Gary Yes. I was a member of a number of coarse fishing clubs and I fished a few matches in my younger days. However, I was more interested in "Specimen Hunting" or the pursuit of larger fish. I specialized in Carp, Tench and Pike but was an all rounder and tried everything. In England, there is a "closed season" for coarse fishing which runs from March 15 to June 16. Fortunately, the trout season opened on April 1st so I was only prevented from fishing for 2 weeks. Things have changed since I left some 30+ years ago. I also used to do some sea fishing which consisted of "beach casting" (surf casting in USA)I fished for cod, bass and flatfish. I've still got the 12 ft beachcaster in my cupboard here. It hasn't been used for over 30 years. It is a reverse taper fibreglass rod that I built. I used to be able to cast a country mile with it.
