I came to fishing after an injury stopped me playing rugby and was therfor relatively old when i first started. After i was a pleasure angler for 2 years i joined a local club and learned more in 2 months than i had done in the 2 years. It was cheaper than fishing opens but i was learning all the time, the one thing i would say is do a bit of groundwork and join a club that anglers fish opens has well has these anglers will be more switched on rather than the old boy that nods off on is deck chair. Once you can compete with the best anglers in the club then pick a couple of open matches and stick to them until you start winning coin and then go further afield. It takes time but there is no getting around it.

If you do go down the open route straight away i would go some where else other than halcroft, your right jamie fishes there regular and so do other proffesional anglers also the regulars fish there every day so they can compete with them, if you turn up once a week you will be battered every match and could get dissilutioned. Try the likes of wetlands nice anglers the fishing is better and you can use a variety of methods and would learn faster.
