OMG! Has it really been that long since I went fishing? This situation needs to be rectified... and fast!
Fortunately, although I do have rather a lot of projects on at the moment, I have permission from my wife to go fishing whenever the pressure of work gets too much and I can realy feel it right now!
My Mission Statement 2008
I am on record elsewhere as saying that 'this year I will not be fishing in puddles!' So what exactly does this mean? This year I have decided to concentrate mainly on Sea Fishing and Saltwater Flyfishing (both of which are entirely new aspects of the sport for me).
I shall not neglect Salmon and Sea Trout but I shall not be fishing for Rainbows.
Also, I will do some fishing for coarse fish but I will be flyfishing for them!
All my Salmon, Sea Trout and coarse fish angling excursions will be recorded here, even the 'blanks'.
My sea fishing trips will no longer be found here - I am now publishing them on the wonderful 'SouthWestSeaFishing' site (thanks, Nath!) so get yourself over there for loads of invaluable info about marks in Cornwall and that other one... er... oh, begins with a D... Devon! There's a link on the right.
This is my Mission Statement and it should make for a very interesting year!
As I fish only when work and family commitments permit this blog will not be updated on a regular basis (unless I'm really lucky) but only after I've managed to go fishing. Please do keep 'dropping by' to see what's been happening or press the Posts (Atom) button to receive notification of when the site's been updated. Thank you.

My Mission Statement 2008 - Addendum.
Flushed with the success of my first sea fishing trip of 2008 and inspired by an article entitled ' Increase your shore species tally' by Mike Thrussell (on the World Sea Fishing site) I have decided to try to catch a variety of sea fish species.
According to Mike there are about 90 major species and 40 mini-species to be caught in UK waters. Cornwall is ideally located to attract and make available a wide variety.
Also, the mini-species tend to be more active when the major species (predators) are not. This makes sense and perhaps makes them an ideal target for the holiday angler who has to fit in his fishing around family commitments and cannot neccessarily fish at the 'best' times.
Therefore, I will not neglect the 'odd' species or the
mini-species. After all, this blog and my blog on the 'SouthWestSeaFishing' site are for anyone who wants to catch fish in Cornish waters and must cover a wide range of fish and fishing as possible to provide inspiration and help for a wide range of anglers not just the 'bass specialist' or the 'ray man'....
I have added a '2008 Species tally' to my blog. But what is a reasonable target to set myself? Mike says that he consistantly catches 30+ sea species per year so half that number should be a good starting point for me.
