    Indian Rumours
    We have had several people enquire if the rumours they have heard on the fishing grape vine are true? Somehow and by someone, rumors are being spread that Angling Direct Holidays have lost their India weeks to a group of Indians.

    Florida Update

    Florida Update
    I have been guiding on the Florida Keys now for over 15 years and I can honestly say this has been one of the best season ever for both numbers and size of fish. For those of you who have been out with me will know that due to the economic climate which is far worst in America than at home has resulted in a major reduction on the fishing pressure, which consequently has resulted in a huge increase in our results.
