship with the X-Layer with instant reward. Not that I had gone off these lures, I just wanted to use everything else I had instead, and this had kind of confused my fishing a bit. So after a look back at last years Bass fishing it was quite clear the X-Layers caught me fish, simple. So with a clearer plan and many less lures in my bag I ended up on my usual spot at the right state of tide two days in a row.
