Best .....

1, At the start of 2010 the team i fished with in the hankat teams of 3 , Ian Didcote (Diddy) , Shaun Gould & meself had a brilliant series not doing much wrong only to fall a few points short of winning it.

2 A nice and much needed individual win on the 85 peg Crewe summer canal league on the Shroppie @ Wardle.

3 A brilliant team performance from the team i fished with in the Crewe summer canal league to finish 2nd overall in the series ,  a huge effort from the lads and particularly queenie boy (Lewis Breeze) .

4 Winning the Shropshire canals winter league with my new team Ted Carter Southport , a brilliant effort from the lads 


Worst ....

1 Proper lost my fishing mojo in the middle of 2010 ...... it was great to find my enthusiasm again 

2, Almost turned to the darkside in the summer   

3, All the miles us lads in the NW have to travel to fish good competitive leagues.

4, Im on a real bad run of draws ..... hope it ends sooner rather than later   :(


 

My best moments from fishing is an easy ask.

1. Just being able to go is enough for me these days
2. Finally getting Julie (the wife) to go to Rolfs for a couple of days and for her to actually fish which i never thought would happen.
3. Watching and helping Liam start to really get a feel for fishing and loving it, especially the day that Budgie allowed Liam to fish a 5 hour knock up on his gear to catch over 90lb of carp with fish to 18lb 8oz.

Worst moments.

NONE

Best in no order.....

My whole family (Si, Mum, Dad, Brother and Sister all being at Rolfs for a weekend- and all fishing, and enjoying it too!
