Blogging Marvellous

I’ve written before about fishing blogs and I’m sure many of you will agree that the Big Carp Hunter blog compiled by Jake Langley-Hobbs is one of the best and most inspirational there is! Jake has put himself in a unique position most of us cannot even begin to comprehend. There are, however, dozens of other good blogs that are compiled by everyday anglers such as you and I. Many of these are carp fishing blogs but recently I’ve really been enjoying some of the ones compiled by all round specimen anglers. Another that I always keep an eye on is Steve Harrison’s of Harrison Advanced Rods. Steve’s blog is somewhat unique in the world of fishing as it rarely features him actually going fishing. It entails his escapades on his beloved motorbike and all things carbon in the workplace.

What I’d really like to know though is do you compile a blog? If you do, then please send me a link and I’ll be sure to cast my eye over it during the coming months. I appreciate it’s not the best fishing weather at the moment so your blogs may be a little light on recent material. Well don’t worry about that, send me the links and I’ll keep an eye on them over the coming months. Any that really stand out I’ll flag up for the rest of the world to enjoy!

Tight lines,
