North west newbie

Post by scubasamuk »

Hi all, thanks for the add. Ive been fishing for the last 30 years and caught the odd pike in that time with the biggest being around 13lbs. Ive decided to buy a boat and dedicate all my angling hours to hunting a 20lbs + specimen, thinking of going to the lake district quite abit to get used to the boat and different methods.

Elow :wave:

Please get some hours in on smaller waters in your new boat before you go up to the lakes as it can turn nasty in an instant :eek:

If you have been using boats before just ignore my last remark :wink:

Or he could buy your boat Grant and part of the deal can be you show him the ropes on the big lake :thumbs:

Great advice, Grant. It can get tricky out there. Hello to the community from me as well, by the way!
