Throughout these pages my aim is to encourage new or existing pleasure anglers into the world of competitive commercial match angling. This can be difficult for the beginner or even the more experienced angler at first but once your up and running the sport of match fishing can be very pleasurable to all. I've been match fishing for over 20 years now, based in Evesham, Worcestershire and though these pages I try to give little hints and tips in a simple way that will help the newer match anglers. There's a lot of technical information on tackle and tactics produced by many leading tackle companies on the internet these days which are all excellent and a lot can by learnt by reading these articles. We now have social media these days and there's plenty of great content out there published this way and these are a great learning tool for all.
So I keep the in depth tackle and tactics for these people to post on the internet for all to read. In effect everybody fishes the same tactic's and methods but the top anglers still seem to have an edge and regularly win. So it must be their thinking during matches that sets them apart from all the rest. This is my main aim my my blogs. I hope you enjoy reading them.
Being based in Evesham, Worcestershire, I am lucky to have a whole raft of Commercial venues local to me. I tend to move around these venues periodically fishing mainly their open matches. Having a large choice of venues enables me to fish a variety of different methods and styles. However it can be difficult to beat the venue experts who only choose to fish their one preferred venue and know it inside out. That's not for me. I enjoy the variety of methods and tactics these venues bring and that's why I travel to them. I think this makes be a better angler. Going to the same venue week in and week out, really isn't for me and I'm blessed to have some of the Country's top Commercials within a hours drive.
My matches are mainly Commercial Opens with a odd local Knock up match between my fishing mates. When I've done well and had a brown envelope to pick up. I'll write it up on my blog page. I tend to give a fair and true description of what I did but I highlight whats running though my mind and the changes I may have needed to make during the match. We all read the Angling magazines for the latest tactics and tackle set ups so I only briefly mentions this. I try to concentrate my blogs on my thinking rather than the tactics used. There is plenty of online information on tactics and methods and this is done far better by some of the Country's top match anglers than I ever could anyway.
