Check out the feature pages of the site to read my heads up on becoming a star of the sport. I get hundreds of enquiries every year from parents, kids and adults whom want to know what it takes to make a living out of angling. I have tried to lay it out warts and all in this feature.

I was out with my good friend the duke last week when he informed me that he has just written and published a new book. Apparently, it’s the latest in a line of releases from Fox and goes under the banner of ‘The Mick Brown Guide to Pike and predators’ or something like that. Anyhow, I got the first copy, signed and dedicated by the old buffer and despite his advancing senility he seems to have made a good fist of it!

Seriously, this is a great book for anyone who likes predator fishing. It’s packed with rigs, tips and photos that cover the full discipline of fishing for stuff with teeth in the UK. Pike are there in plenty, as you would expect, but there’s also stuff on zander, catfish and eels.

Check out the new feature I have posted about fishing for cod in Norway. This is the perfect short break for anglers looking to experience fishing that is quite unique in one of the world’s last great wildernesses. And the best news of all is that it is less than a three hour flight away!

For those of you whom are looking for a short break with the missus with some fioshing thrown in, the North of Norway is perfect: while you fish for giant cod to over fifty pounds, the wife can enjoy some snowshoe walking, armoatherapy, massage etc., and the best part of all is that if you go in the winter you can both pop out at night to gaze at the Northern lights.
