Firstly, Carl Allman of Rio Ebro Angling, who we chose to fish the Ebro with - for zander, roach, carp and catfish - last September, acheived second place in IGFA's World Record Acheivement Awards, as acknowledgement of him guiding anglers to a total of 18 line class World Records during 2011 alone! I'd like to say I was one of those anglers... but I'd be lying!
Rio Ebro Angling also have a newly redesigned website http://www.rioebroangling.com/ and I urge you to check it out if you're thinking of venturing to foreign shores in search of fish this Summer. There is a limit to how many bookings a single guide can take and I assure you Carl is among the best, so make your enquiries sooner rather than later.
I wrote an article a little while ago, about storing and keeping worms, including lobworms and denbrobaenas ("dendras"). I've put it up on my website. If you want good, plump, fresh worms whenever you need them, without spending a fortune keeping them, it's worth taking a look: http://www.just-fish.co.uk/articles/41-keeping-worms-fishing-bait.html
I also have three more features up on FishingMagic.com, the first is a step-by-step photo guide on how to make your own buoyant leger stems which are both cheap and robust: Make your own Leger Stems
The other features are two reviews of Cyprinus products. The first of which is an oval brolly/shelter called the V3. It's ideal for spring & summer overnighters or for really windy and wet day sessions; just the job for an all-round specialist like I try to be!
Cyprinus V3 Oval Brolly Review
The second Cyprinus review is of their flagship "Whole Hog" fishing accessory chair, which comes complete with all the rod support kit and a little side table too. It even has arm-rests and a reclining back - both luxuries I've never been used to in fishing chairs in the past. The review is here: Cyprinus Whole Hog Fishing Chair Review and also, I noticed there were no instructions with this chair when I opened the box. There are quite a few parts and to put them together for the first time is a bit confusing unless you have diagrams or instructions. I've since found out that there is a PDF instruction leaflet available on request from Cyprinus, so I've also stuck it on my website for convenience, here: Cyprinus Whole Hog Chair Setup Instructions.
Lastly, I came across this video yesterday which shows a novel and quick way of removing a barbed hook from your body, should you be unfortunate enough to hook yourself. It does require another person to assist and it's not for the feint-hearted, but it's a pretty impressive technique:
