his long and varied angling career.

both the weight ranks and fishery ranks up to the present time.

Podcast Interview 90: Graeme Pullen, North Cornish Porbeagles: Recorded in 2012. Graeme
Pullen lifts the lid on North Cornwall's inshore porbeagle sharks, then as an addendum, describes the
day he and Wayne Comben caught and filmed the largest shark ever caught in British waters in May
2012.
Podcast Interview 91: Wayne Comben, Plaice: Recorded in 2012. Plaice are one of those species
which all anglers love to catch. They are also a species which commercial fishermen prize, on top of
which, when you do find them, they can be there in big numbers and are therefore vulnerable. Here
Wayne Comben tells how best to approach all aspects of their catching, with a few cautionary examples
of how best to ensure that they will continue to be there year on year.
Podcast Interview 92: Tony Bridge, Gantocks Cod: Recorded in 2012. Back in the late 1960's to
mid 70's, the place to be for monster cod from a small boat was Scotland's inner Clyde, and in particular,
a mark known as the Gantocks, immortalised by three Edinburgh anglers known as 'The Trio'. Then
almost overnight it was cleaned out never to be re-seeded. Fishing at that time with 'The Trio' was Tony
Bridge, who gives us an insight into the fishing over the Gantocks mark, and also offers up some reasons
for its rapid decline.
Podcast Interview 93: Bill Briggs, White Water Worming for Salmon: Recorded in 2012. While it
isn't held in the highest esteem amongst purist salmon anglers, upstream white water worming is not
only a very skilful way of catching salmon in low water conditions, but if done properly, as Bill Briggs
explains in minute detail here, can sometimes be the only way to fish on all rivers some of the time, and
on some rivers pretty much all of the time.
Podcast Interview 94: Graeme Pullen, Carp falacies: Recorded in 2012. New comers to carp fishing
could be forgiven for thinking that electronic alarms, boilies and bivvies are the key requirements for
success. Well it would appear not. Here Graeme Pullen explores an alternative approach to carp which
not only catches lots of fish, but often does so when the boilie brigaide don't see enough action to get
them out of their bed chairs.
