hello to all just a few lines to say hello and tell a bit about me well been fishing over 40 years ( feel bloody old now) started off with splicane ans a starback reel then family moved to the coast so started sea fishing as well got into carp fishing lost interest in that fishing is ment to be fun not just a quest for bigger fish i mean fish with names get real.
now i wander along the river bank or lake side with one cane rod out of the few i have along with a old reel great stuff fishing is fun again.
i do like to restore old rod to there former glory hours of work but great fun to use i dont collect old tackle to look at it is ment to be used .
i do like to make some bits of tackle to use you know cane rod rests, cane bank sticks, cane landing net handles my latest job is a cane landing net for carp ,barbel ,tench you get the idea
my other half says i am old fashioned thats ok with me .
i do like to read a bit some of my favorite authors are H T Sheringham,BB or Denys Watkins Pitchford, Richard Walker and Chris Yates to name a very few out of the modern authors Kevin ________s,Tim Paisley,Terry Hearn or Julian Cundiff
fishing is fun if you want it to be or bloody hard work its up to you
kindest regards
Terry
