Alright Lads.
I've been living in Ireland for the last eight years or so and have kind of lost touch with the scene (carp and otherwise) back in the uk, imagine my suprise when I flick to sky sports and see Rob whatsisnames ugly mug staring back at me!
I'd never envisaged something like that happening within carp angling circles. Don't get me wrong, I had the mags sent over to me for a while but you kind of lose interest when what your reading doesnt really apply to you. Anyway, if i'm honest I was appaled at first, I couldnt understand how carp fishing could possibly be done on a match basis without losing it's appeal, then I thought about it. Funnily enough the more I thought about it the more it did appeal to me, hence the post.
I'm not sure how good a partner I'd make, I've never really fished the circuit waters in the UK (not since I did it badly as a lad anyway) the lakes I fish in Ireland can be hard in their own way but are deffinately very, very different to the lakes I've fished in France, and i'm sure for that matter the UK as well.
You may have noticed that I posted on this forum (and others) looking for info on possible venues availiable to purchase recently. Well, i seem to have come to the end of my quest (i've been looking for quite a while now) and am very close to concluding a deal, watch this space.
Point is, I'll be living in the UK again within the next few months and am keen to let the world now what a good fisherman I've become, only joking, but I'd love to have a crack at one of these events and would appreciate any info on the process. Oh yeah and i'll be needing a partner as well (for the fishing dumbass)so if anyones interested I'd love to hear from you(that sounds even worse dunnit)
P.S. if your wondering why I used so many brackets () I,m just practicing putting them up. Every trophy needs a shelf
