Hi all,
Been visiting this website since I got back into fishing 4 months ago after a 10 year absence.
Finally decided to learn to drive and passed my test in May after riding bikes for 20 plus years, got a car ( it might only be a fiat panda but will fit all my gear and my 5 year old son at a push, not the wife sadly ) when an idea came into my head " I could start fishing again". Spent at least 4 weeks looking at reviews and opinions on tackle etc before drawing up a list of what I needed, checking online and local tackle shops for the best prices and booking a couple of days of work to allow for shopping trips and courier deliveries. What I estimated the cost to be and the actual cost varied quite a lot ( but don't tell the wife ) but you can't skimp on comfort. When it came to terminal tackle I was a bit lost, chods, zigs, spods, pop ups etc were all new phrases to me so when I went to my local shop I spoke to an assistant who took me around and explained what all the bits and pieces were for, I felt like a kid again but in a good way. It was exciting being back in a tackle shop and decided to leave the chods and zigs until my confidence and skill increased and have been using a simple running rig and pre tied hook lengths with success. I haven't set myself any goals or targets as "I've gotta get a 20 or 30 pounder " as I'm quite happy enjoying the peace and quiet and getting a couple of low doubles per session

only been going after carp for 2 months now but mainly after small medium sized fish upto mid 20's
I know it's a different world now, but fishing for two months and after small to medium mid 20's..........
Don't get misled by the comics/Facebook/whatever, 20's are still big fish. Catch a 40 now, and where do you go from that? It took me at least 6 months to catch a 30

Hello All!
Stoke-on-Trent carper here! Been fishing on the carp scene for about 6 years now but I took a 2 year break until now whilst I focused on building my business empire! Itching to get stuck right back in and put the long hours and homework in whilst I prepare to fish in the Prince Albert in January!
