Famous for bringing fishing to mainstream TV in the 80’s with his popular Go Fishing series that went on to run for over a decade, Londoner John was no mean angler either with a string of massive fish both at home and abroad to his credit with roach remaining his favourite species.
Often controversial with views on water abstraction and predation in the UK, John moved to Thailand in 2013 and passed away surrounded by his family and friends. He was 75. Angling Times is preparing a special tribute issue and will update this story over the coming days.
Rest in Peace John.
As hard as mother nature tries to slow the fish down, they still keep feeding exceptionally well with both match and pleasure catches well above average for the time of year.
Wednesday the 7th of November - Over 60's Open - Jay Lake - 17 fished
The 17 anglers who fished Wednesdays Over 60's Open on Jay lake was fished in what can only be described as a typical autumnal day, with heavy showers and sunshine dictating the conditions, making the going far from easy for those on the bank.
Will Hadley took top spot from peg 16, with a very hard earned 97lbs 08ozs, all caught on bread fished to the far bank and near margins. Kevin Sands on peg 2 found the better fish on the far shelf to put 88lbs 4ozs, with third on the day going to Adrian hunter on peg 11 putting 79lbs on the scales.

Saturday the 10th of November - Teams of Three Winter League - Round Two - Jay, Magpie & Raven Lakes - 39 Fished
The 39 anglers competing in round two of the Teams of Three Winter League, had to compete on a day that produced absolutely miserable autumnal weather, with heavy rain being the major factor on the day. The temperatures reach a very decent 10 degrees but how would the large volume of cold rain water affect the lakes performance on the day.
however, the heavy rain didn't affect the days sport on all three lakes, with only a select few finding the going really hard on the day, with several weights over 100lbs being recorded by. The tactics on the day were simply, maggots or 4mm expander on the hook, with either dead maggot, micro pellet and groundbait, all producing well but the method that is now coming into its own is dobbing bread with big weights always possible from the right areas.
