Welcome to the forum. Lots of very knowledgable and highly competent anglers on here. I share Bennygesserit's modesty

Learning, making mistakes, dropping clangers, missing fish and then catching fishing is all fun and part of the learning curve.

Thanks for the welcome guys....

Bought a Maver Float fish starter kit and have been learning the ropes on the canal at Marsworth and have had a few nice Bream - for a noob !
Last satrurday I went up to Alders farm and fished Pines......OMG, that was a blast........landed 4 of the biggest Carp Ive ever caught and got smashed up a couple of times...

But I learnt loads and was absolutely BUZZING at the end of it...

 

[john step]

Up your gear a bit for carp to avoid that??
