FIPSed Criticised Over World Carp Championships
Caption: Ali Hamidi – highly critical of the venue selection for the 2013 World Carp Championships. The official World Carp Championships has come in for some stick for the second year running. In 2012 many of the teams found out too late that the carp in Romania’s Lac Corbu had been pre-conditioned to feed at […]
50lb Salmon Caught On Scotland’s River Tweed
A 50lb salmon has been reported from Scotland’s River Tweed. The cock fish, the biggest salmon caught anywhere in the UK so far in 2013, was caught on the fly on the Boleside Beat by Shamus Jennings, who is part owner of the stretch with his brother Francis. The mighty salmon was measured at 50 […]
Dutch Ladies Pairing Wins 2013 World Carp Classic
The landscape of competition carp fishing has been redrawn by two Dutch masters after a week of building tension in the picturesque Italian countryside. The 2013 World Carp Classic trophy went to Lizette Beunders 43 and Bianca Venema 37, who brushed aside their opposition to win by one of the biggest margins, over 173 Kgs […]
World Carp Classic 2013 The Winners’ Story
Lago di Bolsena, the massive volcanic lake of over 113 square kilometers, nestling in the picturesque Italian countryside was, once again, the venue for the 2013 World Carp Classic. A tournament that was ultimately to create carp fishing history and break all records for the event that was celebrating its 15th year anniversary. After […]

Managers report courtesy of Martyn Reid. The World Men’s Shore Fishing Championship this year was staged on the beaches of Torremolinos in Spain, and it was the home nation who took home the gold, and posted the top four individuals in a virtually foot perfect victory, as they finished 12 points clear of the field.However, […]
Kev Grout Wins 2013 UK Carp Cup
Battling horrendous conditions and a final line-up of the quality we had never seen the likes of before meant this year’s Carp Cup champion would be even more of a deserved winner, but who would emerge from 40-hours of top end competition and leave with the coveted UKCC trophy? The weeks leading up to the […]
Esselle Pole Repairs Full Pole Refurbishment
I’ve used Esselle Pole Repairs for many a year now – it has to be well over a decade. Even the most careful of pole anglers break sections from time to time – and I do NOT fall into that category. Generally it’s been clean breaks that I have had fixed, which is done using […]
Huge Bonefish Landed Off New Caledonia
Australian fly angler Dr. Gary Justin Post has put New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean firmly on the map for every inshore angler in search of trophy bonefish after landing an incredible 7.48 kg (16lb 8oz) fish while fishing Boat Pass Flats. The fish took a Crazy Charlie fly and put up an amazing 45-minute […]
Could The Parrot Break The British Carp Record
One of the UK’s most sought after and biggest carp – a fish known as The Parrot – has been banked at a whopping 62lb 4oz by police officer Matt Bryant. With a cold northerly wind blowing the 25-year-old was surprised to arrive at the Cranwells Lake syndicate on the Wasing Estate in Berkshire to […]
Ash Francis Dacron Pole Connectors
These ready-made Dacron pole connectors are being supplied at a price that makes sense by Ashley Francis. Personally I have gone back to the Stonfo type of connectors for soft elastics of No5 and lighter, but for anything bigger Dacron is my favoured choice. They take the rig loop nicely away from the elastic and […]
Bait Tech Hybrid Barbel Hook Baits
Quite an unusual hook bait offering this, because you get a range of sizes in the same pot and the hook bait itself, although a pellet, is soft enough to drill without any risk of splitting. You could even side-hook it if you wanted, although hair rigging is the best way to go in my […]
WSB Super Shrimps
I recently organized a video shoot for Fishing TV in which shore angling guide Sean McSeveney took a look at some of the tackle and accessories on offer from WSB. Sean fishes a great deal for bass, and these new Super Shrimps which are available in natural and red were his favourite products. The shrimps […]
