Vagabond, I will like to congratlate you on restoring young Will faith into fishing again.

 

Nice to see the smile on the Will face on that cracking 2lb roach.

Growing old is inevitable but growing up is optional

Great post Vagabond, faith in humanity now restored

 

Is there anything he's still missing? Post up a list if you can, I'm sure we can sort something out on here for him.

As you can see from the pic of his gear, he now has most of the carp fishers basics. He uses the Dynamite Stick pva system, so any consumables in that system would be useful.

 

Aside from that cash or book tokens would be welcome - I'm sure he would like a book or two on carp.

 

As for other gear, he may well develop into an all-rounder (expressed interest in grayling fishing for example) so I am sure he will find a use for almost anything.

 

Get the gear/cash/tokens into Gerry pdq - he is making a delivery next week. See other thread for details of Gerry's address.

 

I will follow this up in a few weeks - I don't want this to be just a nine days wonder. Would like to see Will fishing for grayling at an appropriate fish-in.

 

...and thanks for all the kind comments fellas, It was nothing much really, just an excuse to go fishing myself :o:o
