My first blog

Hi, welcome to my blog, this will be following my fishing trips, I have been pleasure fishing since I was 10 years of age, I started in the local park pond catching stickle back, and trying to catch the hugh mirror carp that lived there (looking back on those days they where probably no bigger than 1 1/2 lb) then I targeted all species, spending from friday night until sunday evening fishing Doggets Lake in Rochford, Essex. I was dropped off friday evening then I was marooned at the lake until pickup Sunday (I wish it could still be like that lol). then all stopped at 19 years old as hobbies changed to cars and the fairer sex. and at present and six kids later I have returned to fishing. I have returned using the pole (never held held one before) my mate James as got me hooked on match fishing, my local lake (Brickhouse Farm, Canvey Island) has a small stock of silvers and a head of carp up to 20lb and also a good head of Tench to 6lb , and some Koi and brown goldfish and the odd pumpkin seed ( go figure ). I started pleasure fishing on the pole at then end of last year 09 , so i missed the summer season I have done quite well, I have had carp to seven pounds on the pole and from 5lb to 1olb on crust a few weeks ago. I watched the Tuesday night matches last year and have promised my self that I will fish them all when they start at the end of May. to prepare myself for these matchs I thought it would be good to try a smaller match between friends , so my mate James has entered us for the MAVER PAIRS at Monk Lakes in Staplehurst Kent, OMG was my response, but its May 1st 2010, so 1 week to go, I am looking forward to fishing a great water with winning weights over 130lb, I am not disillusioned, I don't stand a chance in winning but I could possibly win my section, if the draw is in my favour(fingers crossed). I will be taking pictures of my peg and doing a follow up blog.
So stay tuned

Any advice please contact me.
