myself i like carpfishing and as i've said if it hadn't of been for a very nice chap on this site who gave me the ticket i wouldn't of gone. But iwill not be going again unless i want to get some bait on mass which was the best bargins,but i will save my pennies and go to the outdoor show next year that not only is alegidley biggerbut has a fishing section to.but for the first show of that kind i had been to i came away with mixed emotions part of me said well that was crappy but the other part was gutted that i didn't have the money to enjoy it fully so i was abit likethe kid in a sweet shop . It was nice to meet some of my Hero,s like Des Taylor ,Wilson,Mick brown and Matt Hayes ,so this year i think unfortuatly it's got to be less fishing because i do spend a hell of a lot on my main love and put the money to driving lessons so i can go to the batter shows and fish farther afield as a 40 year old bloke it,s shocking to realy on others to get me to the places i want to fish .Unfortunatlly i've just had a work related injury so now money is real short,question is now do i clame or do i just suffer in silence,but thats getting off the track the was a fishing and outdoor show the same weekend at Kebworth park that didn't get anywhere the publicity and from what i herd was miles better consetrating on all the art,s of fishing so at least in some areas the art of the sport still flurishes/forum/smilies/nerd_smiley.gif
