So you are hooked then? (No pun intended)

LOL! Don't think I'll be devoting every waking hour to the sport just
yet...but enjoyed it enough to want to go again.

Last time I fished i was in a little row boat off the Devon coast with a
rusty spinner on an orange handline...caught loads of fish then too..;o)

Will admit now that i'll be a 'fair weather' angler though....

Just been fishing for the first time ever, with a 4m whip that cost 6
euro
(approx £4 I think). Simple set up with one maggot.

Caught 25 Rudd in 1 hr....so what's the fuss about...this fishing lark
is
easy! ;o)

LOL....however the OH is a specimen hunter so I _do_ totally understand
the
traumas, stresses & organisation required to fish for the *big* one...
The whip was his idea. I fancied having a go at this fishing lark..but
didn't want to faff with reels etc. I suggested pole fishing, because
it
looked dead simple. He bought me the whip..so I could get half an idea
of
this 'pole' lark...the whip would be cheaper to discard if I decided I
didn't like this sport after all....

Can't imagine every fishing day will be as fruitful...but I enjoyed my
first
time immensely nonetheless... ;o)
