I have created a map of where to go coarse fishing in Norfolk! It provides a great visual representation of the wealth of coarse fishing venues available to Norfolk and visiting anglers.
You can find this map of coarse fishing venues at www.norfolkcoarsefishing.co.uk
Right, the day has finally arrived! The car is packed, the gear loaded, licences bought, bait re-stocked - Walnut Farm Fisheries here I come. The weather is not quite what I had imagined, it is very windy and I would have preferred a calm, still evening. But hey, I will be fishing and that is all that matters.
I shall give you an update on my return!
Panic over - the brolly is in the bag! Fortunately I remembered lending it to my brother when he went camping, so guessed it was probably in ‘the shed’ *. Sure enough, tucked away and covered in cobwebs and a few resident spiders there it was. I did not dare at this stage try it out, I did not fancy being showered in creepy crawlies.
So, Wednesday night is fast approaching! Woo hoo…getting excited now!
* I think everyone must know about ‘the shed’, it’s that thing in the garden that you most dread to go in as it never quite feels that humans are really intended to use them - just the wildlife.
Doh! I could not work out why the rod case was so light, there is no fishing brolly in it! It would be foolish to go fishing in this country without an umbrella. Hhmmm…I wonder why it is not with the rest of the kit?
Looks like I have some investigating to do. Hunt the brolly!
Just a quick post to say it looks like a date has been set for my return to coarse fishing in Norfolk! Work and weather permitting…I can sense a personal drum roll here…I am hoping to fish Walnut Farm Fisheries on Wednesday 28th May in the evening. That’s only 5 days away!
I have a few things to prepare before then like tie some more hair rigs etc, however I did visit JMP Tackle in Attleborough today and stocked up on a couple of items, but I shall write more about that when I get the chance.
What is great is that a date is hopefuly set, fishing here I come!
I wanted to find a fishing tackle shop close to home, and I was pleased to find that JMP Tackle in Attleborough is still trading, well at least according to the various online searches.They don’t appear to have a website, but I do seem to recall dropping in once before many years ago. It was not a massive fishing outlet then, but it may have changed in the intervening years. I only need some fresh bait and maybe some PVA and I am sure they will have that.
I shall let you know how I get on. I will take some pictures and even write a ‘formal’ review of the first ‘Norfolk Tackle Shop’ to appear on Norfolk Fishing Life. (That will only leave me another 30+ to review…)
Well I finally got a chance to have a better investigation of the tackle box tonight - it’s in a bit of a sorry and disorganised state.
There was even a disintegrating boilie still hair rigged from my last trip, it may even have been the one that caught my last Tench!
