Thanks for letting me join the forum.
I first started fishing when I was 13 and was mad about coarse fishing until my mid 20s. I mainly fished on the Thames at Kingston, Teddington Lock, and various lakes in London including the Royal Parks. In my early 20s I joined a fishing club and matched fished every weekend travelling around the country.
Life and work got in the way and I haven’t coarse fished for 30 years. I have had the odd moment of sea or fly fishing but that’s it.
I have just had a weeks holiday in a lodge on a commercial fishery and spent some time speaking to the anglers there and watching them catch many carp.
I still have some of my fishing tackle but it’s all geared towards match fishing in the 1980.
I have had a look at what tackle I have left and it includes
Bruce and Walker XL Match 13ft float rod
Kevin Ashurst SV Carbon Match
Daiwa Harrier Ivan Marks MK2 13ft March Rod (New) unused
ABU Diplomat 601 Closed Face Reel
Daiwa Harrier 120 Closed Face Reel
My younger brother had my Mitchell Match 440a and Mitchel 300 reels as well as my feeder rods.
I live within a couple of miles of a commercial fishery and will be looking to fish there in the future. Whilst I used to fish in all seasons and weather I will probably look to mainly fish in good weather now. I am 53 and nearly 7 years post stroke with sight only in one eye so need to be careful.
Thanks
