    Thursday was, in theory, my “human structure” colleague Jo’s last day at work before she began her maternity leave. (Sorry about the photo, it’s not very flattering.) On Friday Jo was in work before me and left just after I did, so I was waiting to make sure that she really wouldn’t be in today.…

    I popped up to Whitesprings Fishery for a session last night. Lots of fun bagging up on these small carp (F1 hybrids? – the one on the right is more cruciany). Thanks to my recent birthday I’ve picked up some new feeder kit and it helps – I’ve never caught so many carp on the…

    I am really looking forward to my first summer in Swansea. Sunny today, and you’d think that spring is actually getting going, but sleet is forecast for Sunday.

    It was my birthday on the weekend, so we went back to Cheltenham to see family and friends for a “country weekend”: Shooting clays (soaking wet and freezing, but very good, noisy and destructive afternoon – Kim started to get her eye in on some of the later traps). Angling (a very productive morning on…

    Pretty, eh? Still blanked though. Its funny how fishing for big fish is almost religious. You get so few bites, so few fish, and often even less indication that there are any fish, that you have to develop faith in your baits, your rigs, and your tackle. You make minor or major changes often based…

    Look what I found (and won) on Ebay. It’s exactly the same frog, but will need some work to alter his state – some hot washes and a bit of dirt and grease here and there maybe. Shhhh, don’t tell Jack.
