New member from Essex

Post by GameKeeper »

Hello,my name is Peter from south east essex.
I have been a keen fisherman since my grandfather gave me a copy of "Mr.Crabtree goes fishing " as a Xmas present when I was a youngster and I was hooked.I would accompany him on trips to the rivers Chelmer,Roding and a few trips to the broads.Future birthday presents followed Apollo Taperflash,Edgar Sealy float rod and centre pins.Then as schoolboys we would cycle to small lakes and ponds for roach,perch and my favourite at the time crucian carp.Then as a young teenager Avon and Mk 4s in kit form with a pair of mitchell 300s Chub pike and tench.Happy days indeed !Now at 73 my cane rods are still going strong on my visits to my club lakes.I have a large collecton of books which I delve into in the evenings.My favourite authors being,John Searl,Jack Hilton,Richard Walker,Bernard Venables,Len Arberry,Fred Taylor,Tony Miles,Stephen Harper the list just goes on and on.

This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

Welcome aboard Peter from South West Essex.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.
