In my life Ive done it all.....well almost.
From the salt Ive caught Marlin (some singlehanded from my own boat) and Sharks of several species, Tunas of all sizes, jigged huge Grouper (to record weights) superb Bass and delicious Bream, snagged Octopus and jigged for Squid and Cuttlefish.
In the fresh Ive caught Black Bass, Salmon (by the dozen a day) White/Sea Trout on fly and lure, Brownies from England finest rivers, big Pike and superb Roach, and enough splendid Chub to please anyman.
But nothing, but nothing, beats being alone on a quite river trotting for Roach........dunno why, but for me (now) it beats all other forms of fishing........hands down!!
Perhaps the attraction of coarse fishing its its sheer variety of fish and methods?
