Predator dispatches and bankside tales
Welcome to our fishing journal. Follow our shenanigans across Wiltshire and beyond as we target stripeys, pike, and anything else that will take a lure. Read through our latest catch reports, explore the rigs and lures that produced bites, and feel free to leave a comment with your own thoughts.

Winter canal stripeys on Ned rigs
A freezing morning on the towpath proved worth the numb fingers. Working small buoyant plastics pinned tight against lock gates triggered aggressive bites from several chunky perch. We break down the rod setup, fluorocarbon leaders, and slow hopping retrieve that made all the difference when fish were glued to the bottom.

Hunting big reservoir perch on deep crankbaits
When perch push out into open water, covering ground is essential. In this report, we share our boat session targeting submerged drop-offs and gravel bars. See the deep-diving crankbaits and braided mainlines that accounted for multiple two-pound-plus specimens and a surprise bonus pike.

Dropshot tactics along urban river stretches
Urban river banks often hold unsuspecting predators right under bridge pilings and mooring walls. We look back at a quick evening session using light tungsten weights and soft pin-tail worms to coax wary predators. Leave a comment below with your go-to urban lure colour combinations.
