I have been carp fishing for the last 8 years and have finally had enough and decided to go back to coarse/match fishing. I used to fish matches when I was younger and general coarse fishing with a few mates on local venues. Has anyone else given up carping to come back to coarse fishing? I'm really looking forward to pole fishing again and fishing for roach on the river, etc! Just gotta buy all the gear first! Ouch!

Be Warned!!! The roach are now wiser :-)

good for you mate, carn't beet a bit of course fishing for roach

Best thing youve done mate, I spent years pleasure fishing and speci carp fishing, recently gone back to match fishing and I have no regrets

good for you mate that's all me and the bro do know is match fishing. you love it mate we use to do pleasure fishing all the time but we found that was it ???. we have found that match fishing to be more fun as well as learning more about fishing and we are improving all the time. westy as long as you have fun doing it that what it all about mate.....

Thanks for your replies, should be buying some new gear to get me started in the next two weeks, can't wait to get out on the bank! ps - can't believe how much things have changed since the last time I pole fished (8 years), hollo, hydro, dual core, etc, etc

been match fishing for two years, its brilliant , better than sitting on bite alarms and bbait runners.good luck mate.

Wellcome back to the bright side mate!
