National Fishing Week grows into National Fishing Month


Following a successful series of events during National Fishing Week 2009, the supporting bodies have decided that the annual event will grow into a month long celebration of angling, entitled National Fishing Month.

The initiative will begin on the 17th July 2010 and conclude on the 15th August 2010 and will involve several showcase events in each region and a wide range of other local events. As in previous years, the idea is to encourage every family member to have a go at fishing from whatever cultural or social background they may be from. The initiative's timing has been deliberately planned to incorporate the end of the school terms and more of the school holidays to enable activities to be linked with both schools and families. By extending the timetable, fishery owners, angling coaches and retailers will have a greater span of time to be able to take part and support events in their areas.

The Truth About Bait by Albino


Part 1

Alot has been writen about bait over the years...But have you stopped to think..BY WHO !!
Most so called experts are in some way linked with bait companies..!!..So for example when Tim nice but dim writes about the latest super wonder bait from a well known company this is in part because he has 100 kg (free or minimum cost) sitting in his freezer..! So he has probably fished with the bait and hoofed 10 kgs at a time into his local (syndicate lake) and over a couple of months (Well blow me he's had a couple of the bigguns)...The average carp fisherman cant afford to do this (as we could be talking about 100+ kgs of bait)...

Magic Of Redmire 1991 by Iain Rothwell ( Rushes Lake )


MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS…….

September 1st 1991 saw us standing on the dam wall of Redmire, we had been planning this trip since our weekend here the previous year, and here we were totally ‘blown away’ yet again! I almost had to pinch myself. My spine was tingling ... this was indeed a magical place for any carp angler., recalling all the stories I had read in Quest for Carp and Casting at the Sun, we all looked at each other and it was obvious how we all felt indeed no words were necessary. All round the lake there are overhanging trees and huge weed beds, making it the carpiest looking water I had ever seen, also the most secluded and quietest place imaginable.

The river is very popular with anglers and was the venue for this year’s Angling Trust 2nd division national coarse angling championship, which saw hundreds of anglers gather from all over the country to compete for the coveted trophy.

  • J & S Fishing is a small business run on Nottinghamshire - Leicestershire boarder by my wife and myself. We pride ourselves in providing high quality fishing and fishing baits.

    I myself, have been fishing for over 20 years. starting on local match circuits around Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. In early 2000 eventually I gave up the match scene in the quest for quality fishing away from the commercial waters.
    In 2001 a friend and myself realized every anglers dream and took on the lease for a small stretch of the River Soar, just out side Loughborough. In 2004 I took on a gem of a lake on the out skirts of Leicester and Melton Mowbray and J & S Fishing was born. Over the past 4 years we have gone from strength to strength and built a reputation for high quality fishing at an exclusive fishery.
    Over years I have used all manner of baits some good some not so good, Having tried Vision Baits and talked with their top man Darren Conway I soon discovered how good their products where, whether it be from Visions Carp range or Visions Match Range of baits you'll find all their baits are spot on.
