I must admit, I get bored sometimes of catching the same fish and do the
same. Perch are still good little fighters for their size aswell.

Mind you, you can't beat Carp for a good fight. I went Piking yesterday.
Only had one run, and was disappointed with the fight it gave. Spoilt by
Carp?

I was a match fisherman until about 10 years ago until the Carp bug hit
me.I
have since done no other fishing apart from sitting behind my buzzers
waiting for a run.Until yesterday....
I decided to get the old match gear out and go down to the tidal River
Frome
at Wareham(Dorset).I fished the free strech called the "Towpath" apart
from
a morning frost the conditions were perfect .I set up a light stick float
with maggot and cast as bait and an very small 18 hook.I managed to get
about 10lb of roach and dace.Some of the roach were up to a pound and I
even had an 12oz dace.I had really forgotten what brilliant fun stick
float
fishing was and how well roach and dace fight in the current.I going agin
soon.
