| Hello all Decided to get myself a rod after finding out that our holiday cottage (next to a lake in Sweden) came with a rowing boat & fishing licence. Also, decided it would be a great hobby to take up and share with my 7 year-old son. Used to fly fish on the River Dee when I was teenager growing up in Wales (without much success) until I got distracted by footie & girls!!! At the moment, I have got the following kit: - 7ft telescopic rod - fixed spool reel - crystal waggler float - size 10 & size 14 hooks Baits used - sweetcorn, maggots, worms, bread, spam, halibut pellets (as feed). Fish in still water lakes nearby, stocked with carp, perch, pike, roach & rudd. So far I have had 1 sucessfull day (1 perch & 8 roach) and others where I have caught absolutely nothing. Enjoying it lots, however in need of some hints, tips & luck please !!!! Thanks Sion __________________ Sion&Robyn Float & feeder - Lakes nr. East Grinstead, Sussex Species caught -Perch, Roach, Dace, Bream, Common Carp, Mirror, Crucian, Gudgeon, Rudd, Tench, Goldfish Would like to catch next - Chub     |

| Re: Hello all welcome sion, my first bit of advice would be getting some smaller hooks, 16s/18s, this should help with bait presentation __________________ good luck and tight lines chris lifes to short for animosity. |

| Re: Hello all Welcome to the forum Sion  My advice would be to stop fishing now,before you get addicted and start spending every penny you have on tackle  Although having said that,it is probably too late to stop as you have already caugh your first fish Seems to me like you're doomed  |
