By JAYZS: Does Size Always Matter?

http://byjayzs.blogspot.com/2015/06/size-does-not-always-matter.html

Sunday, 28 June 2015. Does Size Always Matter? Other visitors to my swim included this woodmouse, totally oblivious to my presence, and this cheeky, chirpy little chap. If the alliteration does not help you with the bird's ID: tough! How can they call it cool? I almost screamed in agony at the powerful sting that went right through my lip, feeling as if had every intention of severing my tongue! About £2-95 of the £3-00 I paid for it. A Gorgeous 5-15 Female. A Spawny 10-5 Tinca. Not so gorgeous. But it h...

Friday, 19 September 2014. Beauties and the Beasts. Beautifully Camouflaged: LSD ( Photo credit: someone else). Wonderfully Ugly Beastie: the Red Lipped batfish. Photo Credit A.N. Other. But another fish has come to my notice, that now holds pride of place as the weirdest fish I have yet seen. The red lipped batfish. from the Galapagos.where else? I have just been consulting a web page about identification of parr. Salmon or brown trout? A buzzard took advantage of my lack of suitable camera gear to fly ...

Tuesday, 10 February 2015. The Great British Mole Hunt and Fifty Shades of Grayling. But no, I was unable to find an entrance at all. No area was softer than the rest. Similar results came from another three or four hills, and I was left to conclude that the mole must back fill, and densely pack the hole. I retreated and left the research area, in order to consult Google on mole behaviour and their hills. GBMH round one: Moles 1, JayZS nil. Don't tell the wife I am off again. I know. My phone rang: my so...

By JAYZS: More Birds Than Fish

http://byjayzs.blogspot.com/2015/08/more-birds-than-fish.html

Saturday, 1 August 2015. More Birds Than Fish. Well, it was time to take my wellies back to the Wye. And why not? It is a long trip, but I. I am fairly sure it was a tawny own. Definitely not a barn owl or little owl. Sand Martins Nesting in Pipework. Green Woodpecker: At 100 yards Plus. I did take this photo of a female blue banded demoiselle. Not a trace of blue on the females. I didn't manage to get a photo of one last week, so as to be able to show the differences between the sexes. 160; This blog en...

Going with the flow: March 2014

http://riveranglersgowiththeflow.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Going with the flow. Thursday, 27 March 2014. Deserted hail battered swim. The impending ice balls cleared and we were free to fish, I caught a reasonable Roach about a pound quickly followed by a slightly smaller Perch, the Perch (and all others caught on the day) were as fat as footballs, obviously they hadn't spawned just yet, I had wondered with the mild weather and thought that they would have done so but it seemed not on this water. Tuesday, 18 March 2014. Curtain call on the Wye. The second cast w...

By JAYZS: Apocalypse Last Week

http://byjayzs.blogspot.com/2015/08/apocalypse-last-week.html

Friday, 7 August 2015. At sometime during the fishing match my mobile phone was sabotaged. I have never been an expert with a mobile phone, despite my life-long computer industry background. A situation that my son takes great advantage of, in order to poke fun at me. He suddenly had an ally. That damned woman in my SatNav, she who must be obeyed. As I typed my password, she made a vocal confirmation with every key pressed. Being security conscious, she did. Wifi", "Data usage", "Bluetooth". The carp ang...

A Specialist Anglers Diary: Back to the barbel - A tale of three rivers

http://www.speci-angler.co.uk/2015/01/back-to-barbel-tale-of-three-rivers.html

A Specialist Anglers Diary. The story so far. Friday, 2 January 2015. Back to the barbel - A tale of three rivers. The Soar in all its glory. One of two 5lb chub in three trips. One thing I have been doing a bit this year is sticking a small bright "sight blob", for want of a better word, on top of the hair rigged boilie. Carp anglers have been doing this for donkeys years so why not barbel? With the fish returned I finally sat down and made another cast. Again it was only a matter of minutes before ...

Andrew Kennedy's Angling Blog at Just-Fish.co.uk - Fishing Blog Coarse Fly Lure Pike Perch: A Very Welcome Highlight to End the River Season

http://www.andrewkennedy.info/2014/04/a-very-welcome-highlight-to-end-season.html

Tuesday, 15 April 2014. A Very Welcome Highlight to End the River Season. It's a now a month since the rivers closed and I'm just getting around to typing up my 'end of season round-up' post. I don't think I've fully grasped the concept of a blog! Well, better late than never, I suppose. Somehow I've managed to once again have a poor end to the season. What's made this one different to previous seasons is that it followed a poor middle of the season and a disappointing start to the season too! Having los...

http://www.andrewkennedy.info/2013/01/winter-blues-pike-and-barbel-fishing.html

Thursday, 3 January 2013. Winter Blues - Pike and Barbel Fishing. I should have been barbel fishing but my heart was set on piking, so I had taken my barbel rods out of the van before I left home! Regardless of that, I decided to try and find somewhere more sheltered where I could fish without fear of unwittingly deep-hooking a fish. I did bump into James Gould and Stu Walker (who's been filming " Caught In The Act. And previously " Barbel Days and Ways. I've read some of your stuff." from Stu, but I...
