what a way to spend a morning

[gnuuser]

spending this glorious autumn day in my kitchen making jams and jellies
making wild apple jelly today and the kitchen smells heavenly!
my neighbor lad picked the apples for me (hes a great kid who's always helpful) and i take him fishing a lot!

curiously some of the kids in my neighborhood want to learn cooking and canning and are always asking me to teach them!:beatnik2:
believe me for a long time most kids didn't want anything to do with a kitchen, so its kind of a nice surprise.

Sounds nice, what sort of fishing do you do?

 

[gnuuser]

bass, catfish, walleye and occasionally trout (fly fishing on trout)

Should have noted that you were in the states, Carp fishing is my passion

 

[gnuuser]

we fish carp here to but its hard to find anyone who knows how to prepare them for eating properly and those who do wont tell anyone how they do it
(like it some carefully guarded secret)
a shame too because its not uncommon to see carp ranging from 1.5 meters to 3 meters in size
in some of the rivers

True that. I love my carp and have enjoyed taking my lads fishing for the first time this year.
It really is a cultural thing though. The Polish have decimated a lot of ponds over our way with their bankside BBQs, they don't see anything wrong with it. I think we are one of the few countries that doesn't eat carp though.... I know in Australia they are regarded as vermin and cleared from rivers with electrofishing.

No mate I'm a fair weather angler, if it's raining then for me it's stay home time, I.m keen but not that keen.

But that can be an expensive sport nowadays too, but not as expensive as golf ! To start from scratch would come to quite a few bob

Never done it. (fishing that is)

No not really you could probably get a two rod set up for say £100:00 bits and bobs £50:00 and don't waste money on all these expensive designer baits, either make your own or use cheap luncheon meat, Carp are basically pigs with fins, they will eat anything, a lake I used to fish was next to a transport caff sausage fried bread bacon dog ends, you name it they eat it.

 

[dingledong]

But there's the clothes ,tent, hooks , with the hat, fishing licence etc

 

[dingledong]

What's your biggest catch

 

[Pete999]

But there's the clothes ,tent, hooks , with the hat, fishing licence etc

License £27 quid per year hooks and all that gear is included in the £50 quid bit you only need a tent (it's called a bivvy) if you want to fish overnight, not my bag prefer a warm bed so it's days only, wellington boots and a warm overcoat is all you need, mind if you want to spend 1000s you can go for all the camo gear waste of time in my book
