spankysufc Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 mine are to spend more time pleasuring and less time in matches, want to catch a nice tench (5lb +) and also a river barbel!!!!! also am going to spend more time on coaching and developing my junior club which has started off nicely with a £1000 grant to spend on gear to start me off!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielH Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Mine are similar to Spanky's, I want a 5lb+ Tench and a river Barbel, also a nice big Chub would be nice too but I'm struggling to find them on the Don at the minute. Other than that I'm just going to pleasure fish a variety of venues and see what turns up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodnreeluk Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I don't think the size of the fish really matters. To a big degree that is down to the venue you are fishing. It is the getting out there and enjoying it that counts. I am not knocking anyone who chases big fish - each to his own, and I can see the attraction. So, my target for this year is to get on the bankside as much as possible and enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me silvers please, even a 5lb Carp cause me too much hassle to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
