Just thought I'd see if anyone here likes their coarse fishing?
As the warmer months are approaching more and more will be dusting off their gear, checking the weather and getting out there on the bank. I started this year's fishing off Sunday just gone. With my local day ticket water fishing pretty well through the winter I thought it would be good to get back out there while kids are at school and its quiet, enjoy the peace and been outdoors.
Sunday wasn't a good day with just a few missed bites, Tuesday I went again and had about half a dozen. Then Thursday I went and had 6 tench to around 4lb and 12 f1' s around 2lb. Thing is I was using a pretty heavy rod with a heavy tip so not easy to see my bites.
So I'm going again on Monday and I'm going to be using a swingtip, yes something you don't see much of these days. Some may not have even ever heard of or used one? It's a very light tip so fished with decent rig fairly light even the slightest of bites isn't going to get away.
Don't forget licence renewal time is coming up and anyone caught without one can be fined its best not to forget.
