What an episode this one is! If ever there was an episode to light your fire and get you wanting to get the rods out. THIS IS IT! As Storm Isha hits us, I'm preparing for my fist session on the bank in over two years, raring to go after listening to Carl's amazing capture of UK 60lb'er!

We're back! Archie Shellard is this week's guest.    This guy can catch them! We cover his early days on Orchid and discuss his more recent time on Bluebell. Look out for future episodes as we'll be doing an 'in-session' film with Archie on the bank.

A whole month has passed since my last 'weekly' episode! We're back (again!) Dan in Amsterdan is today's guest. Dan Mawdesley (Instagram @test_curve)AmsterDan has been fishing for four decades across Britain & Europe.  Based in Holland for almost 30 years, he lives on a dike, rides a bike and has caught Dutch river carp to over 42lb, pike to 31lb and perch over 4lb. In his day job he owns a creative agency (www.vannorth.com) and has won awards for campaigns for brands like Mitsubishi Motors & Nikon. Combining work with his hobby, Dan also launched Dave Lane's own carp brand and created campaigns for Shakespeare, Penn and JRC.
