I used to just go floater fishing armed just with a bag , rod , mat and landing net ; only taking a seat and ledger rod if the weather looked as though nothing could be tempted on the surface . However getting older with a manual job sometimes I just want to plonk myself down in a swim , and set up shop . So am I enjoying my fishing more these days 🤔 .

Hello everyone - Been fishing all my days and recently retired.. I’ve also decided to give up the game fishing scene which has become far too expensive with little to no return.. My imagination has now been stirred by YouTubers landing stunning carp in wonderful surroundings and I’m up for some of that.. So, I’ve invested in a couple of old Ron Thompson Warlords coupled with early Shimano Aerlex 8000’s, curtesy of ‘the bay’, plus a motley bunch of other ‘green’ preloved stuff to keep me comfortable and on the right side of the fishery owners.. Im looking forward to investing a lot of time (and more dosh, no doubt) in this new ‘adventure’.. Hope to see you out and about.. Cheers for now..

Nah mate it’s earwax that’s just been compounded by the underwater pressure making it worse . It’s been gradually getting worse over the last couple of years but it’s just that they make it nigh on impossible to get a doctors appointment these days . The Black Death has a lot to answer for . It’s such hard work getting an appointment I’ve just left it & left it . Ive a million things wrong with me . sorry to be a bore .

I’ve been deaf in my right ear ever since
