Dusting off the old match and coarse fishing gear - time to get back on the bream, tench and carp!

Well after having a row around Ormesby and Rollesby broad, Ive decided to dust off the old gear and give it a go again. Ok, the gear maybe dated, and methods may have moved on, but fish are still fish, they have to eat!

The Thurne between Somerton and Martham is fishing well atm. Do well 👍

Cheers. I used to fish the matches along there with Martham club when I was a kid. It was all silvers and eels then.

I've only got back into fishing after a 25 year break(life) but 3 months in with area and coarse i can't understand why i stopped. Stick with it with your grandson, this kind of thing can give them a new way of life and open them up to someone they feel close to. Happy fishing bud

[@beanysfishing2555]

Glad you got back in it. I haven’t got any kids mate, but it sounds like you are having fun with yours

That was a bit odd, my son got my tackle box out yesterday for me to look through, my grandson in Poole is more interested in course fishing yet the sea is about 600 yards from him. Unfortunately he's got serious autism and ADHD and now gets real anxiety going anywhere much, the last time he came here was 2 years ago and I took him to a local lake, it was the last time I was able to go. He did a bit of sea fishing earlier that same year as I bought him a rod and showed him how to use it, he caught a few schoolies and pout but wanted to go to a lake, his mum took him with a cheap rod and reel off facebook and started catching perch and rudd. As he's a junior his mum has to go with him but hes been doing Whattsapp with me asking about stuff hence sorting out stuff for him. I'm not keen on carp, I much prefer the silvers and tench so it'll be interesting to see how you do, Nice one mate, I'm getting there but it's a long time coming, you take care, Norfolk Ray

hahaha what a coincidence we both got the old gear out. I cant wait to give it a try. Glad to hear you are getting better

Was that Rollesby broad before the staging? Back in the day I used to wade out as a youngster with my deckchair and fish from point where my bum wouldn't touch the water when sitting. Nowadays I think people fishing from the staging reach as far as I used to sit lol

[@beanysfishing2555]

Yes it was Rollesby broad before the staging. I have a pic in my shorts of it totally dried out when they pumped too much water out in the 90s
