Member Introductions :)

I'm dudster just saying hello
from Nottinghamshire i like carp and barbel fishing on rivers and local ponds.

Many thanks to all get your introductions out the way cheers

im bim, i like fishing when i get chance, altho i think that my car and decks are more of a part of me than what fishing is :lol:

Hi everyone fishing is pretty much my passion i love nothing more than a session on the bank after my quarry. Although catching is nice i am as happy just to be there enjoying my surroundings and the nature that resides there. For this reason alone i choose not to fish featureless mud holes in the ground no matter what they may contain. The whole experience for me comes as a package and not sold as seperate.

John >>hello

Currently in a very nostalgic mood and thinking about buying a splt cane rod :D

I hit the Welland at the worst possible time I reckon Martyn,very low,clear water :rolleyes:

Spent most of October walking the river for when conditions are better but then went to Iceland in November which acted as a metaphorical full stop to the chubbing. Getting a winter ticket on Bundys took my head even further away from the Chub :D

The rivers been flooded lately,as have many of them, but seems to be fining down nicely so I might get down there again before the close.Problem being two of my carp tickets run till March/April and I'm not rejoining this year so was looking to give them a last blast ;)

Tips!! From me???

I haven't had a carp since August and only one Chub worthy of note in October so I doubt I should be passing out tips :lol:

Thanks for the welcome :)

I know what you're saying.With the bivvy and buzzer fishing its all too easy to end up just going through the motions :rolleyes:

Thats not what I'd class as real "angling" anyhow.Angling should be more pro active, at least holding the rod :D

Been thinking about my angling since my Redmire trip last year and how much I enjoyed the fish i caught on my terms. Thats how I started fishing for carp in the 80s..1 rod which was used for surface fishing or stalking and the mobile approach.

Hello Chaps,,
Got a PM on another forum about this site. So, Martyn, here I am, back from my oceanic wanderings again for another 6 weeks.

Hello to everyone.

Steve Green

Hi folks my name is BOF, thats an acronym for B..oring O....ld F...you supply the word. :D
I've been angling for 43 years, 99% of it specimen hunting, (but most of it was unsuccessful).
Done Carp*, Barbel, and Chub mainly, but dabbled, as most of my generation did, in almost everything.
*Covered a lot of waters from the Scotish borders to the Colne Valley as well.
Took early retirement and so spend far too much time if the weather is poor sitting in front of this thing typing away.

BOF ;)
(I'm on a learning curve still...its just still nearly vertical)

Welcome on board Bof, nice to to hear from a seasoned all round angler ( few and far between these days), feel sure you will enjoy your time on here. :D

I hope so John.
Anyone wanting info on any of my prefered species ask away, and I will do my best to answer it sensibly, ( but I may not always succeed :D ).

BOF ;)
