Short Session Summer Barbel Article in this months Coarse Angling Today magazine - out now!

Those of you who are regular readers of Coarse Angling Today magazine, keep an eye out for my 5-page article on short-session summer barbel fishing.  If you've never read it before and you enjoy multi-species fishing, it's one of the best mags out there...


It's the first article I've had published in CAT (but hopefully the first of many!) and besides being apt for the conditions right now, it explains most of what a novice or first-time barbel angler needs to consider to have a go at catching summer barbel, after work. If anyone reads it and wants some further info, then I'd be happy to respond via email or on here.

This months issue is a rivers special, with an extra 32 pages for the normal price of £2.95, so it's a bit of a bargain!
