Me and my younger brother used to take fishing parties out in the Winter time after Cod and Whitings , I always thought that everyone stand the same chance as everyone else whilst fishing on a boat , as I didn't do a lot of sea fishing I always seem to end up with less fish than the others , why ? I even had them bait my hooks up at times but still couldn't match the number these chaps caught , if I did get a bigger one it was more by luck than the little skill I had .

nobbyathome Posted August 22, 2024 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2024 Thanks marshman but I know Steve is a far better fisherman than I will ever be I took him to keston ponds ( local to me on Kent ) when he was about 8 and he was hooked from there spent all his life fishing and has no other hobbies apart from a bit of shooting ( that I am better at ) and goes to France or Spain every year for carp or catfish I am just proud to be here with him for the first time and tonight I have actually caught two a 45 lb common and a 29 mirror I will post pictures on the forum when it allows me to still got two full days left 5 hours ago, London Best said: Christ!

jameshunter Posted October 30, 2024 Report Share Posted October 30, 2024 Congrats on those personal bests, especially that 66lb mirror—what a beauty! I’m heading to France next month myself, but more for sightseeing and hitting some top destinations. Planning to squeeze in a bit of fishing too, though! I’m going with https://gowithguide.com/France to explore a bit more of the country. Can’t wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
