Mac Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Whilst up in Bonny Scotland, I have bitten by the fishing bug, I am a total fishing virgin. Looked around for a cheap starter kit, but I don't know what I'm looking for. Boys and girls, any advice?. Thanking you all in advance.

MikeO Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Been fishing once in my adult life Mac...a Sunday in September 1989 (I remember because I listened to the last Day of the "famous " drawn Ryder Cup on the radio. I was taken by two fishing nut mates and had an absolutely brilliant relaxing day sat by a beautiful river. It was only spoilt by the occasional fish which inconveniently got itself caught on my hook and had to be detached by one of my friends 'cos I wasn't gonna touch the bloody thing!!! Consequently I'm not the man to ask . (Also borrowed some fly fishing stuff and had a few casting lessons from another mate in about 1994 when I was going to stay by a loch near Castle Douglas...went to buy a license from a pub in St Johns Town of Dalry and was told it was the off season , end of fishing career) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
