As said above, if you don’t get it you probably never will. As with most anglers, I started at an early age when my Dad took me along. At first I was like ‘bored now can we go home’ until I caught my first carp, the next I was ‘when can we go again dad?’ I then joined a junior fishing club and fished matches – 20 years on I still match fish for money at weekends when time permits. I won just under a £1k last season in winnings*
*I possibly spent a good part of this in the first place on tackle, bait etc. needed to win, but still :)
