The Banana Common
Mark and Jamie have kept me company on the bank for most of my recent fishing. Some of the interviews have been fantastic and well worth referring back to if you're presented with a challenging fishing situation. The 'blokey' banter is refreshing for an expat in Holland too. I miss it and hope it returns asap although I can appreciate the work and effort involved - especially chasing people for interviews. Most podcasts carry some form of advertising, it's not hard to forward through this. It's fair enough for Jamie to raise awareness of NAS and VIP Holidays after the time he's invested providing a podcast. For me, it's far more entertaining than listening to Radio4 on LongWave or The World Service, back in the day. My only gripe is the use of 'Europe' as though it's one place / country. Try telling the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish and Danes they're all the same : ) Also, fishing in France is NOT just pay lakes stuffed with named known fish - try the Rhone, Moselle, Seine, Lot and thousands of other 'bits of blue' that are wild, unknown, unchartered and aren't doing 'all day breakfasts' and a lodge with Sky TV - it's there if you look for it. Ask Samir@Nash about The Pyrenees or John Timmermans about his adventures. Personally, I'm relieved I'm not fighting for swims on daytickets, or waiting to become the 74th angler to catch a 'known fish' from a syndicate, forget that! Fave story is the Banana Common from The Shropshire Mere - a classic carp legend, love it!Read full review »

Great podcast - driven by a passion for carp fishing. Mark and Jamie are perfect for this format. What works so well are the interviews, you really feel that you get to know the anglers involved - a testament to the easy going style adopted. Top work guys.
