Reluctantly I've come to the realisation that it won't be but a few years before I am unable to follow a branch of the sport that has given me immense enjoyment over many years. This has been brought about by physical injury sustained many years ago. Of late the damage to the spine has made mobile lure fishing more and more of a trauma, to the point where I have had to reduce outings. So to re-evaluate my options, as far as pike are concerned I have achieved every ambition I ever had, and along the way in all humility can claim to have gained some recognition. And since I could never give up fishing, to maintain what drive I have left I have decided to allocate time to other species namely, chub and barbel, these being the only two species that I have not had to specimen size over the last fifty odd years. And at least manage to get a good sit down whilst doing so. Something I haven't done for the last twenty five years.
So let me ask, is there anyone else out there had by force of circumstance to change their approach or even species?
Come on guys, give me hope, don't let this be a cry in the wilderness.
