Last weekend I spent 2 days at Evesham practicing for the forthcoming Evesham Festival Weekend, as I,ve got an invite for the Saturday and Sunday matches.Last Saturday was a knock up, not a qualifier, and only about 15 anglers turned up, with bloodworm and joker not allowed everybody was expecting a tough match, and they were right. Luckily for us...

Last week I spent a couple days at Whiteacres as part of the National Fishing Month. Steve Mayo and I went to represent Maver and coach some kids on Jennys and Trelawney.As always at Whiteacres, the fishing was brilliant, we helped about 50 youngsters to catch some fish, some of them showed real potential.

Conditions were ideal for thursday nights evening match, the water was coloured, a gentle breeze and overcast skies meant everyone was expecting a good evenings fishing. All season the docks has failed to fish to its potential and this evening was no different.Usually at this time of the year the matches are held at Baltic Wharf, but since the new...

On wednesday I did a feature for the Angling Times at Puriton on the Gloucester Canal, the fishing was absolutely brilliant, I caught 40 bream all between 3 and a half and five pounds.Keep an eye out for it, it should be out in the next couple of weeks. Anyone who knows this area of the canal, I fished by...

The water had a tinge of colour and it was warm and windy.Top rod on the night was Andy Curry with 8lb 12oz, made up of bream and skimmers caught on the pole and maggot. Merv Sivell...
