I havent fished seriously for a couple years, im hoping that is starting to change. My 5 year old is showing an interest.

That is great. I am jealous. My son has absolutely no interest in fishing. Tried once and he hated it.
I hope you have lots of fun together.

Nice carp there Johhny, nice end of season catch. Marc, that's a great time to get back into fishing. The excitement of kids catching their first few fish, is enough to re-ignite previous interest. try taking a short video clip of them reeling in & putting them back, great for the family archive. I am taking a close season now but preparing for my week on the Isle of Bute from 30th May. Hoping to spend a few days of the week up on Loch Awe, never been there before & have heard many interesting stories about large hard fighting pike & hoping it comes off. Will be sure to post any decent captures.

Looking forward to this years blog of your trip Simon. Good luck.

Managed a couple of little ones on my last session. 12lb 7oz Common and 12lb 4oz Mirror.

Wow, monster catches buddy!
thats worth firing one up over

I've got a fishing weekend to look forward to end of this month. Fishing for cod mainly, will take my bass lure rod too, as you never know...
blanked on my last two outings, so hopefully due a catch

Good luck Si. Hang in there and your efforts will be rewarded.

Great catching there Johnny. Nice to see your assistance was duly rewarded. No fishing for me until 23rd Nov, when I'll chasing the pike again.

Thanks Simon, and good hunting for your next outing.

A few shots from my latest trip to France. Fishing nights only, ended with thirteen fish to 41lb 4oz.
This was a work party to build new fishing platforms on my friends lake.

Luckily enough I live in the Kent countryside and my sons live just the way I did and as Simon just described

Indeed sad but true today. I used to go at 04:00 bike to the pond on my own & fish all day no worries, wouldn't recommend that today. of course our gear wasn't worth much & I carried a big knife!

[Simon Bolivar]

Sounds like a win, win situation then!

Very true johnny what your saying tackle theft and the safety of our kids.

[Johnny Thunder]

Only concern with my son was if I didn't have the time to take him he wanted to go on his own
since the river is 5 minutes walk you never know who's about these days, and being on his own with all the gear in my opinion not safe.

Tackle theft during the night while asleep is a problem for carp anglers now. I use a PIR alarm to guard my rods, reels etc.
I think you are wise Tony. A young kid fishing alone is vulnerable to tackle theft.

Man, some nice photos here. Can't wait to go home and enjoy some fishing myself

Please take photos and share them on here. And good hunting.
