Isn’t it great when a fishing session you have planned turns out as expected – I mean, there has been times in the past when on the run up to a fishing trip (even a short one – the excitement usually starts on a Tuesday) my pals regale each other with tales of how many…
Happy (belated) 5th Birthday to Me…
I was looking over at Tamanawis and noticed he was having a wee birthday. I then decided to have a look at my own stats and noticed that I have just past my own 5th birthday of blogging about fishing. Way back in the beginning I remember emailing Marshall Cutchin at Midcurrent who was one…
Alistair 0 Pike 7
Well, if I had to look at success with my pike fishing today by the number of fish hooked – I would say it was an excellent day with around a half dozen caught. However if success was how many I actually landed then I would have to say – none. The Pike were in…
Dealing with Dodgy Cows
Ok – Let’s do it – let’s talk about cows! Quite simply I don’t trust the buggers, they stand about chewing their cud occasionally giving you the evil eye as you walk past – they look at you as if they own the damn place and occasionally they all moo at one another as if…

Testing a new layout…
I know this is a little boring, especially if you guys are reading this via email however I am testing out my new theme – I would like some comments. I have also been thinking about adding a very simple forum. I was actually loathe to do this as I dont think it will get…
Thinking of Summer Pike…
Tell you what I have been thinking about the last week or so……….”Pike” that’s what ! Usually it is only at the end of the trout season I turn to the toothy beasts however this year the urge has got me early. Oh yea baby, and with Pike size does in fact matter – I…
