I have fished as long as i can remember...started with 1 rod on local canal for anything for a few years...took up pole fishing (after son was born) leading into matches for about 5/6 years..then my fishing buddy passed away (father in maw) then a mate at work wanted to start up coarse fishing so sold him all my gear then started at basic carp fishing...then progressed from there.
It is all about the outdoors and my MAIN knowledge is all Course Fishing but Carp Fishing is VERY different if fishing for "Biguns"
