Wow! Just looked at the last time I posted on here (May
2015) it’s been that long with not much really to report. My match fishing over
the past 12 months has taken a massive step to the side whilst I have concentrated
on work, family and moving house. I have been active in patches but not really
put any consistent time on the bank with me at times losing interest in fishing
in general. The bug is back now that I have settled back up in the midlands and
back to my old stomping ground (and where I learned to fish)
I have given up my individual sponsorship with Browning and
now in a position to use whatever tackle I want. Some may say I’m mad giving up
such an opportunity to be sponsored by such a large tackle brand but to be
honest my heart wasn’t in it anymore. What people need to understand is that
sponsorship is a two way process (you don’t get nothing for free) and with me
inactive on the bank whilst I concentrated on work and family I wasn’t for filling
my side of the deal and was unfair to Browning. I would like to thank Browning
for the years they supported me and wish them well for the future.
Looking upwards and forwards I am now in a position to get
my head 100% back into match fishing and looking forward to the challenges on
the bank against similar minded people. I feel I now have the freedom to be
able to express my thoughts more on what’s going on within the angling world as
well as give honest opinions on tackle that I’ve purchased, this is what I want
to use this page for on a more regular basis as well as keeping everyone up to
date with my match fishing.
Couple of topics that I will be writing on in the next few
weeks include the Fisho Mania format, the tackle industry (in general) and a
few tackle reviews including Commercial Indication floats, Spotted Fin (which
is a new bait company on the market) and various other bits and bobs that I buy
along the way. Until then tight lines, enjoy the weather on the banks and catch
plenty of fish.
