I’ve ditched my old measuring tape and moved over to using the awesome HTO LRF Measure. It’s basically a handy, telescopic fish measure that expands from 15cm to 50cm. More

Poor Cod on Metal Jig
Unexpected bonus this evening. Found a thick shoal of Poor Cod on dusk. Made short work of them with a HTO Shore Jig. More
BLAC Saltwater Plymouth

Probably the most fun I’ll ever have coming last in a species hunt. I love this place! Plymouth offers an amazing array of opportunities for the lurist / species hunter / LRFer. For me, Plymouth remains the LRF capital of the UK and I’m ashamed it’s been so long since I returned. More

Cornish Lure Festival 2014
It’s a week since the kick off of the 2014 Cornish Lure Festival and I have to say I’m not sure I’ve recovered yet – it was EPIC
After entering the Species Hunt competition for the first time last year, I’d managed to pass on my enthusiasm for the event to mates, Dan and Chris.

So with a rough plan built around the far from perfect forecast, and the two productive marks I’d garnered last year, we all met up in deepest, darkest Cornwall. Exciting! More

Alderney 24 Hour Lure Competition

Back from another amazing time on the island of Alderney, fishing the 2013 Alderney Lure Only Species Hunt competition. It was, as expected, tremendous fun and has left me with the same empty feeling of unrequited love that I endured the last time I returned from fishing the incredible waters around Alderney. There is so much fishing to experience here. World class. More
