Pre-Season 2026/27


Forgoing the usual break - cracking straight on this year. A change of summer target this season - carp will be the main focus (although I'm sure I'll hunt down a barbel or two). And I also feel I've neglected the perch and zander for far too long - back on the radar.

And my winter target will once again be pike. A few new venues explored last season - hopefully I've learned a few things and can put them into practice this time. A new river & ponds earmarked, plus whatever I bump into while targeting the perch.
  • 50x Carp (including 10 doubles)
  • 50x Pike (including 10 doubles)
  • A 3lb+ perch
Well, that's the pre-season plan - if history is anything to go by - I'm not particularly prone to sticking to it (watch out barbel). Anyway, tight lines fellow bloggers - look forward to reading about your exploits over the coming year. Hope to see a few PBs pop up.

    1. A season full of promise (if my back behaves). Looking forward to predator season - but hopefully get a few carp in first. Have a great season - big inroads to cracking that 40 double target I hope!

  2. Am sure you both will do well, I look forward to reading. My target is likely to try get out some more, life has "got in the way" this year, although its been an enjoyable distraction. Tight lines all round for the coming exploits!!

    1. As long as the distraction is enjoyable - that can’t be bad! Good luck when you venture out - look forward to the reports…
