New Member Looking for Fishing Buddy!

[steve_b]

Hi All,

I am looking for a fishing buddy around the Tamworth Area. I have just moved back here after 18 months living in Grimsby!!! I watched a film called "The Bucket List" and decided to do my own list.

(No I am not dying but my dad is from cancer!!!) I have done the Scuba Diving bit of the list and now moving onto the fishing part. I am thinking along the lines of the Mick Brown and Matt Hayes partnership on telly!!!

 

I am semi retired at 51, bored out of my tiny mind, (a full time foster carer) and I have been coarse fishing on and off for the past 30 years. I am an NFA level 1 coach. (mainly to teach the foster kids the basics).

I am looking for someone to go fishing with who is a good all rounder (or willing to improve their skills by trial and error) into ALL fishing including Fly. (not too keen on sea fishing but will have a go). I have spent a lot of money on "guided" fishing trips but fancy doing my own thing.

The person must have a good sense of humour, willing to pursue all species on a whim, can teach me to fly fish ( I can cast but only just) and tie flys OR fancies a laugh learning, and have plenty of time on their hands.

I would prefer to find someone who is not full of bulls**t, and is willing to share all expenses but we won't spend if we can help it!.

I can supply transport and will travel anywhere to achieve my targets, some of them are:

Catch a large Zander

Catch a large Pike

Catch a grayling on the Fly AND Trotting.

Go river Fly Fishing for wild brownies and reservoir fishing.

Catch a double figure Barbel (on the Severn?)

Email me and I will send you my mobile number or you can send yours.

Hi Steve and welcome to AnglersNet.

 

I'd offer but I'm too far away (4K miles or so) and way to full of the stinky stuff (just ask any of the long time members).

Hi Newt,

Yep sorry but my funds won't stretch to flying to the USA for my fishing. A little bit of BS is OK for a laugh but I have been with a few idiots who talk a good fishing trip but don't know one end of a rod from the other.

Does this forum cover the UK as well??

 

Regards,

Steve.

Steve - I am the odd duck here. This is a UK based forum with a scattering of US, Aus, and otherwise located members.

 

You might have better luck posting in one of the busier sections of the forum though.
