I am a 52 yr old female who has been coarse fishing for about 11 years. Passionate about it. My other half left me 10 months ago and now my fishing has come to a standstill. I used to fish Merrys Pond and North Pond ( especially the handle) Messingham Sands a lot...like every week! I am missing my saturday or sunday fishing badly also I used to go down there just for a few hours in the evening sometimes.

 

Am now single parent and have all that goes with that but I dont drive ! I cant get to these places any more..taxis would be a huge expense to me that I couldnt afford. Live Brumby area. I know its a long shot but I am looking for a kind male who could pick me up now and again if fishing in Scunthorpe ( I like fishing for carp)... if I caught anything over say 18lbs ( my pb carp is 21lb 4 oz) I would need a hand getting it in maybe also. I know its a lot to ask but if you think you can help please let me know...thanks a lot.

Hi Sue, welcome to AN. Not in the area so can't offer any help but I am sure one of the kind gents on here can lend a hand or offer some advice at some point.

Welcome to AN, there are women out there in your situation that fish and take their kids with them. I am one of them but luckily I do have a car. I have my son pestering as I type to take him fishing and it is chucking it down!!!

 

If I lived up your way I would gladly give you a lift. You will find there are quite a few female anglers on this site so I hope you enjoy it, we all do.

Sue - the normal reason for few responses on this forum is few people who know an answer or (almost certainly the case here) who can help.

Absolutely Newt...not a problem. If you don't ask....

 

Do you have any local canals you could visit? I have quite a few different free waters such as the canal/river and various ponds which I can fish, all of which are only a £2 return bus journey away.

 

I just take minimal gear, and often my 3 kids who are 8months old, 2 years old and 4 years old with me.... Its a bit of a handful at times, but a nice cheap day out.

Species Caught 2011: Mirror Carp, Barbel, Ide, Rudd, Roach, Bleak, Perch, Bream,

 

Species Caught 2010: Perch, Pike, Roach, Rudd, Bleak, Bream, Gudgeon, Ruffe, Ide, Tench, Mirror Carp, Common Carp, Barbel, Chub, F1, Crusian Carp, Goldfish
