 I just love fishing, just being on the bank is good enough for me, the excitement of watching the float going under or tip going round. I really cannot wait for every session and being on the bank with my friends.I started this site in 2011 to share great places to fish and it has grown into a busy site with a great team of anglers. My favorite fish has got to be the Barbel, especially on the river. My preferred method has got to be the tip, especially on the River and large lakes.  Warren Boswell, Coarse/sea/Carp Angler. My name is Warren Boswell  My names Thomas Kyffin and I have been fishing since the age of 12, I mainly consentrated on the match circuit, where I was fishing junior matches and general coarse fishing. I moved on to Carp fishing at the age of 15 and loved every moment of it, fishing mainly small day ticket venues. My love of big Carp progressed and I have caught numerous carp from up and down the country and also in france. My PB stands at 37 pound in the uk and 30 pound in france. I am always willing to help like minded anglers and have general chit chat about all things fishing, so feel free to drop me a message anytime you wish on facebook through the group or page.  Fishing is my life, if I'm not doing it, I'm definitely thinking about it! Growing up on the local park lakes of Liverpool, then progressing to the canals and rivers around the north west I've fished some fantastic venues. With the onset of commercial fisheries, its the diversity of our sport that I enjoy so much, and the constant learning. Its this learning curve, and more importantly the sharing of our experiences that drove me to become a licenced angling coach. The buzz I get from passing on my knowledge and helping develop other anglers is awesome. So being able to come on board with the other guys here is fantastic, and I hope you enjoy our adventures. Enough of this,,,,,,lets get fishing!  My name is Dave Williams from Liverpool but living in Runcorn from the age of 8. Started fishing with my Dad and uncle when I moved to Runcorn fishing the ICI waters Sandymoor, Greenwoods and Dutton flashes, moved onto my local canal, The Bridgewater and fished it for many years. Later on in my fishing life I have become hooked on fishing the commercial fisheries up and down the country, I also have a love for our local rivers, The Dane, The Ribble, and down to the Severn. My favourite tactic must be the method feeder using ground bait or Pellet I’m not fussed. Favourite Fish, Tench and Crucian carp. Am looking forward to the challenges ahead, and if you see me on the bank come and say hello, if you’re not catching. Regards Dave.  Ian Jones, Coarse/Match Angler. I love pole fishing and have
recently enjoyed getting to grips with the art of shallow fishing. It is
a method that rewards a busy angler which I like. also I like fishing
the tip but don't do it often enough! Over the
last 2 to 3 years I have started to fish more open matches as I enjoy
the banter and competition it provides. I have had a few section wins in
the Hampton springs silver fish matches and my first match win came at
Wigmore lakes earlier this year. Since then I have smashed my match PB
which now stands at 104lb 14oz (06/05/14) so with my first match win and
now my first ton out of the way I am looking forward to what the future
holds! I
have been a regular visitor to the Fishing in the
Northwest site over the last few years for information on local
fisheries so I am really happy to be invited to join the team and hope
you enjoy reading about our future outings and fishery reviews. On a
personal note I hope you enjoy reading about my match fishing
experiences at some of the Northwest's premier fisheries. If you follow
this link it will take you to my match blog to see how I get on : Ian Jones Match Blog.  For me you cannot beat that feeling no matter what age you are of leaving the mad world behind and heading for a session on the bank, be it a hot Summer day or a frosty snowy Winters morning you just can’t beat the buzz and banter setting the gear up then shipping out the pole watching the float settle then get planted under the surface and the elastic stream out. My favorite method got to be fishing on the tip, be it method/cage feeders or straight bomb, you can’t beat that buzz watching the tip getting pulled round and hitting into a fish. My I have two favorite fish, the first is the good old Roach there is something special about Roach, maybe because it’s the first fish most of us catch as kids, love my roach fishing and it really comes into its own in the winter months. The second is the Tench, great fighters and I love fishing old school ledger for them is wicked.  My name is Steve Roberts and I live in Wrexham North Wales. I have been fishing for as long as I can remember, as most my dad got me into fishing which i thank him for. I started my fishing on the river Dee (Wales) where I spent most of my teenage years going around twice a week back then. in the 90s we found a local commercial where my passion for fishing lakes begun, we fished for Tench, Crewies, Rudd, Bream and my introduction to my first Carp capture. I spent many years there learning the skills needed to fish lakes and also started pole fishing. From these lakes I joined a local club where slider fishing for big Bream and Tench was the norm. From there I started chatting to the clubs Carp anglers and it become apparent I started to spend more and more time targeting the big Carp in there and a bank tramp was born. Since then I’ve since had a second child and Carp fishing as a whole is on the back burner but I do like to get out a few times a year proper Carp angling staying the weekend of course. as you guys will see from the fishing in the North West site my ugly mug pops up quite regular more than often with the pole in hand as these days I really enjoy the banter amongst the team whilst out reviewing these venues for you good people more than often at the expense of the gaffer Mr. Bowen. Think that’s enough information to bore you viewers so its tight lines from me and hope to see you perhaps join us on one of our many adventures up and down the North West.  My names Liam Postle and I’m from Rhosddu. I started fishing
at a young age where it all started off with my 6ft rod which you could bend
into a circle, fishing on the small rivers catching eels and small trout. From
there I developed onto sea fishing off rock fronts and peers and now and again
the odd boat trip catching mackerel. I then started taking
my Coarse fishing very serious and had become a big part of my life,
being out every weekend rain or shine. Then finally I found my calling,
Carp fishing where I have been dedicated for around four years and still
it
carries on. Hopefully will be on here quite a bit with reviews and with a
flood
of photos of my captures. If you ever see me on the bank don’t be afraid
to
come say hello and the kettles on. Tight Lines!  Carl Jenkins, Coarse, Game and Sea Angler.  My name is Mark Clutton and I live in Dodleston, I would like to think I am the silver fish man of the team. I have been fishing since I was 5, in that time I have fished many venues all over the country. I have fished junior nationals and division 1 & 2 nationals for Wyche Anglers from Nantwich and also division 2 & 3 nationals, Crewe summer leagues and angling times winter leagues for Hodnet Match group. I have fished these on the canals, Rochdale Canal, Shropshire Union, Grand Union, Trent and Mersey, Bridgewater, Basingstoke canal. I think my favourite fish to catch would be Roach and skimmers, on the pole or the tip. There is something about catching a net full of them. Give me a 30lb net of silvers over a ton net of carp any day. Tight lines. |
