Posted September 29, 2006 i was going to title the thread "SEX with farmyard animals" and the first thing i would have said was "good now i have your attention let talk about fishing" i am going fishing tomorrow. probably in the rain i havent been fishing in years. i used to go all the time with friends from school. we kinda lost touch but i saw them the other night and they invited me to go fishing at the pond we used to go to. i dusted off all my old fishing gear up at 6 tomorrow morning leaving at 6:30 to be there at 7. get set up and hopefully be fishing at 7:30. some of you will be asleep now but it is the most popular sport in the world. does anyone else fish? what are your thoughts on fishing? please lets discuss. i do have a feeling this will be a very short thread that gets not many replies but hey ho.

Posted September 29, 2006 I really like fishing. I got myself a liceince for this year, but havn't used it enough. Have had some really good times fishing with friends, night fishing can be very fun. I got myself a feeder rod not to long ago, which I havn't used much yet, other than that I use a carp rod. I remember once going to a carp lake, me and a friend spend 2 days from 6:00am to 7pm without leaving the lake. It was worth it though, checkout this beuty my friend got: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2006 that is a beasty. my biggest is a 10lb common carp, would have been nicer if it had been a mirror even better if it was a ghosty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2006 my best fishing moment was catching a 15 pound catfish with Corn Pops cereal. Celebrate me but yeah i think everyone should go fishing at least once in their life. Good times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2006 i was fishing for perch once with maggots and i saw this pike swim up so i thought hhhhmmmm i wonder. so i place my float near him and he went for it. i hooked him on for about 6 second before he bit through my nylon line with his big ass teeth. i was a legend in my circle of friend for an un precidented amount of time ( about an hour ) my fondest fishing memory.

Posted September 29, 2006 it is the most popular sport in the world. Personally I do not consider fishing to be a sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2006 that is a beasty. my biggest is a 10lb common carp, would have been nicer if it had been a mirror even better if it was a ghosty. Sadly the biggest I myself have caught was a 4lb or so bream. Though I did cath my dog once; I was fishing off a day boat in the Norfolk broads with my friend (shown above), and we hadn't got anything so were going to move on. When I reeled in my hook, I placed it beside my tacle box, and my westie eat the octopous flavour bollie, with 3 pronged barbed hook and tracer line attached. This meant an expensive trip to the vets, and a operation for the dog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2006 i agree but you cant fight the figures my friend. officially it is so we have to live with it. there are many so called sports that i do not consider sports but they are so that is the way of the world. EDIT: Poor dog. i caught a moor hen once but that was the bloody stupid bird eating the bread i had on the hook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 29, 2006 I used to do alot of fishing up until I left for uni. Fished mainly matches, adult ones for money and the junior ones for all the extremely cool gear they had going as prizes (shimarno reels, boxes, quiver tip rods etc). Anway, biggest fish 10lb 2oz ghosty biggest matchweight 52lb (all bream 2-3lb each) most proud of a 3lb 6oz PERCH that i caught. with just a landing net. it came up to eat the roach i was reeling in, so i got it too. biggest perch i've ever seen.
