DNA Fishing Podcast

Welcome folks! In this Ep we breakdown our heroic failure in a Zander Comp, we look ahead to this years Cornish Lure Festival and we answer some listeners questions which we love to do. Please find us across all socials and if you have any questions, advice or just want to brag about a catch then drop us a line on Insta, just search for DNA fishing pod or individually @mradamkirby or @therealdansi...

We're back Baby! This time we're discussing a recent boat fishing trip targeting Bass on lures with our friend, 'the King of Rutland', Richard Coles. We crown Weymouth as the capital of UK light game fishing (again). We attempt to answer listeners' questions. Plus we talk through our plans for the Lure Anglers Society's Zander Cup at Grafham Water. All this and much more besides. Hosted on Acast....

We have done the canal and we've competed on the boat but for the third instalment of DNA Versus we head to the sunny south coast for a lure based species hunt. There's some useful tips, some giant Scorpo's and an aircraft carrier-this episode has it all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trophy fish come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and if you know anything of our work you'll know that we adore the smaller, more obscure species that inhabit our shores. Today's topic is the diminutive little Butterfly Blenny which we have been lucky enough to stumble upon and on a recent July trip we went back to see if they're where we left them almost two years ago. We also get into a game of...

Here is the much delayed episode that follows our adventures fishing the Sea Angling Classic this year. The awful weather, the colds and the race to win a boat are all laid bare in this pod that we've had to drag back from deletion after some tech issues. Apologies for the delay everyone and please enjoy our annual bait fishing extravaganza. dnafishingpod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/p...

Summer Zander fishing is a rare treat for us, we're usually getting salt on our lures in June but we had to fish this event for many reasons and not least to catch giant Zander in shallow water.....or so we thought! Join us as we break down our weekend away Zander fishing hoping to get another podium finish at Graham Water. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Here we go. As promised, our latest DNA Versus episode is the inaugural edition of ‘Wrasse Pro’, fishing head-to-head against each other out on the boat. Big colourful Ballan Wrasse are the target and in a slight twist we weigh all captures to gain our total top five fishes combined weight, inline with what we've come to see in the US bass fishing tournaments. We've never put a Ballan on the scale...

This time around Adam gives us the lowdown on his Kefalonia Kebabs mixed with some Med clear water lure fishing. Dan explains his awful start to the year including tanking at Pike Maniacs! We discuss the first ever Wrasse Pro which is the exciting new comp devised and fished by the DNA crew but mainly its two mates catching up. Thanks to everyone for listening and tight lines. DnA Hosted on Acast....

On this award winning episode we report from the recent Lure Anglers Society Canal Cup match on the Oxford canal with mixed results, for us at least. Ad gives us the lowdown on some of HTOs 2024 line up including some quality entry level rods that defy their price point. Dan has been poached by the LAS! Listeners questions finally get answered. We are nearly ready for the saltwater games to begin...

Welcome aboard. We're back, back ,back with a very late episode that covers our visit to the Big One show and more specifically the Lure Live section ran by Predator tackle. It was a nice gauge of where the lure scene is at in the UK and whilst it isn't yet shoulder barging the Carp guys into the long grass it's certainly holding its own. We spent a few quid, met some great people and ate some won...

Ad manages to stay in the country long enough to record episode 8, after a pizza-filled, dream trip to Lake Bolsena, Italy with Lowrance - the marine electronics experts. In this episode we discuss what it's like to be a 'Bass pro' for a few hours. Ad shares the nuggets of information gleaned from a genuine, Italian bass fishing professional. And of course, we bring you detail of an exciting, new...

We're back, back, back! Having mostly recovered from jet lag, aggressive cold symptoms and single-handedly propping up the Japanese economy we offer some more truth nuggets from our trip to Japan which mainly consists of what we spent our money on and when buyers remorse kicks in. To kick us off we have the legend that is George Cunningham easing us into episode 7 with the most epic of intros. Rec...

This is the first of our pods telling the story of our recent trip to Osaka, Japan where we immersed ourselves into the JDM motherland. From the insane Osaka tackle show to the delicate Megabass showcase event and everything in between we hope it gives listeners a tiny insight into our adventures some 6000 miles from home. There will be way more to come and we will deep dive into some of our purch...

We're back with some BIG news for Episode 5. In fact, the news is so BIG it demands a BIG intro as well. So, we are honoured to have our good friend and lure angling behemoth, Thom Hunt ease us into this podcast, where we reveal our upcoming travel plans. As well as what we haven't been catching recently and some of the things we are looking ahead to in 2024. January and February can be a miserabl...

In what is likely a ground-breaking podcast, we pit our wits against each other in the first ever 'live' recorded lure fishing tournament. Fished on the Kennet and Avon Canal in Hungerford, which holds a decent stock of both Perch and Pike. How will we each approach the venue with a randomly selected set of rules, and ultimately who will come out on top? Will it be former and current UK street fis...

After a short hiatus we return to discuss the effect of pressurised fish and how it affects lure choice. We also reminisce about how we used to approach the old British Lure Angling Championships events and wonder how we would fare if we were to enter the Elite series events currently ongoing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After the high-kicking hoopla of episode one we leave behind the mind bending complication of species hunting and instead focus on one of the prettiest fish and indeed hardest fighting targets which is the mighty Ballan Wrasse but not before Adam takes us on an early season recce on the canal. Armed with hard-body lures ranging from small Jerkbaits to micro Shad Baits, this was just an excuse to g...

The first of our Pods takes us deep into the UK's West Country to once again test our stamina and skill against some of the best light game anglers around. The Cornish Lure Festival has long provided saltwater anglers a stern test but this year saw some pretty radical format changes that made us have to work even harder for every fish. We break down how small tactical tweaks can reap big rewards a...
