RCSL Wales Coarse Fishing Event '09

Date - 21/05/09

My 1st attempt at coarse fishing!

With a day off work as a benefit - I decided to give coarse fishing a proper go for the first time. The venue was the match pool on Cefn Mably, and it was a qualifying match from work to see who would qualify for the National finals in August.

After quizzing a few of the experiences guy's, I was advised that sweetcorn fished on a feeder was teh method to use, and it wa sto be fished as close to the island as possible. I clipped my line so that I hit the same spot (about a foot off the island) everytime.

20 mins into the match - my rod arched over and my 1st ever coarse fish came to the net - a common carp of around a pound.
