I read everything that comes in, and I answer as much of it as I can manage around work and time on the bank.
What I am glad to hear about
Questions about gear, rigs, bait or venues. Corrections, especially if you think something here is wrong. Suggestions for guides you would like to see written. Feedback on anything that is unclear or unhelpful.
How to reach me
The quickest way to get hold of me is through the Fishing Again page on Facebook. Send a message there and it comes straight to me.
What I cannot help with
I do not accept guest posts or paid link placements, so please do not ask. I am also not able to arrange day tickets or venue permissions for waters I do not run.
Working with brands
If you are a tackle manufacturer or retailer, I am open to conversations about gear for review, on the condition that coverage is never guaranteed and that any such arrangement is disclosed openly on the page.
Shane Stanford has fished for carp for over twenty years, in the UK and in France, and currently fishes a private syndicate water in West Sussex. He writes Fishing Again to put the things he learned the hard way into plain language: location and watercraft first, then bait, rigs and gear. He is straight about which kit he has actually fished and which he has assessed on specification, and says so on the page.
