We're sad to hear of the passing of Angling legend John Wilson. A man who gave us all incredible fishing memories with his famous Go Fishing series.
John you will be hugely missed by everyone in the angling world. Rest in Peace.
@Charltoncarper I'm just happy to catch. Always have been. It proves something works and if you're catching regularly, even if it's small fish, you can practice handling your fish on the bank. Will prepare you well for when a lump eventually does get caught.

There's a famous fisherman who banged on about a new super additive he was testing all last year. Caught loads of fish. Was released to public. Now he's on a new test additive. He's catching loads of fish. Additive or the fisherman?
Been raining quite a lot up here and we need it. The lakes I've been fishing have all dropped massively over the summer. Don't rain too much though, eh!
Found some real bargains over the weekend to stretch my birthday money out - the £65 rods I liked, i got for £29 each with various discounts. Line in the sale for £6.97 - so I can spool my new reels up. Got £20 off rod holdall.
Not a bad mornings fishing. Wanted to try a new spot. When it was flat calm and I could hit the spot, I got a carp right away. Wind was blowing and it was a struggle.
Nearly didn’t bother leaving the house this morning due to the heavy rain. Glad I did as I’ve just returned a pb Common at 21lb 2oz! New rig/bait combo as well. Made up.
Luggage for fishing. Biggest load of bollocks you’ll ever hear when these companies are promoting them. It’s a bag.
Now I just have to stop myself from buying them! 😂
Ended the short session with a small carp but I’m gutted about the one that got away.
Caught way too many bream breaking my PB with one caught at 7lb.
....the rigs work!
A one toner and as I get up I get cramp in my stomach muscles.
Probably the most painful battle with a fish I’ve ever had.
Not as bad as that time when a pole float shot back at me and embedded straight through my finger nail and into my finger!
