It's all changed now !

I have stuck with a Rod & Reel - Pole Fishing is not for me. Learnt about Feeder Rod Fishing, Bite Alarms, Boilies & Pop Ups etc. Then of course with Commercial Fisheries the catch rate & weight has increased no end. As a kid my biggest ever freshwater fish was around 7 oz. My personal best is now just over 20 lbs for a Mirror Carp & around 23-24 lbs for a Pike when I fished Pode Hole Land Drain down South on New Years Day in 2004/5. I do find it very relaxing so no fishing competitions for me - its all about scenery nature & Human v Fish its all a bit in the primeval part of my brain! The Missus thinks I'm a bit touched in the head. |

I sat and watched this guy fishing for four hours once. Eventually he said to me, "Why don't you give it a go?" I said, "No thanks. I don't have the patience." |

Meanwhile two pegs up an old fella with a split cane rod - even his landing net had a Bamboo handle caught a huge Mirror Carp certainly a doubler. |
