I had some company fishing for dinner! |
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!

Trip #60 - A spot of dinner!
Arriving at
Abbotsbury at 7 in the morning to walk the dog and find it absolutely packed
meant one thing, the fish were in and the fish were mackerel. I didn't have any
rods with me at the time, but after a quick visit to Tackle UK later that day
for shockleader, leads and feathers I was ready for a Mackerel bash. I haven't
fished for mackerel for a long time and was excited at the prospect of catching
fish for the table.

Trip #59 - Jungle Warfare at Dillington
The
recent bank holiday meant I had was able to get out and wet a line and with
some solid bags of silver fish coming out, along with big Chub and Bream I
decided to head up to my local club water of Dillington Pond, targeting the
latter. After reading Jamie Rich's blog I knew the bigger fish were on the feed
and I just hoped they wouldn't be to pre-occupied spawning so that I could
catch a few. I had planned on getting up to the lake early, to avoid missing
out on my desired peg, but the local scrumpy I had drunk the night before
prevented me from getting out much before 10. I had a quick walk around and
found that the peg I wanted was taken by a chap called Scott. He was absolutely
bagging up on silver fish, fishing mid-water on caster. I asked his advice and
decided to fish peg 16, a great but challenging looking peg, one of only a few
with a feature in the shape of a big willow tree.
