Predator Fishing Article - Zander, Pike & Eel - on FishingMagic
Just posted on FishingMagic today is an article about my recent predator session, where I managed to bag a trio of Pike, Eel and Zander, all after dark: http://www.fishingmagic.com/features/coarse_fishing/predator_fishing/15496-predator-fishing-%E2%80%93-andrew-kennedy-nets-a-hat-trick.html
I was testing out a new specimen unhooking mat from Cyprinus and the review of this well-made mat is also on FishingMagic here: Cyprinus Beanie Mat Review

Andrew Joins Fishing Magic as a Contributor!
"Do you remember that fishing blog we used to read? It was alright, you know; nowt special but he could waffle..."
"Yeah, I know the one, but he's been a bit quiet of late..."
Okay, so this blog has started to gather cobwebs in recent months, but I'm back with a bit of news and plenty of waffle as usual. I'm in an internet café at the moment (yes they still exist!), so time is short, but I have plenty to write about as soon as I'm back at my own PC. However, I thought this news was too good to hold back, so I'm sharing it now. I've agreed to become a regular contributor of articles to Eurpoe's largest angling website, http://www.fishingmagic.com/! So far I've only written an introductory piece, which went live this week. You can read it (and if you're an FM forum member, post your comments) at Andrew Kennedy's Intro on www.fishingmagic.com
Big thanks go out to Will Barnard and Ian Welch for having a bit of faith in me; I won't let you down fellas!
More from me soon, but for now, please head over to Fishing Magic and take a look at my intro, which details my life in angling so far. While you're there, take a look at some of the other excellent new contributors, including Welchy himself, Steve Pope and Mark Barrett.
You can also now go straight to all of the articles & features I've done on fishing magic by following this link: http://www.fishingmagic.com/keywords/andrew-kennedy

The Most Popular Fishing Articles on www.Just-Fish.co.uk - March 2010 through March 2011
I've now posted more than 40 articles to my fishing website, www.just-fish.co.uk over the past six years! This I find quite hard to believe, but this blog seems to have added to the popularity of my website, so as long as people keep reading 'em, I'll keep writing 'em!
Now, because I may be a little short of fishing trips to write about in the near future (though I have a fly fishing trip to Errwood Reservoir at Buxton in thepipeline), I thought it would be interesting to check through Google Analytics, to see which of my articles have proven to be the most popular over the past year.
The results were quite surprising. My most popular article over the past 12 months, with over 6,500 views, is the one I wrote a few years ago about fishing the "Lift Method" for carp & tench.
Top 20 Countdown
Okay, pop-pickers, here is the full run-down of the top 20 of my fishing articles, viewed over the last 12 months on www.just-fish.co.uk voted for by you, the angling public! ...Nod 'arf!
I was having a bit of a browse through Blogger the other day and stumbled across some quite astounding fishing-related artwork. Check out some of these "flies" tied by someone with a huge amount of skill and an equally huge imagination: http://www.vksteelworks.com/VKS/Piscivore.html
These flies truly are works of art.
They're not for catching fish, so they certainly don't count as "fishing flies" per se, but I'd suggest more "inspired by fishing flies". Like some kind of post-modern robo-flies! Very impressive indeed.
Finally, I have a few reviews coming up, which I haven't quite got round to finishing off yet, but at some point I'll find the time. These include "Billy's Backbiter" pike fishing bite alarms, "Laserlure" crankbaits & jigs featuring flashing laser lights; both of which I've briefly mentioned before; and lastly, I shall also be reviewing a brilliant little innovation from King Of The Pond, which I've ever-so-slightly pestered them to release... Quick-Change Micro Swivels. These allow you to fish with the benefits of a quick-change swivel, but when using lighter, finer tackle to target specimens of smaller species such as Roach & Perch, or when you need to fish fine to fool finicky Carp & Barbel. They're a rare item of terminal tackle and they fill a definite gap in the market. I'll be using these swivels in the vast majority of my rigs!
