[First trip with Circle hooks and a BP :-)]

I have been using semi circle hooks for the last five years for 99percent of my fishing and i think they are awsome

they have greatly improved my hookup rate aswell as all fish returned alive and hooked in the lip or scissors the only fish i have deep hooked and not all the time are flat fish but they are greedy wee mites and there bites when float fishing are prolonged

 

dont think i would change the hooks i use they are great

[best thing about fishing]

when i hunt out a mark that produces well ive only done that twice in a lot of years

 

and then its gotta be waiting for the float to go under that feelling is emense

[Better than a keepnet?]

when you start fishing if not taught by another angler i think alot of people kill there catch me for example but when in years to come you read books ,magazines and watch the angling gurus on dvds the likes of henry gilbey

you learn more and have a greater respect for what you catch

 

now a days i get as much pleasure watching the fish i catch swim away than i do as playing and landing it hoping in a way i catch it again next year and it puts another notch on the bar of my scale

[This years "big" trip?]

hi there the perch, pike, roach and sea trout fishing in denmark is really fantastic

its a great part of scandinavia to go fishing in and 99percent of people talk english

 

to be honest its one of the best counrties i have ever had the privelege to stay in

theres all type of fishing over here,allthough i havent stayed here that long

so have only really tryed fishing for the jiant winter perch and roach

and the rest im sure will fall into place in the years to come

 

keep youse informed of progress

[good river baits]

i find that maggots and worms work best

always use a plummet. and look for the hidy holes ,under cut banks ,over hanging trees and bushes ,and if you dont find anyfish in these locations try getting your set up as close to the reeds as you can

 

hope this helps
