I am returning to fishing after a10 year absence, and i want to do it in style. I have set myself the challenge of beating all my personal bests and catching all the species of fish i never previously caught, in one year. I am staring the challenge on my birthday, July 21st, i know its a good 6/7 weeks away but it will give me time to research local waters to help me get started.
Heres my previous pb's, dont laugh, i know they arent spectacular but i spent most of my fishing life pleasure fishing the canal in Nottingham.
Barbel not caught
Bream 2.5lb
Carp 6lb
Catfish not caught
Chub 2.5lb
Crucian carpnot caught
Eel not caught
Perch1lb
Pike 4lb
Roach 2lb
Rudd not caught
Tench 4lb
I am hoping that you guys can help me, and point me in the right direction to the best waters in and around Stockport, that will give me the best chance to beat my personal best. I will keep reporting my exploits back to this thread and hopefully, in a years time, my records will have been smashed.
I am going to start with the summer species, Crucians, Rudd and Tench. Can anyone give me any info on the best place to start for these species? Must be within 20 miles of Stockport.
