A man of my own heart.

Im also a Keen Angler, Shooter and Greenlaner.

I live 30 seconds from the beach, so i do Beach, Boat, Carp and Coarse angling. I also Shoot twice a week, with Precharged Air Rifles. I like the Stealthliness of them. :)

Yep, Salmon & Sea Trout season up here!!  :D
Both of us have our season tickets for the salmon river in Stornoway.

Also brown trout & anything that wants to put itself on the end of my hook when I go sea fishing in the winter months.

used to fish for anything when i was younger but been mainly a carp angler for the last few yrs. currently fishing a low stocked res pic of my pb carp is 26.4 known as the big linear and the other is the chestnut mirror at 26.2 2 of the 3 fish i had last yr if you get 2 your doing well lost another 2 due to crap hooks. the current stock is around 45 carp in 90 acres its a challenge of will power lol

My pb pike is 21lb 4oz

pics are a bit poor as i took pictures on my phone of the photos that are on 35mm film

[Mart]

Here is a picture of my 12Yr Old Stepson. This was his first Carp, and he caught it on his first trip out with me. It was 14lb. Hence now he wants to go all the time. Thing is, all the time he catches these, im reluctant to take him. :)

You'll need to buy it all again soon- took my oldest lad (aged 7) out fishing this morning he caught his first carp 7lbs and I only managed two 5lbs fish. Needless to say he thought it was great fun beating Dad....

[extreme90]

[Tiny Tim]

Used to do a bit of coarse fishing - was hopeless at it so took up shooting and spear fishing instead  

Thoroughly enjoyed fly fishing and sea fishing in NZ though, especially eating the catch,  :lol:

[Manicminer]

I used to fish for Brown Trout, Sea Trout and Salmon all the time when I was still living with my parents on the farm.

I haven't been fishing once since 1992


Note to self: Must make time for more leisure.

Used to do a lot sea fishing when I lived in Plymouth...here's me pulling a large Pollack from a wreck near Sark in the Channel Isles


Sadly living in the Midlands we're a bit far from the sea for regular trips. I've still got a little 17' boat which is okay for inshore work. Mostly we use it on the River Avon for trolling (pike/zander/perch) when the water is clear enough.

I've just got in from a 2 night session.  4 carp landed 15 - 22 lb.  Missed 2 in the night and got snapped up once.  First time I fished this lake in Kettering, Northants.  PB carp 28lb 2oz, Pike 21lb 4oz.

I got a seahog hunter .... thats how I got into Landys!  I needed a 4x4 to launch and retrieve so I bought a S3, loved it and now have a Disco so the kids can come and play in the mud too.  It can get proper expensive this hobbies lark!

ive changed it but ive had a bad day. got to get 14 cattle, 18 lambs and 4 pigs ready for a show on thursday and had to do half a years worth of painting done in a day

[Mart]

in my opinion you cant beat a spot of fishing being out enjoying nature in the tranquility of things think thats why a lot of lanes are so good you get to see views that you wouldnt experience from the road.

He he.....reminds me of The Swinge tidal race off Alderney.

[Mart]

yeh you dont have to lie that you're into a pollack to us jock you can admit that you've hooked the plug for the sea we wont laugh...















Much  :lol:

[neil2860]

I don't do the fishing thing myself except down the chippy!

My brother has a salmon farm in France where he has these 6 lakes of about 30 acres each and one of them has been left to "settle" and in it there is some 50lb+ carp.

I have a freind who is fishing mad, he even has a tattoo of a carp on his arm, he runs http://defiantmps.com/ which I belive is popular with fishermen.

[Mart]

thats right mate defiant make custom stainless rod pods built to order

Much  :lol:

True- it wasn't the biggest I've ever boated but we got two large fillets off it though!

[Red Defender]

not only do i also go fishing but i also get paid for it  :lol:  :lol:  

only trouble is i have to take 2/3 behaviourally challenged kids on the average day trip and 6-8 on a week long trip  :(  :(

but the up side is we do have some nice children and i get to choose who goes on what trips - which does lead to some trips that are bordering on jollies !! :lol:  :lol:

[Mart]

at least your getting something out of it red a kid loves it when they catch there first fish wether it be a perch or a carp they still have the same meaning for the first one.
