Thanks, Thanks a lot. Haven't been fishing in years. Now you got me digging out the gear. Nice catch by the way, that's what makes a guy keep coming back for more. Good Luck.

Thanks guys for the comments!! Such a fantastic day out. I've got a lot of learning to do but I can't wait!

Got a short holiday in 2 weeks and there's coarse lakes on site. Have already ordered some gear so just waiting for it to arrive and hopefully I'll get some nice catches. Even if i dont catch a thing, cigars by the side of a lake and just having a peaceful day out will be pleasure enough! Will post pics!

Next you'll be reading (or watching) The River Why and will be hooking up with your own cigar-loving Eddy. It does get better than cigars and fishing.

It's cool to see someone discover the outdoors like this. It makes a great day to catch something but on those days when the fish are not biting I always tell myself, "Somewhere, some body else wishes they were doing what you are doing." And it's always fun just to get outside rather than sitting at home watching a glowing screen wasting away. Congrats!

I turned 27 this year and until yesterday I had never been fishing at all! It's something I've always been interested in but most of my family aren't.

My work's social club arranged a fishing taster day at a place only about 20 miles away from where I live called Emperor Lakes. It was a bargain price and I thought I'd give it a shot.

They had coaches on site and as I'd never been fishing before I was taking on board a lot of information which means I didn't get a chance to take any photos myself. I did get the opportunity to sit back in the afternoon with a Party Lusitania and just enjoy the peaceful surroundings while fishing and I've got to say (pun intended) I'm hooked!!

Had a few bites that I lost including a small carp that I was bringing in and had an inch away from my hand before it got itself off the hook! Landed 7 fish total which were mostly small roach and then there was this beauty...4 lbs 6 oz Tench! Not a record breaker but a beautiful fish and a fantastic land for my first ever attempt!

So I'm off to do some research and buy some gear! Expect future posts!!!!

Very nice catch!
