I'm a very lucky man and I know it. I've done a bit of writing over the years; travel and business magazines mostly; but I've done a lot more fishing. These stories are made up from travel pieces that have been commissioned or placed in a variety of publications in edited form. Online I get to ramble a bit more...

So come fishing with me for Trout and Salmon in the rivers and lochs of Scotland and then we can head to Russia to fish the Middle Varzuga for some huge numbers of fish. Or we can go into the oceans of the world and catch Blue marlin in Mauritius, White marlin in Venezuela, Striped marlin in Cabo San Lucas, Black marlin in Panama and Sailfish in Costa Rica. Inshore we can catch kingfish, redfish and sharks. I've caught a lot of fish but the list of fish I still want to catch is probably endless...I've got time.

Having said that, I'm no expert and these pages do not hold gems of wisdom that will help you get more or bigger fish. They are merely the musings of a traveller who understands that catching fish is the objective, but not entirely the point, of fishing.

And, as often happens, what started as a hobby site grew arms and legs until it eventually became a full-blown book. In February 2004 it was published under the slightly enhanced title Game Fishing Diaries: Details from Fishing in Life and is now available from most outlets from as little a $3.99 for an eBook including:

Amazon.com
Barnes and Noble
 

The stories are all here online anyway which kinda defeats any commercial goals my publishers may have had for me but then I didn't do it for the money - and since the publishers have only paid me royalties once in 5 years (despite the book selling more than an handful of copies) I think that everyone may as well have the stories for free!

So whether you just browse the site or buy the book - I wish you tight lines.

Fish on!
