Here's the pic of the Koi I banked last October:





And a shot of where I live when I am on a session:

Lovely koi John, what part of the country do you fish mate

[Wigan]

Im not a fisherman myself but I can imagine that its the perfect excuse to relax and light up a stogie. Very relaxing I'll bet. Had a few goes on the Dee many years ago but never caught a thing.

That sounds great jabba. My only experience of scuba diving was on Menorca. We were at Cala'n Forcat. A beautiful island.
Have you had much success with your sea fishing? Sea Bass is my favourite eating fish. I love it.

[jabba the hutt]

Been sea fishing for over 50 years on and off, mostly Lures for Bass in summer now, winter is too cold, will be Barracuda and Mullett bashing in Cala n Bosch marina this summer for 3 weeks.
Also cast in competitions

I started in the late 80's fishing on the float and quiver tip rods Simon. I dabbled in all sorts of species but
eventually got pulled towards the specimen hunting. It is mostly carp now with the occasional trip to my local
river for a bash at the chub and barbel.
That pike looks like a fairly long fish too. That is a nice looking carp also.
Absolutely loving the boat.



I agree. A lot of tackle now is designed to catch the angler and not the fish. I still class myself a an all rounder
but have done mainly carp fishing for quite a few years now. A 40lb mirror in the 80's was some achievement.

It was I'll dig a picture out

I don't feel so bad now Johnny, I am assuming you weren't a 99% time carp fisherman way back then? Lovely pair of specimens. Nice carp too Oskihen!
1/ 19lb 03 From Holland, on a lure from my old Zodiac.
2/ My new boat A Sun Dolphin imported from the States
3/ My PB Carp 24lbs from Belgium
4/ Drawing boat
5/ Just leaving the water.

Fishing can get as complicated as you wish, it only seems expensive now because of all the marketing etc and firms like korda, in the end they're fish and its not rocket science , I've been fishing since I was 8 , my brother was more fanatical than me in our teens early twenties (beer and the furry cup for me ) and he caught his first 40lb mirror in the mid eighties when so called modern carp fishing was in its infancy regards hair rigs and bolies , boilies all home made on my mum's aga. I find the shame of modern fishing now is people watch it on tv but sadly don't learn to catch all types of fish and learn some fishing etiquette along the way . Amount of times I've sat on my own on a lake and some teat sets up near you crashing leads all over your swim without even coming over to ask where your fishing etc.....
