Things aren’t getting any easier in the working and personal lifestyle that I lead and the four day Jubilee weekend descended into confusion for me. I recently moved into a sleepy forestry village of around 70 dwellings, the night life is a little poor as I’m sure you can imagine and getting myself organised seems [...]
Hard at the day job and in need of some fishing I decided a trip down to Oakwood for the evening was on the cards. I finished my work early and arrived at the lake just after 5pm, could have been there for 4.30 but I had fish & chips for tea on the way. [...]
New financial year, targets, objectives and contracts being aligned and paperwork needing completion, busy would be an understatement, but I managed to get on the bank and visit Oakwood Park for my first trip there this year. I fuelled up with a late lunch of chilli & rice before making my way to the venue. [...]
Well week off day 5 never really happened for me even though it was 30th March, that significant as it was my birthday. The van didn’t pass it’s annual check up which meant as my company car was returned last year I was without any wheels and unable to travel anywhere let alone fish. So [...]
Early Birthday Celebrations So after an eventful first day and then the missed chances the second day it was now Thursday and the van went in at 8am for its annual check up. I was picked up and taken for a days fishing on a local fun water. I love stalking fish, watching as they [...]
Sunstroke and Nothing to Show for It SO THEN…. Day two of my week off actually turned into day 3 (Wednesday), I had good intentions of fishing the Tuesday but as usual the day to day activities got in the way so a decision was made to return to my syndicate early Wednesday morning for [...]
Week Off – Monday So my program for the week was Monks for 48hrs, Norwich Syndicate for maybe a couple of days and then my birthday on the fun water. Due to an expired MOT the week quickly descended into chaos and didn’t go anywhere near according to plan but I did manage to get [...]
It’s been a little while, so much so people are actually asking why I haven’t blogged for so long. Needless to say it’s not because I have given up angling as it’s in the blood, it’s also not because I haven’t been catching a few. Quite the opposite in fact, setting myself a new UK [...]
Due to unforeseen circumstances last autumn I missed out on the trade shows being stuck indoors and unable to spend much time on my feet. This really didn’t bode well for my personality as I like to be out and about using every bit of spare time to the max. This year things worked perfectly [...]
Local Club Pond – Fishing for all I have made mention in previous blogs that I am chairman for my local club. Not a massive piece of water but one that resides in the public recreational fields of the market town of Brandon in Suffolk. I grew up fishing this pond, I remember well [...]
