The Preston Festival is the highlite of a lot of anglers season as most of the top names in the country line up to try and qualify for the Parkdean Final and the £25,000 first prize. At the draw on the monday morning you could feel the tension in the air as Clint gave his opening speech and wished everyone...

The last three weeks have been some of the busiest of the year for me, I have fished nearly every day and only slept in my own bed for 2 nights, as soon as the world club champs qualifier was over it was straight down to Whiteacres on the sunday evening arriving at 11pm, I had drawn Porth for the...

The World Club Classic Qualifier on the River Trent was another great success, and a massive thank-you to Preston Innovations for sponsoring the event, Preston make a huge contribution to this event which allows the winning team to go and fish the World Club Championships in Italy next year. Last year we won this qualifier and then fished the World Club...

This Thursdays match was completely different to last weeks, all the heavy rain from the beginning of the week had coloured up the whole of the docks system and with no wind the water was dead still, the heavily coloured water meant that the better quality fish fed  with quite a few decent bream and the odd quality roach coming...

This thursday match was met with clear water and a low water level, work on the dock gates saw the level 6 inches lower than normal, but Bathurst Basin fished consistently, no bream were caught, probably due to clear water, but plenty of skimmers and roach fed.Top rod on the night was Pete Ellis with10lb 11oz of roach and skimmers...

Last weekend I ran the bank for Drennan Team England on the river Moravia in the Czech Republic at Uherske Hradiste, I havent got a clue how you say it, but it was a nice place. The weather was variable and the fishing was difficult, on the Wednesday it was glorious sunshine and 37 degrees, the next day it was...

Thursday evening match was the last in the current series, fished at Baltic Wharf. The water was typically clear for this time of year and with no wind it was a very pleasant evening to be fishing the docks.Top rod on the night was Andy Curry with 19lb 5oz of bream and skimmers, caught on the pole with groundbait and...

Saturday was an amazing day for all the finalists and spectators, the atmosphere was electric, with £50,000 up for grabs I could sense the nerves when I spoke to the competitors. A large crowd added to the excitement and with Phil Briscoe and Andy Kinder on the PA system, it all added to a great day, even though you needed...

Thursday night match was hampered by the water level going up and down all night long, it was also very coloured making it very hard to present the bait correctly on the pole. The constantly changing level was probably due to water entering the dock from the river frome after all the rain we have had in the last few...
