Hi people, new to the forum, not to fishing. Was mad on it when I was younger and have just gathered my bits and bobs together once again to get stuck in.

 

Based in Great Yarmouth, prefer coarse/pike fishing (mainly river) but occasionally go to lakes for a bit of Carping and sometimes off of Gorleston Pier for the Whiting and Bass.

 

Used to fish in the Wroxham/Horning area as I used to live in Spixworth (Norfolk) but its a bit far for the evening 2-3hr sessions I mainly get now.

 

Am also now a member of the NDAA. Would love some tips and new places to give a go closer to GY and on the NDAA stretches of the Thurne and Bure as it has been a while lol!

Welcome to Anglers' Net and welcome back to fishing.

 

A post or two in the coarse section will probably get you loads of good information.

Its been too long lol! Already caught my biggest ever bream on my 3rd session at Martham Staithe, not massive and didn't get weighed but was definately my biggest at about 5lb.

 

Trying to get the girly into it too so will be taking her to Holly Farm Lakes in S.Walsham soon for some match carp. Think she'll love it :-D. Any tips for encouraging her Tenchgirl? Or just let the experience do the work?

 

Hope I can give something back too Newt, lived and breathed Piking for several years when I was younger plus, excuse the ego, I consider myself quite knowledgeable on fish behaviour (especially predatory) from a lifelong passion for fishkeeping. Everything from Killifish to Perch.

Hi Renrag, I am sure she will get in to it once she has a rod in her hand and if she dosen't like it ,tell her to take a book to read, then she can watch you at the same time. She may just change her mind and want a go. Let us know how you get on? Tenchgirl

Not sure a match is the best way to start though. Probably some pure pleasure fishing first to see how she likes it would be good and fishing in a place where bites are pretty well a given.

Didn't mean an actual match, just a lake stocked with match size carp, 2-3lb ish. Was thinking she'd get enough action to get her 'hooked' lol :-D Great thing is, she doesn't mind maggots/deadbaits etc in the fridge/freezer!

 

Will let you all know how it goes ^_^

I don't mind maggots but hate putting them on the hook, rather have luncheon meat....I am sure she will be fine...
