Treasure Hunting


There is one summer fishing session I think I enjoy more than any other - when me and James hit the Fens in the boat, our annual trip searching for gold. A maze of clear water, a boat full of bread and no particular plan! I think I'll just let the photos do the talking...









We've got the boat down to an artform, minimum of gear packed away, bait, motor... And in the excitement of setting off I aways forget to take a photo. Here's an after photo, after thought!

  3. It's the excitement every trip to the Fens creates, a place full of wonderment with the odd surprise. It really is "thee" best place to fish!

    1. Really is exciting and I’m not even distracted by the pike and perch… Can’t wait for the next trip..!

  4. Looks amazing, I'm sure you will find the 3 pounders, but when they all look like that size is irrelevant.

    There is some good footage on Bob Roberts caught in the act, I think he managed a few 2lb plus fish.

    1. Anything over a pound is a great result for me, especially when they look like that. I’ll have to dig out my copy of Caught In The Act.
