Last night I was on one of our club lakes in Woking with my brother enjoying a few hours floatfishing in the evening, plenty of fat Roach with a couple of Perch and Rudd thrown in and even though the water was still very cold my brother caught a Crucian and I got taken into a sunken tree by what I think was a Tench before the hook opened out, all in all a nice session
During the evening a chap came up on the other side of the fence as the complex is locked and asked my brother
"alright mate wat you caught"
"Some Roach, my brother says"
"Wat else is in 'ere?"
"Perch, Tench, Bream and Carp"
"As it dahn a firty?"
"I'm not sure"
See ya mate
What is it with numbers especially when it comes to Carp angling?. Yes we all like to catch bigger fish of many different species but sometimes just being by the lake and not knowing what the next bite may bring is enough, or is it ?
Maybe I'm just missing the point but do some Carp anglers miss out on a lot more in the relentless pursuit of numbers for their log?. Don't get me wrong there are some great Carp anglers out there (Terry Hearn once made me a cup of tea when I was fishing for Bream) with the skill to extract some massive fish from rock hard waters, but are 90% of them cloned into thinking that numbers in their book = skill?
