alright charlie, ask my dad about his old rod, its american oak about an inch thick at the end, like a washing line prop!

charlie i am still using a greenhart rod and a bent pin for a hook

hi chaps my first post lets put the cat amongst the pidgeons my learning curve started in school on the alex wall greenheart rod ( my mates grandads)8 oz lead and believe it or not a scarboro reel we had to side cast no other way with a scarboro with the result we were casting over everyone and we got fed up and were going to pack up and the next guy to us keep trying thats the way to learn so we did and im still casting over everyone who was it sed try try try again cheers for now

Great for the roach off Perch Rock!

Some good photos posted,nice rainbow trout as well.Never had one that big.We fish the Alwyn most seasons,best there when the water level is right down.Spinning, float fishing and ledgering with worm.Never tried the fluff throwing,may have a go later in the year.

Steve,my secret weapon for next Saturday- size 24 hooks our kid uses them all the time.

Fair comment. To me match fishing is fun, as is fishing in general. Having good company is half of it, but its so much better when you are catching plenty nice photos by the way

i agree with you club matches are for fun more than serious comps, thats why it doesnt matter if we catch, just have fun and banter and we will hopefully get some more anglers on the beach cause theres always someone to laugh at
am looking forward to the next match for some relaxation and fun ( hopefully some fish too )
anyway you cant learn off me cause i know nothing

Oh dear,
listen lads,how many times do I have to say it.We fish for FUN,the day when it gets serious and competitive is the day John and I lose interest and pack it all in.Yes we fish as many club matches as we can,but we are there to enjoy the fishing and the banter with everyone,if by chance we happen to win,then great,if not, we still enjoy it,even if we blank.I think thats the big difference between match men and pleasure anglers.To each his own.

Match fishing is not for me and never will be.Agree with the view that you never know it all, and can still learn off more experienced anglers,but how far do you want to take it.

Anyway I,m warming to this website
