Well, that went quickly! This week it will be a year since I took up fishing. After a slow start, the momentum picked up in the second half of the year and now, although by no means an expert, I think I can take my stabilisers off and stop calling myself an absolute beginner.
I can now fish confidently and have even participated in a couple of matches. my best weight being last time when I caught 27lb. Okay not a huge amount but much more than I had expected.
I have been making my own boilies and groundbait. I 'designed' a spoof groundbait mix that I called Two Dog groundbait as a bit of a joke. Used as a method feeder mix it seems to have out-performed anything else I have used and my blog post that gives the recipe has had more hits than any other post by miles! Looks like the joke is on me.
Here I am, a few months off the big six-o, and I have found a new pastime that is consuming all my spare time. I though I was past the point where I could find this sort of enthusiasm for something new. I'm not .
Thanks for the all help that members of this forum have given me over the past year, here's to the next one!
