    What a fantastic weeks fishing. Over 460lb of fish between 3 of us. Highlights Pike to 20lb 14oz(12 caught we only throw out deadbaits as we dont target heavily as we like coarse fishing for bream). Bream upto 5lb Rudd to 1lb Perch to 2lb 6oz & even caught a Tench 1st one ever in 12 years & it was a cracking 4lb 4oz.Roll on next year

    Broadway Booked!

    Just back home after 2 weeks on the bigger version Broadlander. It was an amazing boat so your slightly smaller version will be amazing i am sure. We booked Broadlander in 2013 for 2014 holiday & was going to change to Broadway when it was built but it would have cost about £300 more for the smaller boat so toughed it out with bigger boat & only 2 of us on it. Middle cabin gave us loads more storage for clothes & my fishing gear so we didnt really use much of cupboard space. Boat was nice to drive especially with GPS to manage speed. We did find it a bit heavy on the fuel but we did pop heating on a bit in evenings. Im sure you will have a great holiday on a lovely boat.

    Robin thanks for sharing your trip. As always great to see the broads & here your perspective on life & things. I liked how you spread the videos out one every few days so it made it closer to our holiday (5 weeks) when we got the last installment. Great boat review & when Barnes & the other boatyards watch it they might improve this all similar boats in the areas you mention eg driving seat & canopy. Which is always great for the customer.

    Strange how some baits work in certain areas & not in others. Me and my are brother down in 4 weeks so we are getting giddy plus buying loads of bait. All the usual stuff maggot/caster/corn/worms  & bread. Then bags & bags of groundbait & a sack of crumb, hemp & molasses plus a few other bits that might help. Then week after im back with my wife & bringing all the same stuff just a little bit less of it all. Only fair i make room for her clothes lol.

    I received a message from AJB its still there so life will be easier when we need maggots etc. Yes they have a great range & they are so handy to get to  & last year we had no issue with the bait it was always fresh. Thanks for the messages. 6 WEEKS AND COUNTING

    Does anyone know if the tackle shop is still open, we used it last year & it had a good range of tackle & was really handy for where we were fishing. Also does anyone know if it has a website. I looked on google but doesn't seem a lot of info on the few links it brought up. Many thanks for any replies.

    Thanks for the update TrevorandDeidre. Congratulations on your 25th Anniversary donnygeoff. We just celebrated our 25th last month & we are coming down for 2 weeks in Sept/Oct to celebrate but my wife didnt want a old bathtub from Richardsons so im paying top dollar & booked Broadlander. I will bring my fishing gear and get a few short sessions in.

    Just wondering if any one fishing northern rivers & if they are catching. Me and my brother will be down in 9 weeks times & wondered if any one bagging up we usually fish around Horning, Salhouse Broad &  Barton Broad from an old bathtub from Richardsons.

    Robin thanks for your last 2 videos they are great to watch & remind us what we are missing. My wife & i love to see you where you go & enjoy the bits where you chat to the camera. We love the boat reviews to see what you think are the highs & lows of each boat. I know they take a lot of your time but we do really appreciate them. Roll on September as i will be down with my brother fishing & then home for a week before i come down with my wife for 2 weeks on Richardsons Broadlander.

    Hi Clive, Its our 25th wedding aniiversary next June but we are planning to come down back end of September for 2 weeks on Broadlander but saw your earlier comment   'a 38foot version of 'Broadlander' which will be named ' Broadway coming next year. We were looking to book Broadlander but may wait for Broadway. We definetly want one of them preferably the Broadway how do we go about securing Broadway as our main boat with Broadlander as 2nd choice if Broadway delayed for any reason ????

    weekend on a cork

    in Holiday Tales & Blogs

    I think many people learn the hard way as we did on our first trip on a poor boat. That said most people wouldnt want to stay in there own living room for a long weekend, if within that space they had a kitchen a bathroom & bedrooom. When we are down & see those similar boats from Barnes brinkcraft i wonder why anyone would want them as they are about the size of a shoe. The canopys always look a load of hassle we dont even bother with the outside curtains as that seems a pain. Who says size doesnt matter lol. Hope you get a bigger boat next time & loved the duck farting joke.

    business good but could be better

    I will be coming down on Saturday the 14th & will be popping in on the way to the boatyard to get a few maggots. Every little helps i hope. Yes its a shame that some people dont think of the big picture & the impact they may be having on small struggling businesses in these turbulent times. Im sure you are not the only shop/pub these people impact on in the village. When ever i come down to Womack there always seem a steady stream of boats & plenty go straight back down the river & i guess quite a few do as no spaces available
