Hi all 

I'm riks and I'm 40 years old and have been fishing on and off since I was a teen. I love my carp and course fishing , love feeder fishing ! I joined up a couple weeks ago as I was looking for information regarding my old school fox DXR alarms and wether fox mk2 illuminated swingers would work with them. Well the help I got was awesome. I took a chance on purchasing the swingers without knowing if they would work and members of the site advised that they should/would and safe to say saved me from an expensive dose of anxiety 😂 . I'm originally from walton on Thames so I've always been a river thames fisherman but now I live in greater Manchester I am mainly stuck to lakes . And also looking for fishing buddies as I don't really know anyone up here I'm sad to say. Unfortunately I can only get out every other weekend so not as often as I would like with family and work etc. just want to say thanks to those who helped me with my post and tight lines to you all 🎣

Welcome.

Walton on Thames. I know it well. I'm based over near Leatherhead. Which waters did you fish/clubs were you a member of? Were you a Thames exclusive fisherman?

We're usually a friendly bunch and don't usually bite..... usually. 😜

I know Leatherhead quite well , dorking , box hill etc. I was a member of Guildford angling society for a number of years and mainly fished brittens pond off salt box road guildford . Done a couple stints at farlows and thorney weir & the Mets but my favorite was dessbourogh island on the thames between walton and weybridge . 👌 Why did I move to Manchester 😂
