    The warmer weather has really started to improve the fishing, this Thursdays evening match was the best for a long time. It was fished at Redcliffe Wharfe, there was a tinge of colour from the recent rain and a stiff breeze made the fishing a bit uncomfortable. Top rod on the night was Pete Sivell, again, with 10lb 5oz which...

The past three years I have always fished this league and the fishing has been excellent, the first year I fished it my lowest weight was 5 and half pounds, thats...

The weather was similar to what it has been all week, cold, cold and very cold, with winds usually north easterlies, Gold lake was partially frozen with a...

The Norther Special Pop Ups have accounted for some of the countries biggest captures, after its incredible success it was only right that Gaz and CC Moore team tried to develop it further. The NS1+ was born. Over...
