  Ok….ok… i’ve not fished in 11 years but I went out friday with my old tackle and my old methods and caught a lovely, beautiful, gorgeous, stunning little skimmer on my first cast!! I was smiling like a kid at christmas, cant remember having so much fun in ages.
  
  I caught fish all day, roach, plenty more skimmers and two superb carp. One common on pellet at about 6lb and a mirror on triple maggot about 4lb and eventually the tench I was really looking to catch I waggled my way through the day and only left because I ran out of bait.
  
  I fished Aldin Manor lakes near durham after seeing it in the anglers mail last week and can’t wait to go back, it was a really beautiful place with farm shop, cafe and tackle shop. Five lakes, including trout lake, match lake and three coarse lakes.
  
  I’m well and truly hooked on fishing again 😀
