Ageing underachiever!

Post by mikestevens »

Hello to all.
Been around a fair while. PAC member off and on since 87. (currently off!)
Never got the best out of my local big reservoir, not having a golden ticket, or the cash for pred tickets, but have done OK, so cant complain.
Have usually concentrated on rivers for Pike with more success. Sadly most local to me are not what they were for a variety of reasons.
I spend time on all different species as and when opportunities present themselves.
Currently that means a lot of lightish lure fishing from a sit in kayak. Eight species from UK fresh and salt this year. Nothing massive, but lots of fun, and afternoons in bankside pub gardens.
Winter Chub fishing on the stinkiest of baits.
Oh and surface Carp fishing, but as the last three thirties have been on the freelined single mixer, I am happy to admit to them!
Will try to stay out of controversy from now on!

Welcome aboard.

Try a bent minnow for your carp, awesome lure that they will come a long way to snaffle.
