bigd26 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 you will be when you start catching, don't worry about the anglers on this website or judge yourself by what they catch, all abilities and experiences are here to help and encourage, some old hands like me think they have superior knowledge and then along comes some talented kid who obviously knows more and we walk away with our tails between our legs. The pool of knowledge is the secret, when in doubt ask the oracle, whether he be twenty or ninety, all advice is good, you must decide which bits you listen too.I listen and take advice from everyone i rather the more experience guys but all advice is essential whether old or young i have the potential to learn and i do want to learn when i was in the caribbean i use to fish more sport fishing and spare fishing . But i love the carp fishing very relaxing and one thing my wife told me i wont catch a big fish lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd26 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 You will catch a big fish son, I could take you fishing and set up your rods on a syndicate water that I have prepared and you would catch a twenty plus fish within a few sessions, but that's what its all about that learning curve, its not the Caribbean, where I live is not Essex or devon or Scotland, you adapt the methods to the waters that you are fishing, go learn your craft, talk to the guys on here, all advice is free and given with the best intentions, and most of all enjoy, coming from warmer climes, I have to say fishing is much easier and more pleasant during warmer weather, my rods will not be used through the winter, roll on March.I know i will catch a big one i am not in any rush to do so am just taking my time and learn every bit that i can along the way but i think am lacking confidence . Where is your syndicate locate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillfactor Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Ah ,you not driving makes it more difficult mate I'm probably about an hour away from you . So fishing around your way would be better any lakes near you ? Could do with a run or two been banging my head on a low stock lake the few times I've actually managed to go fishing this year . But more than happy to swing by pick you up and have a day somewhere near you . Can't promise when as I'm a busy man but at some point .

bigd26 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 better idea , chilly is an expert and used to fishless hours, beginners need to catch on easy waters, although Chilly will hate the place no doubt as I would.Oh he is an expert brilliant am all smiles right now to be honest .Question, is gear essential i have starter kit will this be a problem ?

chillfactor Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Cm , I hope that's tounge and cheak as I 'm certainly no expert fella , but I 'm confident in what I do . Bigd26 will try and sort something in the week or two , will have a look at possible venues and try and go mid week so it's quiet for us and more chance to move onto fish etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
