With the Harbour Regatta coming up very soon, this weeks match was switched to Bathurst Basin as Baltic Wharf is full of boats. This area of the docks hardly ever gets fished and is out of the main flow of the docks, so the first match for 6 months was never going to be great, as no bait has gone...
Rain, rain and more rain and the bream loved it, thursdays match it rained all night and never stopped until after the weigh in. The flooded Bristol Avon and Frome had coloured up the whole docks system and with a gentle tow and no wind conditions were perfect, and the fish responded.Top weight on the night was Dave Clutterbuck, with...

This has been the pattern on a lot of venues this week, we may not like fishing in the wind and rain but the fish love these conditions, quite a few local lakes have stopped producing since the sun has come...
The recent rain has kept the pace and colour in the river and the whole river, top to bottom, has been fishing well. The Chippenham area of the river has seen big weights of bream and plenty of roach and chub have been showing above Bath, there has even been double figure nets of bleak on some pegs. Monday's evening...
Last weekend I went out to Merida to run the bank for Drennan Team England, it was a brilliant experience in the spanish sunshine. The sunday match air temperatures reached 46 degrees C, this has to be the hottest day Ive ever experienced and with very little breeze it was hot, hot, hot.I didnt arrive until the thursday evening before...
Saturday, was the first match of the season on the Bristol Avon, this is my local river but I hardly ever fish any matches on it. This season will be different as the Div 1 National is in August and my Dorking team mates will be defending our title.This match was fished at Newbridge, just downstream of Bath, there is...
