Hi all

[Serious D]

Im new to this forum, My name is Dan, I have been going fishing since I was about 8, my first ever fish was a 4lp eal, which I cault on the river ely In cardiff, I lived in Cardiff all my life Only moved to Manchester about 4 years ago, the bigest fish I cault in Cardiff was a 7lb Rainbow Trout, I hahe also caut a few good sized chub bigest about 5lb, But in the 4 years I have lived in Manchester I have cault some nice fish some species I have never cault before, Like my first tench wich was a craking 6lp 2oz, My record is 9lp spott on, also cault my first bream here to witch was 7lp 3oz and of course my first carp too wich was a 5lp 5oz Mirror, where I live now there are loads of ponds not to far away from each other so im a little spoilt for choice but only ever seem to fish on two of the ponds, Still water fishing was new to me when I first moved up here, so it took a wile to get my first fish, But now I am just starting to get into carp fishing. last year I was abit guted Because I hooked a wells catfish 2 days in a row and what a suprise I lost them both lol .
