Hello there!

I'll soon be posting my first (or second if you count this one) post but thought i'd say hello here first!

Very amateur angler here! Used to fish a bit when I was a lad but now i've dusted off the old 4m whip, only from now on, instead of being a lad, i'm taking the lad! (Yes, it does make me feel old!)

Always nice to be a role model so if you've got any tips you can pass on to me, i'll be more than happy to pass them on to the lad (as if I knew how to fish all along!) :eek:

Cheers, Bruce!

Welcome

top tip for kids - take them to a well stocked commercial - nothing puts kids of easier than sitting all day with no action - later on he can go on rivers but get him into fishing first

simple maggot will catch plenty

Welcome to FM

First time I took him was to a day ticket pond in Wales, he had an old rod, I had my old whip! Inbetween untangling him I was catching pretty frequent but he soon got disheartened cos he'd caught nothing! I sat him in my seat with my whip and he was pulling them out for fun! The smile soon retuned! He had a new whip before we even got back to England! :)
