Hi all
My names Jerry,
Ive fished since I was 5 or 6 years old and I'm now late 40s. Ive gone from pleasure fishing to specimen fishing to match fishing and have run a small succesfull club. Nowdays I can found match fishing and specimen hunting. Ive had English 30s and now a French Forty thanks to our sponsors Carpe D'or.
Over the last few years Ive been updating tackle and not having pots of money to spend Ive had plenty of good and bad experiances with purchases that Ive made. These are the chief reason for joining the forum to share my views on whats worth missing and whats worth buying. I will offend the haters of TFG gear because Ive had some really good stuff from them, like wise I also have some really good Nash stuff too- I make my purchases by judgement on functionallity/ price...but never by label.
If it works it makes sense.

Hi everyone, my names Dave from Kent, and I've been into carp fishing for about two years now, I've been mainly river fishing since I was a kid and never had too much trouble pulling the smaller species in, but trying to grab a decent carp has been a real struggle
I got hooked into carp fishing by a couple of hardcore Carp anglers at work, and every time we go fishing I seem to either blank or land (according to them) a "pasty" while they pull in some fair sized good'ns on a regular basis, they've briefed me on tips and ideas and told me what tackle I need etc but it makes no difference
I'm not too fussed what I catch as I just like being out relaxing around a lake or a nice river, but it's the friendly stick they keep giving me, saying things like "ALL THE GEAR AND NO IDEA" and ALL THE KIT BUT CANT CATCH SH*T lol
So now my aim is to catch something decent and wipe the smug grins off their faces and shut them up for good, lol so ill be looking and learning from all you forum guys
ATB-Dave

Hi
My names Dan, I live in Surrey with my wife and 2Yo daughter, aside form the daughter (and probaly my wife i guess) i love fishing above all else, nothing better than sitting by the side of a lake staring and twitching bobbins..
My carping history is fairly breif so far, having only started 2 years ago. I was v lucky to pick up my pb of 38lbs 6oz common from a local water near here (Hunters Lodge). Recently started fishing a new lake (whitevane pond) and am looking forward to the challange.
Was recommended this site by a friend of mine and am looking forwards to getting to know some people and learning all i can from the massive wealth of knowledge i have seen on here.
If anyone want to talk carping just pm i guess =]
P.s, if anyone can tell me how to add a post to a threat without having to "reply" to a specific post please pm me. i am v new to using forums and stuff.
<3
DS
