Fishing lines Podcast

This is the first time we've had to label a podcast NSFW! Mike came in to discuss the last book of the Trilogy- Carping Mad 5. Had an absolute blast from start to finish!   Definitely one to wear headphones around the family- but a scream from start to finish.    

Julian came in last night for a chat about all things carpy. We focussed a lot on the mindset that is needed to be successful within our sport.

Steve came in this week to discuss the return of the bluefin Tuna to our waters. We covered a lot in just over an hour- the global changes driving their return, availability of their food, where the UK stands to get get a quota this year and of course- what its actually like to catch one!   Fascinating hour from Steve, well worth a listen and in time as anglers they will need our support to put pressure on the govt to get a recreational fishery so we can all enjoy fishing for 800lb fish just 5 miles off shore !!!

Had a great time with Jon this week. We talked about the challenges of the UK sea fishing scene and the over fishing by mega trawlers- but also the positives of the re-emergence of the Blue fin Tuna. We also got into his time fishing for team GB and squeezed in a dive into his instagram to recall stories of goliath groupers, tiger sharks and world records. Inspirational stuff from Jon- you should check out his Instagram!!!

Ian is one of the most prolific and successful guides on the river Trent. He has been fishing it for over 17 years and has an encyclopedic knowledge of all stretches- upper, middle and Tidal.   This week we discuss bait application, rigs, tackle and fish location. If you've ever fancied having a go at the Trent- or  even if you fish it regularly, you're bound to learn something new!

Dean and I chatted through everything- Bait boats to Barbel and his favourite spots Uk and abroad.

Keith joined me this week for a chat on a wide variety of topics from the challenges of getting kids into fishing to him becoming the 'first million pound angler'. Genuinely one of the nicest guys in fishing- what you see on tele is Keith in real life... top bloke and a great time.

Some listeners were getting error messages with the first edition- So we have reloaded it in a different format to see if that solves the issue!   Thanks for your patience whilst we continue to grow !

Nige and I catch up on old times and chat about how he found his way into the industry.
