Hi all,
Having recently gotten back into fishing, I've been taking two of my kids out with me armed with a couple of junior rods and reels. I seem to be spending most of my time sorting out tangles/broken lines etc on their rods and not getting much fishing time on my own rod!
I've just been given a couple of margin poles (actually what I would call telescopic whips) of 4 and 5 metres. I'm happy about how to set up suitable pole rigs for them which loop straight onto the eyes on the end of the poles, but am a bit unsure of how best to land fish with them. The lake where I usually take the kids is best fished around 3 foot deep near the margins. If I was to hit a decent sized fish of 1lb or more what is the technique for getting it into the net. Obviously with a normal pole you would remove sections at the rear and pull it into the net. Is this the same for a telescopic (i.e. fold it down to get the fish in netting range?)
Thanks in advance for the answers.
Phil
