Do you have a fishing challenge

Wendy Perry 2 · Jan 10, 2007

I decided a couple of week ago i'd like to go for the Korum Specimen challenge You have toget certain weights of fish to win a badge. I know it may not be of any interest to some people to recieve a badge for catching a certain fish , but to me it's like little goals to go for. This weekend i have hopefully got 2 of the badges i have 6 more to go for.

So..do you set yourself little challenges when your fishing?

Catch something at the moment.

pcpaulh · Jan 10, 2007

Catch another barbel from the Medway, this season.

Wendy Perry 2 · Jan 10, 2007

Lol Chris.... but do you have certain fish and weights to go for in your mind?

Claudia Crowther · Jan 10, 2007

I'm on a species hunt this year, I'm trying to get as many different course and sea fish species as possible this year. Size and weight don't matter.

Oh and

... a double figure pike, I would also love to catch a Zed. And maybe asking a bit much now but a 5lb chub aswell wouldn't go a miss

i hope you do what you want to christian because it is such a wonderful feeling to fulfil a certain goal.After all having goals keeps us going!!

To be honest Wendy, every time I am on the river it is a challenge of some sort.

After more than 40 years of fishing all sorts of styles, methods, competitions and specimen chasing, I am still learning something on every trip.

I wish you luck in your quest, but understandably not on the 20th ;-)

njb51 · Jan 10, 2007

Wendy Perry 2 · Jan 10, 2007

Wendy

I'm getting more and more nervous....fishing with all those experienced anglers....I'm going to make a right fool of myself *blush arrrg*

Wendy Perry 2 · Jan 10, 2007

Claudia don't be silly hun you did great Sat!!

I know were saying it's a match but it's all a bit of banter it's a get together more than anything so don't worry yourself over it :0)

Cheers spiderman!!

A red letter day fishing for Tench. May be able to fish all the year round but still great if it was on the 16th of June.

Peter Jacobs · Jan 11, 2007

Jonny, matches, Moi?
Nah, just the odd annual fur 'n feather in my local club ;-)
Would I lie to you lot?

Claudia, No e-mail to date, which address did you send it to?
You don't need to worry about the match though, after all us Aces are just a bunch of aging anglers out for a day on the bank.

Wendy,
I'm sure that the match on the 20th will be fished in the best 'spirit' of competitive angling ;-)

"Nah, just the odd annual fur 'n feather in my local club ;-)"

Cheer's Peter, a wet, windy, miserable day, but you've brought a smile with that one

I have a few of the mission accomplished badges from "improve your coarse fishing" magazine....i actually had my pic in there a few years ago when i got my roach badge.
I caught them using a 4 metre whip,with elderberries as hookbait and flicking in some grains of hemp as loose feed every so often.
I intend to get off my backside and complete the whole set this season (fingers crossed).
I think the badges and missions as a whole are an excellent idea for encouraging new folk to angling,especially the young.
One question wendy...when you sent off your form etc... to "tcf",did you send them a sae??? They dont mention having to send one off to them.
Other than the above challenges,this year i would like to catch my very first dead baited pike,very first catfish and my very first river barbel.

pcpaulh · Jan 11, 2007

Nick, I reckon we'll get a catfish at Beaver in the summer

Wendy Perry 2 · Jan 11, 2007

Nick i emailed the pics in to Gareth it does say in TCF that you can do besides thats the only pictures i've got of them on my PC...

I hope i get one of them..Angling Times rang me today to say they are putting one of my pics in for the wychwood predator competition

))))And it will go in AT a week on Tues.
