Got the bug

[billybaltic 308]

Been fishing for the last two day's and i really have the bug for it, coarse fishing a local lake, mainly carp, with my two lad's, nothing big, average around 5 - 6lb, best was a 12lb common for my youngest, he is 15 and it's his new pb, really two great day's spent with my lad's, you can't beat it, i feel like i have been beat, knackerd.

Good result mate, certainly beats sitting in the house bored

I've never fished for Carp myself mate, though it's hard to beat fishing with the kids in the good weather and showing them the ropes. Seeing them catch more or bigger fish makes it even better. Great crack and no better feeling.

Never been to lathom bull, heard a fair bit about the place but just never been, the night fishing sound's good, we were supposed to go last summer but never did, iv'e been doing a bit of lure fishing on the canal, plenty of perch and jack's, wouldn't mind a decent perch or two, i have never had a double figure pike from the canal just down the road from me, but i have seen plenty of them, so i am having ago, slow walk along and then a slow walk back, about 4 - 6 hour's depending how you feel, getting into this lure fishing now.
