Rain and more rain.

Hi all well it seems we have got off quite lightly looking at how most of Europe is suffering with the current cold spell. I think we have been lucky in the sense that we have just had torrential downpours instead of the snow. It's a real blessing as we desperately needed some it's been a long long time.
When it does rain especially at this time of year it really does come down.
This was yesterday at lunchtime.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all our readers from me and my two beautiful girls.

Feeder championships portugal

Hi all no doubt a few of you will be getting a bit bored now with the fishing posts,perhaps I need to do a new blog just dedicated to the fishing.
Well it was a real struggle for our team in the feeder champs but it was our first time and most of the team are very inexperienced. We were competing against some of Portugal's best including teams with world champions and national champions so it was tough to say the least, but a greatly enjoyable first entry.
I am certain we will improve on our eighth position next year because we all enjoyed it so much we are now going to dedicate the time needed in practice to ensure a better result.
On a personal level although it brings me little consolation I was the top points scorer for the team in aveiro and peter my good friend was top scorer in coruche, so it was not all doom and gloom.
So we begin our training this weekend again and with luck it really should pay dividends.

Results

Well its been a great season on the fishing front having now won money on 11 of the 13 competions I've fished.
Just under two weeks to go until i finally get to fish the national Portuguese feeder championships. Looking forward to this its been a long wait.
The first two events are in aviero with the final two in coruche so rest assured i will inform you in due course of the results. Fingers crossed it will be successful for our team on our first venture.

New fishing season.

Hi all just a quick update on the first month of the match fishing. I have fished two competitions so far with a third place finish and a fourth place finish.
Not a bad start really as i have achieved two pay days out of two, winning 50 euro and 40 euro respectively. I feel the first win is just around the corner and have been catching up to 150 lbs of carp in my four hour practice sessions.

Hi all well we are now less than two weeks away from the new fishing season and to say i am excited would be understated!!!.
Everything is prepped and ready to go,and i really need to be on it this season as my sponsor KND (keepnets direct uk) will be hoping for good results from me.
I have had some great practice sessions in the so called closed season trying out a few new methods etc so it will be interesting to see how they perform on match days.
Fingers crossed and tight lines to all.
