The Buddy Bus again!

I’m getting great feedback on the Buddy System from so many anglers on various UK angling forums and I thank you all for responding so enthusiastically and for giving me some great ideas for promoting this whole idea. So obviously today, I have to sit down with the wife and start the list-making: Where to fish [...]

Bideford Angling Club

I spent a couple of peacefully pleasant hours at the water’s edge this morning at the Bideford Angling Club lake. I met a couple of members who were enjoying some float-fishing and was joined by Stuart Bailey and Neilsen Jeffrey, Secretary and Membership Secretary, respectively. They told me all about the trials and tribulations of finding [...]

I’m so excited!!!!!

And I just can’t hide it – it’s on! The Road Trip is on! I’ve got my first sponsor – Van Den Eynde & The Waterfront – hurray! The wife and I popped over to Bude this morning (she has to go 15 miles up the road to get a magazine she loves!) and it [...]

Reels on Wheels – progress!

I’m chuffed to bits with the way anglers from all over the place have embraced the Reels on Wheels Forum. There are a lot of new threads and a lot of chatting going on, so much so that I’ve had to revamp and tidy it up, to make sure it’s user-friendly. Here’s a screen shot so [...]

The Buddy Bus…so far!

Well, despite the annoying showers we had yesterday, my man Lester managed to make a start on revamping the Motorhome – now nicknamed “The Buddy Bus!” And this is what she looks like at the moment.

Close up and personal…

Now to any prospective sponsors out there, you see those areas on the side that are just [...]

Update…

Well I have got some news to report. I’m over the moon with the support I’m getting from anglers who have joined the Forum and also from anglers on other large angling forums – thanks so much!
I’ve been in touch with Stewart from the Bideford Angling Club and I’m going to meet up with the [...]

The Buddy System – sharing the passion!

Isn’t it fantastic that a single word can inspire a great idea which is being embraced by all sorts of anglers? Let me explain…
I have a neighbour who’s a graphic designer by profession. He’s also an enthusiastic angler and when my wife can’t get away to fish with me, he does! So, lucky me, I [...]

Reels on Wheels Forum

Well, we’ve been at it again! I’ve set up the Reels on Wheels Forum for all anglers… if you take a look at it and decide to join – WELCOME!! I hope you heard me!
I’m open to suggestions – like, if you think there should be another section (like “Lady Anglers”…) then pm or e-mail me. [...]

Priceless!

I had the great pleasure of spending a couple of hours chatting to Matt Hayes last night, during his brief stay at Angler’s Paradise. He’d initially granted me 10 minutes to talk to him about my proposed Road Trip and outline what I’m trying to achieve. Well, what a lovely man he is! Those 2 [...]

On the Waterfront!

That’s where I spent a short interlude this morning! In Bude, beside the canal, there’s a first-class tackle shop which caters for all anglers – a small slice of angling heaven! It’s actually in the gardens of the Waterfront Centre and here’s the front of the shop…

I forgot to mention that he also sells guns! [...]
