A few weeks ago we decided to plan a session with family to try and fish one of our favorite venues, Corriloch wedding venue and koi farm.This boutique venue has really become a special place in our hearts. We arrived late on Friday evening and set up as quickly as possible. We dropped our linesContinue reading “Weekend capers”

Teaching the young.
Sometimes you are given experiences that are there to humble you and sometimes to toughen you. The last few sessions have been a little of both. Between blanking and battling and suddenly catching something beautiful. Knowing and meeting amazing people to been attacked by others. The sport we love has its ups and downs, butContinue reading “Teaching the young.”
Fighting the forces
This past weekend R was lucky enough to get a spot in a competition at Florida Lake. Many hours of planning and thought went into his strategy. I couldn’t be happier for him and offered my cooking skills to help and assist with the actual preparation. At the last minute a change had to beContinue reading “Fighting the forces”
The Big Blank
Each and every time we go out on the bank we prepare ourselves to the max and try cover every angle from what spots to what bait and what rig. Once it is in the water there is an element of fate that we have no control over. There is always the possibility that weContinue reading “The Big Blank”
A comedy of errors

In general people are very cliquey, and even though you greet and acknowledge others, we tend toContinue reading “To Tell or Not To Tell.”
Nature’s television
Waking up on a cold winters morning and hearing the silence. The sun barely peaking through the clouds as the world slowly begins to wake. Seeing the first drops of sunlight kiss the ripples on the water. The smell of the damp earth as the dew settles onto the grass. Waking up at sunrise andContinue reading “Nature’s television”
Mother Nature
With the lift of lockdown and recreational fishing being allowed it felt like I had a little bit of life returning to me. During the days of being quarantined inside I realised that what I longed for was the immersion of myself in nature and fresh air. Sitting in the sunshine waiting for the screamingContinue reading “Mother Nature”
Bikinis on the bank
Sometimes being a girl is hard, but sometimes being a girl is the best thing ever. Being a girl on the bank varies between the two extremes at least 100 times per session. There are so many challenges that we face, like bathroom breaks (seriously considering purchasing a RidgeMonkey cozee toilet seat to help withContinue reading “Bikinis on the bank”
