Float Review Revisited
Way back in 2013 at a Perry St match, the Tart brought on some pole floats made by Mike Smith for me to have a look at. I didn’t know Smithy back then and was quite flattered that anybody would actually care what I thought! Here’s what I said about them at the time, ‘I mentioned earlier that Brendon had brought me on …
Sadborow – 28th May 2018
With it being a Bank Holiday, it would be rude not to fish somewhere so a few of us decided to have a knock up at Sadborow. Another decent breakfast at ‘Spoons and then we headed to the pond, there was loads of floating fluff and stuff all over the surface which would be a pain when it came to trying to get a rig …

Palm Tree Lagoon, Thailand – 28th April to 1st May 2018
I didn’t manage to make it over to Thailand last year so booked three weeks in April and May with no real grand plans apart from lots of relaxing, eating and drinking. Of course I couldn’t go to the Land of Smiles without doing some fishing and booked four days at Palm Tree Lagoon, a fishery I’ve seen and read so much …
