My seasons gone really well, I finally broke into the 6lb chub mark (3 times!), smashed my pike pb which also happened to be the largest fish ive put on the bank, caught my first zander, found loads of really beautiful new waters (google earth is brilliant!), rediscovered the joy of stick float + centrepin, and started using a few killer methods id previously overlooked.
On top of that I introduced one of my good friends to the angling art, ive been trying to show him the more intimate and imo rewarding ways of catching fish, small water stalking and the like rather than chucking him on a carp commercial. So far hes loved every minute, Ive never seen him as pleased as he was after hunting a 4lb chub off the top on freelined crust from a lovely willow pool, might not be the biggest fish but who cares!
Also finding this site has really brought about a fishing renaissance for me and i know next season will be all the better for it! /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif
