Fishing News and Adventures
Fishing generates so many brilliant experiences. There are loads of highs and of course the lows. Not everyday fishing is full of sunshine and big fish, but that’s what make it interesting. The Fishing News and Adventures page will keep you up to date with activity at The School Of Fish, whether we caught a monster or not.
Wet, Wet, Wet!
We were sooo lucky with the weather. In the sun, out the wind and it felt, dare I say it, warm! It was lovely to welcome back familiar faces and some new ones too.
F### it’s February
for a brief moment I thought a Hollywood style wave was about to wash me from my spot! I scrambled up the bank to see what was happening. The storms drain we’re running at full bore and whilst it wasn’t exactly the tsunami I pictured in my head, the fishing spot was definitely f#cked.
Flying through January
For the first time in years, despite being what normally feels like a really long, January has flown by. It’s been a real mix of weather that’s meant the fishing has been really varied and it’s had a little bit of everything.
Reflections and Momentum
Looking back, like you do at the end of a year, 2023 has been a lot of fun. The fishing lessons saw loads of people catching their first fish and in my own time I’ve enjoyed a variety of fishing with a few really good fish along the way. I’ve learnt a few new things which I’ll carry into 2024 and as usual there’s a few more new things I’ve pencilled in that I’d like to try.
Oh baby it’s cold outside!
There’s still lots of good fishing to be had but there’s no doubt it gets a little bit harder and being smart with time is more important than ever.
Big ones at last!
Third cast and here come the “wild swimmers” to whom I remarked, “which one of us looks more daft, you or me!?”. It was 6:30am, dark and fresh. I kind of admired their adventure but I wasn’t about to swap my fishing rod for a pair of speedos!
Big fish or Bust!
September, autumn, less day light, crowds gone, big winds, big seas and, if you get it right, big fish. That’s the theory anyway.
August, it’s over too quickly
That’s one of the things I love about fishing, each season brings new adventures and new weather to enjoy.
Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna Fishing in Cornwall
At the end of July we spotted the first ones for ourselves as reports from the west started to be published online, the Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna are back!
Turning 40, in the rain, catching Bass
Whilst we hatched “plan b” we enjoyed watching a minki whale joined by rissos dolphins and more common dolphins and porpoises than you you shake a stick at. Lovely to see the bay coming to life again and a little earlier this year.
