i am a self confessed maggot drowner and still love chasing silvers, only started targetting carp in the last few years and spent quite a bit of time building up the gear. still have my float rods and set ups and occasionally will hit a day ticket with one rod set for carp and the other for silvers or tench/bream on a feeder or float. that way i can still enjoy both but have different rod/tackle bags for each just to make it easier when i go out, if only going for carp i have my 2 rod holdall but if i fancy a go on specimen as well then i take one rod out and stick it in my coarse set up. i see no need to get rid of gear i have spent time and money aquiring as will often go for both to break the monotony and have a break from blanking on a session as you can always guarentee silvers or tench with a coarse set up go for both and have fun as that is the way i approach my fishing and it keeps my skills and interest up in both disciplines as not a predator angler but might fancy that next time i want a change of scene2 points

Thought of the Day pt.2
elmoputney and one other reacted to Carpbell3 for a topic
Certainly have been a busy little bee Just landed a CCJ against an absolute giant in the commercial industry cheeky gits they really don't like it, oh well that's me happy, still no guarantee return of my money they have the time period to put their defence in unfortunately for them they don't have a defence, those barrister fees were well worth it, even advised me on how to take it to court myself save on solicitor fees. Personally I would sack the original law firm they used, they really do think no one will challenge their actions back at court. Also one the look out for a cheap but decent caravan for next year, she finally talked me into getting one.2 points -

I've quite enjoyed the Rudd bashing this year but not at the cost of selling my carp stuff that's still no1. Surely you can just build up some bits as you go?1 point -

Thought of the Day pt.2
elmoputney reacted to ... for a topic
Mate who had his 2 heart attacks has been given the all clear to drive his own car now, but he's been asked not to over do himself, so he's sold all his Carp gear and bought all Preston Match gear, says its less strain on him. So we've been talking about all the old Coarse/Match days we used fish and its brought back some good memory's of some old course places we used to fish. Gonna put this out there.......I've really been looking at FULL Match Setups and even people wanting to swap there Match Setuos for Carp Setups.0 points
