I have called this blog 'Clunks Carp' and that is slightly misleading. It is not just about carp fishing, but all fishing that I do in general. It's just that carp goes well with Clunk. Clunk's Rudd doesn't quite have the same ring to it really, does it?
A history:
I used to fish a lot when I was younger. On and off from childhood until 2002. Marriage, kids, divorce and my kit being stolen from a mates lock up all added to a temporary hiatus from fishing.
However, a guy I work with, Andy, loves his fishing. He was apparently a junior champ and he recenlt returned to fishing after some time away. His indefatigable ramblings of getting back to the river bank got my juices flowing. Then one day I found myself ordering some starter kits from the internet, and purchasing my rod license.
Back when I used to fish, the internet was still quite infant and the medium to share fishing stories was limited to post fishing pints. But with the internet being as it is, I decided I wanted to keep a (b)log of my fishing trips and what I hope to achieve.
This blog will also contain kit reviews, swim reports, and challenges I will try to keep myself. I will also keep records of caught fish on this blog. Silver fish will be recorded in how many caught and weight of the bag. I will only individualise weights of these fish if I catch a specimen. All large fish will be individually recorded. Photos will be added where appropriate.
As I am about a month into my adventurous return to fishing, I will be posting a few pages in the next few days, then the rate in which pages appear will be as often as possible.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
Love Clunk.
