Leisure Angling is promoting and organising this prestigious 5-day/5-venue festival in Ireland where the total payout will be in excess of I£ 10,000.

Lures can be expensive, so Budgie comes to the rescue with words and pictures showing how to make your own. And probably better than shop-bought.

Has another barbel topping 19lb been caught from the Great Ouse? UPDATE!

One bite on a frosty morning wins the match with a near 6lb common carp, and two nice mirrors from Burton Mere for a 16 year old.

Round 4 sees the teams move onto Lakeview near Bodmin, and with a light fall of snow, it really did feel like a winter league match.

"There is life out there, and as we know it. With increasing fish numbers from most marks, so with any luck these improvements will continue."

Fish stock checks are underway on Liverpool park lakes and Larkhill Park lake regulars are predicting the result on all three lakes - too many carp and some monster fish that could take the scales at 25lb or more!

Rik says, "Cut down on your gear, it will make you more mobile and more willing to move, which leads on nicely to one of my major rules when winter carping - If you see a carp.......get on it!"
