A Good Read prior to a new season!

by | posted in: Game Fishing, Sidebar | 0

Its less than a month until the start of a new salmon season and optimism will as always be high. The rivers are running brimful at present so hopefully they will be in fine trim in for the seasons start. Its time to start sorting out the tackle and buying a few bits and pieces. Check those waders and nets. Another new rod! In the mean time why not have an inspirational read of the latest Eat Sleep Fish Magazines. Just click on the links.

Why not have a warm up session on a local still water like Blakewell, Bratton Water or Exe Valley.

The Don at 34lb 4oz from Upper Tamar

by | posted in: Carp Fishing, Sidebar | 0

 

Ben Smeeth of South West Lakes Trust is thrilled to announce the first capture of ‘The Don’ from Upper Tamar after it was stocked in September 2017. The fish was banked by Ashley Bunning at 34.04. Ashely had this to say: ‘It went 34lb 4oz, to say i am over the moon is an understatement. Had the fish over a big bed of Burton bait rollers ‘Magnet’ and the new test bait’. Congratulations to Ashley on the capture. The capture was part of a great weekend on the venue with anglers catching multiple numbers of fish and other fish over 20lbs being recorded.

Bluefin – Trip Extra

by | posted in: Sea Angling, Sidebar | 0

Steve Dawe is on a mission to catch 52 species in 52 weeks and is doing it to raise money for The Stroke Association following a massive stroke that impacted upon a close angling friend of Steve’s. Steve has agreed to write about his aims on NDAN in a feature that will follow soon. In the mean time above is a picture of the huge 19lb spurdog Steve boated on Tuesday January 30th whilst fishing on John Barbeary’s boat Bluefin.
