What a whopper!

Found this on the National Geographic website… it’s got to be the biggest giant Catfish I’ve ever seen at 8 feet long and weighing in at 450lbs!

Brrrrr!

It’s been absolutely freezing down here in Devon and we accompanied Claire and Julz for a couple of days’ fishing while they were staying at Anglers’ Paradise. Apart from a few small fish, all we caught were colds! So I haven’t had much to blog about…
However, a telephone conversation with HMRC Charities’ Division [...]

Reels on Wheels gets Buff!

I approved the proposed design for the Reels on Wheels Buff Headwear – our logo on a camouflage background. Great, isn’t it? Hopefully we’ll be able to offer them for sale in January 2008.

Off to Wales for a few days…

I’m taking the Wife with me for a well-earned break and the chance to catch a Pike. She’s going to spend some time with Big John from the Birch Syndicate, who has volunteered [...]

Brag n Release – Focus on Fishing

Well after putting my clips up on YouTube the other day, I was contacted a little while later by a member of the Australian website “BragnRelease.com”, which specialises in fishing clips… They liked what they saw when they viewed the clips and are very interested in the whole Buddy System concept and linking up with [...]
