Fishing at the weekend!

[Jonathan Northmore BA HONS]

My dad was the one who taught me how to fish when I was younger. His fishing took a back seat and nowadays he rarely fishes at all, if ever!

I am taking him fishing this weekend for his birthday and intend to go to a commercial so tha the doesn't get bored. Not my ideal place but it will be entertaining none-the-less.

Now, do I take him to the carp lake where we can potentially expect more bites and bigger fish, OR do I take him to the other lake after crucians and tench which will be smaller and slightly harder to catch?


I know which i'd prefer!


What say you?

crucians and tench

Take him to the easier side and let him enjoy it. You never know , it might just spark him off again. That would really be something.

and then a nice fish supper .....

If he hasn't been going fishing then a trip to an easy lake is far better for him I reckon, he won't want to sit there biteless for ages I bet.

No, he is quite impatient when it comes to fishing. Carp lake it is then. Last time I took him, he caught a fish around 5lbs and claimed that it was a monster.

Some kind of role reversal me thinks!

Now........to sort out this bloody weather!

What approach would you go for considering it is going to be peeing down all day.

Typical match lake, margin features + island in the middle. Average Depth around 4 and a half foot. Carp predominant species to low doubles. Potentially quite busy.

Then ring Monk and get your Dad one of his slappers.

What if it's windy?

 

[Maxon]

Why dont you tell him your taking him fishing and wait for a good day to take him. he probably dosnt want a birthday treat in the rain and wind, look on bbc five day forcast... friday + Monday look ok, unless you have work. Can't think of any thing else...
