Catch as much as you can.

[shaunemac]

now mate. basic match rules.

No putting bait in before the start of the match

obey all fishery rules

fish with 1 rod/ pole at a time ie dont chuck a feeder out and leave it whilst pole fishing.

no bite alarms

most fisheries only allow 50lb per keepnet

[Gav]

Thanks lads, trying to get keepnets, also practice, only been back in the game 9 months after 10th brake, my gear is up and coming but lots more needed

[Paul1964]

Can you plumb up ? just interested in how they work

[Gav]

50lb, wouldent know what that was if it bit me on the ass.

[shaunemac]

Yes paul , you can plumb up. U can cast out empty feeders/bombs etc to get clipped up to where you want them.

[Gav]

i wouldnt mind fishing some time with some lads off here 

[shaunemac]

how old are u walo?

[walo7]

14 years old

[shaunemac]

Ah rite. You would stil be classed as a junior then mate. I dare say the wilton lads would let you fish as a guest on some of there matches if there are pegs free , it would just be a matter of getting a lift off one of them. Ask them on here mate for there next match, can only say no?

[walo7]

alright shaun

[walo7]

altough it would be nice 2 fish a few matches i ment general pleasure fishing somewhere but by all means i wouldnt rule out fishing matchs to improve if im welcome of course

the best advice i can give is, to turn up to one of the wilton matches & have a walk round. it's full of good lads, with a good standard of anglers that will soon put you on the right track. Some of the best young guns around today started at wilton, just from taking things on board first then learning as they go on. it's always hard when you first start match fishing, thinking everyones a cut above but with the lads on this site it will all come together.

another good bit of advice is, never be affraid to ask questions, no matter what it is, coz it's all part of the learning curve and most are willing to put the young ones on the right track, we've all bean there.
