Hi, my name's Laurence but everyone calls me Lol.
I've come back to fishing after a LONG lay off down to a throw away comment made to a friend "let's have a days fishing" - despite neither of us having any tackle!
Needless to say the bedroom is beginning to look like a branch of Angling Direct and other fine stores and I haven't made it out yet!
I'll be doing coarse stuff on local lakes and possibly a bit on the canal for some Perch. I'm not targeting any particular species, I just want to catch something!
I've bought from the budget range of stuff, a Shimano float rod, a Fladen Xtra Flexx feeder rod and a "must have for £10" NGT multi-wand which I hope to snare a few perch with. Reels are a Drennan Red for float and a Lineaeffe 50 series for feeder work. If anything proves inadequate/breaks I can always spend a few more quid on something better.
I've bought what I believe to be good quality lines, Maxima and DurFlo (?), Kamasan hooks etc, got my rod license and a membership of a local club to fish their waters.
All I need now is a clear day!
If I ask what appears to be a daft question, well that's just how my brain works
Cheers, Lol
