Dave Coster's Fishing Diary - November
After catching a decent perch on my first trip to the River Glen in October, I decided to go back, better armed this time with some lobworms. The plan was to feed chopped worm and caster on two pole lines: one down the middle and one close to the far

Dave Coster's Fishing Diary - October
My first trip in October was a return visit to Denton Reservoir, near Grantham, still hunting the elusive big bream locals say are resident there. I fished the deeps again from the dam wall, starting off with a groundbait feeder and as usual was
