Not really into match fishing, more of a pleasure angler.
I gave up fishing in 2009 after my fishing buddy, my Dad, died. I went fishing a month later at Carneys in Rugeley, sat there for 45 minutes without wetting a line, packed up, went home, and sold my gear!
Sad bit out of the way!!!! :(
OK....... been fishing for donkeys years, moved to Cleethorpes 2007, became a level 1 coach in coarse and fly, moved back in 2008 ( coz my Dad was ill and I was homesick), I foster kids full time as a job.
Not looking to enter competitions, but I wouldn't mind meeting up with guys for fishing trips, sessions on commercials etc...
I am in the process of buying new kit, but a bit out of touch. I am not going to spend mega bucks and not going to refill my garage with tackle!
I prefer old school rod and line, I tried Pole, I was OK with it but I think I prefer a rod.
My idea is to buy a combo rod (float/Feeder) and a couple of reels. Possibly the TFG Banshee Combo. I still have some of the kids rods I had for coaching so gonna go round my Mums and sort them out for the foster kids to use.
I will probably start using Carnys again, definitely the canal ( walk down memory lane) and the pool on the Hednesford Road if anybody knows it! I did see a lot of input from guys in the Rugeley area, hence me joining this forum.
Anybody wants to PM me to setup a session or just pop around for a cup of tea and chat, you are more than welcome.
Regards,
Steve.
chuck a couple of tins of sweetcorn in with the groundbait.
