How was it for you?
I was just sitting here thinking what a cr*p season it's been for me, the summer floods and all, until I took a look at my pics.
It's been fantastic!
I've caught some great fish and met some absolutely lovely people through FM. I'vetravelled all over the country on FM Fish-ins and fished some awesome venues with many more to come, I hope.
The one thing that stands out the most for me is the fact that my wife Wendi hasstartedfishing with me. She absolutely loves it and has a passion for pike, but she has done rather well with the other species too! She is till learning, but aren't we all?
I've also learnt that pb's and catching fish isn't the "be all and end all"of fishing, although I've still got a date with a 2lb roach! Being on the bank and taking in the surroundings and nature are as much of fishing as is fishing.
The season is coming to an end now, but the anticipation of getting on the bank again and fishing into dark on a lovely summers night fills me with excitement. I've got plans for the new season, river carp will be my first target, after that.....who knows?

I've still got a few days left for my roach though /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif
