Hi all,
I enjoyed course fishing as a teenager at my local ponds were I use to live. I am now 36 and having not fished for many years I am looking to get back into it. I was never into anything special and just use to do general course fishing at the weekends.
My wife is also wanting to give it a go (last time some years back she caught a good sized carp) but was not great at casting out etc but I use to help her cast out etc.
As I don't have any of my original kit I am looking for some tips of what to buy without spending to much that will keep us going for a while and get us started. A few people I have spoken to have suggested we would be better moving to using a Pole than a rod/reel setup but my knowledge is very limited.
Also is it a good time of year to start out or would you suggest waiting until the spring. We don't mind going out in all weathers but soon the days will be very short.
Any advice or tips on what sort of kit I should be looking at would be a great help
Many Thanks
Chris
