i know what it fells like mate i know go for 20s and 30s but nothing is better than the first

[geordie_lad2k9]

well hopefully this is just the start,the only downside i hav,i`m unable to get transport so the public bus is the only form of travel,but i do go with a mate who has a car but dont like to put on to him too much

The first will be amemory that stays wiith you for ages. As i began catching tiny things, stickles backs etc it was amagic moment. Took hours to land. It was on a fly rod, I'd caught soem stockie rainbows to 1lb, when 7LB carp came along.
Again congratualtions, but if I may say, don't concentrate on one species only, winters comming, at about 50mph if what I hear outside the window is true, and that leads to some other species comming out to play.

[geordie_lad2k9]

hmmm...thought with winter setting in things get a lot quieter with the fish sitting on the bottom and not feeding as much (living off there fat so to speak)
