Welcome to TFF, you will most certainly find it a refreshing change, plenty of like minded anglers to rub shoulders with.
Could well see you on the next Chelmer beano!

Re: Hello form sunny Essex
The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!

Re: Hello form sunny Essex
Wow I almost felt like I was reading my own introduction 7 years ago!
Many of us have had the same journey, congratulations on seeing the light.
Your seasons will now get better every year as did mine and I catch nowhere near as many or big fish as I once did but on the flip side I enjoy every single minute sat by the water as now the blinkers are off there's so much to enjoy.
You will like it here very much

We’re taking over I tell thee!
Welcome Sir from Chelmsford. I’ll arrange an evening get together in the closed season and we can have a proper natter.

Re: Hello form sunny Essex
Welcome, Touchwood. I find it very satisfying catching fish on old tackle, not necessarily cane, especially when most anglers I see have very expensive barge poles with bungee straps. I'm sure they enjoy their fishing just as much as I do but I often get comments, most of them complimentary, about my ancient reels and Octofloat, although I think my whole cane and greenheart Allcocks Walking Stick (called Viking on the label) is beyond the pale.
