hi all,
first post so hello and look forward to using the site and having questions answered and helping answer if i can.
i fish for most species in the uk - well used to before i became a proud dad earlier this year...
i tried salmon spinning for the first time on the whitby esk and hooked and lost an estimated 14lber, gutted, so will have to try harder next year as ive a score to settle now. beautiful river the esk and my cousin whos guest i was for the day, is a lucky bloke fishing the fisheries association water down from glaisdale.
i last went coarse fishing with a work mate two weeks ago to dromonby farm near great broughton. i showed him a few things as hes an amateur, including scaling things down a bit and he got a few nice roach and small carp. before he broke his pole that is, oops... fishing can be a steep and expensive learning curve im afraid.
i caught a good 75lb total on both the method, clipped up to an island using groundbait and micros with fake corn on the hook, then switching to a 6m pole line id fed all morning they were que'ed up and i was surprised how good it fished maybe just 2 1/2 ft deep at this time of year. the snow today will have sealed it now though...
look forward to exchanging stories and ideas with you all.
tight lines
