introducing myself

[shadowplay]

Hi,

Im fairly new here, some lively topics going on. Im like a lot i guess fished a lot in my younger days, sold tackle, got back into it, rebought tackle ( at great expense lol ) go as often as family, house/car repairs allow. I like to fish for all species just enjoy the whole day out. Having a couple of days out this october with a guide to learn more about pike fishing, want to give it a go and want to do it right, have caught pike and handled them ok but still not too sure so decided to learn the basics better. I can read a book but find someone showing to be a better way, learn more that way.

Look forward to contributing to the forum and picking up some good tips

 

All the best

If you mean the shadowplay reference, that is a Rory Gallagher song that he used to use as an encore.

 

thanks for the welcome
