Everyone has a smart phone these days and apps are big business and with supposedly millions of anglers in the UK alone, more and more apps are being developed that are aimed at anglers. I first became aware of Fishbrain some time ago, it started life in Sweden and I seem to recall it being touted as the fastest growing fishing app (don’t quote me on …

Recently I was lucky enough to win one of the Nick Gilbert giveaways on the excellent Match Fishing Scene forum, it really is one of the better forums which has loads of giveaways and offers and they seem like a friendly bunch that hold quite a few matches (although I haven’t managed to get to one yet) as well as loads of …

I’m a big fan of all things Drennan and during my 35 years as a fisherman I have used literally hundreds of their products including floats, hooks, line, catapults and rods among many other items, in fact you name it and Drennan now make it.

I already own one of the MAP hooklength systems and you can read my review of it here MAP Hooklength system review. To be honest it’s a cracking box …

Well it seems to be a relative review fest at the moment, I’ve just received the TF Gear Camo Waterproof Jacket from site supporter Fishtec and first impressions are very, very good. Now I’m not a carp/speci hunter but I wanted a jacket that I could take with me to Gillhams Resort in Thailand as at this time of year there can be …

I’ve done a few reviews on my blog but I’m venturing into new territory with this one, my first review of a fishing app. I’m not a technophobe but I’ve never really played around with apps much on my phone with Facebook, Twitter, E-bay and BBC Sport about as adventurous as it got. Well with fishing apps becoming ever more popular I thought …
