I fished with 4 young lads on sat, if you read my blogg, and I told them plenty of times to fish in one area.

I told one lad off as I was having a 'break' while my heart rate calmed down after landing the 4 3/4 lb'r he jumped straight into my swim I let it go but I did mention it to him a little later.

Told him it was my swim, I fishing it before you came and I had baited it up and I knew what was going on, I said next time he did that I wouldnt be so leniant with him,

Also the lad who (if you read my blogg) was on his own and turned up just after I did, not only did I have trouble at gettng my whip back, his rod and reel were what you expect of a young lads, a bit battered to say the least. So I had to tell him to give it me back and also he was switching his swim every two minutes also and this was a lad who was experienced in fishing yet still was going from one swim to another, and in the end I had to tell him to make up his mind where he was fishing.

In the end I just gave up, I was tired and packed up.

But the best part of the day was when I re-rigged up two of the lads rods and reels and wiht their first chucks back into the pond they both caught fish, good uns too. They saw and felt what I was telling them in using wagglers and the depth of the pond.

Also I tried to instill them that you need to fish in one area and stick with it, moving around the pond every two minutes will mean you catch less fish, I then showed them that it was possible to fish any part side of the pond you were in as it is not very big. I showed them that even with my 6m whip i was reaching the other side, and not only was I reaching any part of the pond that I was also able to catch from any part of the pond. so there was plenty of fish so you have to stick with one area and just fish it.

I think one lad took this on, showing him that if you consistently hit the same point you are attracting fish, esp if you chuck in a few freebies, also if you chuck in freebies it can occupy the smaller fish while your bait could attract the bigger fish, well that is the theroy anyway.

The ruling where I fish is under 11 have to be accompanied by an adult, but that means you get groups of lads like I saw on sat.

All they need is a bit of tutoring, a bit help, I know the very basics in fishing and I am learning thro websites like this, tv and magazines and such like, but if they can grasp the basics then they will be 'hooked' (pardon the pun) to the sport for good.
