The bit you should read.
This fishing blog details my angling adventures around the UK (although depending where I am in the country I also sea fish from both Boat and Shore, Carp, Pike and Fly fish). I will be giving a summary of 3 values considered by most anglers as well as the additional Disabled Access rating. Since being diagnosed with CIDP and regaining my motor function Disabled angling and Disabled access is now something I always consider when visiting venues. They will all be rated on a scale of 1* to 5*;
1. Fishability *****
2. Accessability *****
3. Value for Money *****
4. Disabled Access *****
I think these 4 points are the key issues which are readily identifiable with all anglers. Feel free to take a look and add your own comments along the way!

Tackle Store Review – West Bay Angling Centre
My recent relocation to South West England has meant I’ve
had to discover new fishing haunts and stores to buy from. Unfortunately, I
think I may have been spoilt for choice at my last 2 addresses. Both West Yorkshire
and South Wales are littered with tackle stores and after a short drive you
will generally find what you are looking for. So when I was recently visiting
West Bay, near Bridport, and I saw the huge Angling Centre sign I wasn’t going
to pass up this opportunity to see what was on offer…

Trip #48 – School Pond – Revisited
My last visit to this venue was a disjointed one. Guy and I
fished Woodstock initially with very little success, and then we moved over to
the School Pond where we proceeded to catch a number of F1 carp in the space of
a few hours. I wanted to return to the venue and complete a session on the one
lake. Not being a member of Newport Angling Association meant I didn’t have a
key for the secondary car park, so was in for a hefty walk to get to the School
pond, which is behind Woodstock lake. This walk was made longer by the fact
that there were at least 10 anglers all fishing in a row along the bank I had
intended to fish! No matter, I trudged on and arrived at my newly chosen peg on
the far bank, and would be the only angler on this bank for the day!
Once the bank to my left hand cleared up I could cast to the lilies. |
