Just registered - I've been lurking for a while: really great site which is helping me get through a boring no fishing winter. Really enjoying reading about your fishing over the water there. All the best,

Do you do much fishing on the Thames?

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks

Hi Kieran,

I'm sorry to say I don't yet - but I really would like to change that. I have been a bit of a fair weather angler when it comes to the sea (work, family get in the way of the fishing a bit) - but am slowly building up with better kit and bit more experimentation. So for now it is mostly W Coast of Scotland in the summer - and I use a sea yak for that as well. I hear that the Thames has a lot of fish in it these days - including being stuffed with school bass extending right up to Teddington loch (the top of the todal range), so I ought to give it a go. My main fishing is on the fly for wild trout in Scotland though... Keep looking at your loch Corrib and wondering if I can get over there. Or a few days from some or your rock marks in the summer perhaps?

Anyway - great site you have here: really enjoying reading the reports. And it's a pleasure to see an absence of the stupid bickering that occurs on so many sites. Seems like there are some pretty good anglers posting here.

All the best,

Swithun

I've got Ireland and South Uist on the 'must go soon' list. All a matter of time (and avoiding the divorce courts of course)... Given that I can't really cast and wouldn't have a boat where should I go (when I get there) for a few good rock marks?

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Cheers,

Swithun
