We return with much to discuss. Dan has had tooth surgery and sounds like he's had a long weekend in Amsterdam! That aside we still muster up the energy to finally announce the winners of. our JDM giveaway so if you hear your name then please forward you addresses to us via email and you will have some choice gear heading your way.
Ad' recently enjoyed a superb few days on board Unleashed Charters catching all sorts of funk and witnessing some true rarities.
Whilst Ad was representing DnA down West Dan fished the ever popular SMAC species hunt on his local patch.
The Ballan fishing is still producing and there's plenty there to discuss from a recent day out.
Lastly both Dan and Ad have been consumed with 'Whatnot' and watching what our American cousins are selling, the DnA bank account has taken a hammering!!
Tight Lines DnAers.

We maintained radio silence for weeks and now we can't stop podding!
Q&A is the order of business this week and it's long overdue. Tompot Vs Scorpos, Split rings and big Perch problems are all topics of discussion. We get excited by a Fipsed rules comp on the horizon and shout out the Team England Streetfishing squad as they embark on their USA adventures.
Sit back, crack open a French fancy as there is much to discuss.

We're back by popular demand! Apologies for not gracing your listening devices sooner but we do have other stuff to do, you know.
A decade ago we were lucky enough to fish the old B.L.A.C finals at Chew and whilst it was a steep learning curve we caught a few fish and even got on the podium. With a huge head of Pike and some immense Perch its a water that is held dear to many a UK predator angler. The Lure Anglers Society has held its annual Pike Cup on Chew for several years and this time around we (DnA) got lucky on the draw and secured a space for a days Pike fishing at place where a 40lb Pike is a possibility, even if we have no desire to catch such a beast.
We have a love/hate relationship with Pike, they've won us comps and have eaten our JDM but when given a chance to head to Bristol for a day on the water we couldn't say no. Could we possibly fall in love with these green & toothy trouble makers? NO!
We will return to normal service with some Saltwater species action soon as well as all the usual nonsense.
Glad to be back and tight lines. DnA.

This is a long one folks so you may want to set some time aside or break it down into bitesize chunks. Lets be honest, its more of an audiobook titled 'A love letter to Cornwall'
We have species, fireworks and pasties.
We have surprise topwater action and DnA firsts.
We have prizes and beer.
What more can you want?

We are back to normal service thanks to an old fashioned species hunt in Weymouth fishing the incredible Big Lerf Fundraiser and thankfully we didn't disgrace ourselves against the new players.
There is a listener question regarding fishing the far bank in canals and we are weighed down here at DnA HQ with the images submitted to our JDM 'cool points' giveaway.
All this and more, there is always much to discuss.
dnafishingpod@gmail.com for all your correspondence whether its cool points or questions. We love your Q's as it gets our mind cogs whirring and saves us looking for content!!!
You will catch a lifer this week if you subscribe to us.

With much to discuss we are back with firm details on our JDM giveaway.
We preview the upcoming Big Lerf fundraiser in Weymouth which promises to be the biggest LRF event in the calendar.
We talk at length (too much some say) about what makes certain methods "cool" thanks to an excellent piece of correspondence from our friend, Jake.
Ad' gets excited at the prospect of freshwater champions poaching our fish and Dan gets equally excited about a Bass comp he didn't fish.
Finally there is a solid link between Wrasse fishing and the need to exercise more, here at DnA we aren't afraid to tackle the taboo subjects.
dnafishingpod@gmail.com is the important email address you will need.
Until next time, friends.....

The second instalment of our Sea Angling Classic 2025 extravaganza. We pick up half way through day 1 when we are just about to go Bass fishing and then onto the Rays. Day 2 leaves us all to play for. Can we see the tournament out to get our first podium?

We are back after a reasonable hiatus with our breakdown of the Sea Angling Classic 2025 and full disclosure here, it is one we want to win. Based out of our home town of Portsmouth this event is like no other with big prizes and even bigger boats. The question was could we get the big fish to elevate us from our previous best of 10th place into a podium position. So please come along for the ride in this, the first of a two parter where we relive the highs and higher highs of a memorable event.

We're back with tales of Lesbos ornithology mixed with ultra clear water fishing. Dan finally banks his first Scorpion fish of the season which officially means light game season is OPEN.
We celebrate our first Ballan boat prize with a PB of 51cm during the Sea Angling Classic Meet N Fish which we are claiming as a worlds first.
There are misty eyes as we mourn the untimely end of one of our favourite charter boats but we look up not down on this pod so its full steam ahead with a bumper lure fishing calendar with hopefully plenty of pod content to enter your ears.
Apologies for. the schoolboy jokes!
Keep catchin'

The sun is shining, weather is sweet. Makes us want move our lure-ing feet. We're back back back with Perch Turbo reports, Light Game frustrations and Ads first boat session proper of 2025. There is a new comp on the calendar courtesy of https://www.lowen-chy-angling.com/ Lure Jam in August and Tacklewave do us a solid by donating to our JDM giveaway prize pile with some of the exquisite Keitech Shad Impact soft plastics as mentioned in Ep26.
Well done everyone, we've all been spared and have made it to another Spring so dust off the plastic and get involved.
Please get in touch with us at dnafishingpod@gmail.com or find us on the socials. We love to hear what you're all up to whilst wasting some time by the water.
Enjoy the tightest of lines and thanks for letting us into your ears.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we reveal a lure that has not only accounted for lots of 40cm plus Perch but has also created memories that will last a lifetime. The Keitech Shad Impact unlocked a method that has won us competitions, caught PBs and given two silly saltwater anglers a fighting chance in the freshwater predator angling scene. So, sit back and indulge us as we talk about a soft plastic with such fondness it borders on being creepy!!
We will be Perch fishing up at Rutland in April hence the timing of this one. The sea temps are slowly improving and the sunshine is getting us juiced up for another season but we still hold our stripy friends very dear and will wax lyrical whenever we have the chance.
See you on the sea!

Let's make X Layers great again! It's a simple message but after Ads visit to the BASS show he's reminded that sometimes the OGs are great for a reason. We discus TPR bait and storage and more Kit Kat chat.

More listeners questions this week. Comp tactics and saltwater bow mount are the subjects up for debate.
