Hi everyone,
Introducing myself:
Name is Dave and I live in Bridlington on the east coast. Continental shifts at work and an understanding missus at home, along with three grown up lads, allow me to have plenty of time getting my line wet. Favourite venue is Raker Lakes at Wheldrake near York - although it is a 80 mile round trip for me the venue and fishing is well worth the petrol. Venues that I fish that are nearer home include Rosedale Pond at Hunmanby and Scarborough Mere. Plan to make a trip through to Market Weighton to buy a permit (still £30 I think) for fishing their ponds too this year and also have a date set for a days fishing at Fossehill, near Brandesburton, next week.
I haven't ever been bitten by the match fishing scene, but I have seen some matches scheduled for later the year on these forums. Is it possible to come along and watch these? It might inspire me to give it a go.
Nice to be here on the Yorkshire Fishing website.

You will be made very welcome as spectator these social matches are for fun only no pools involved just the bragging rights thd lads and (lass Jo) who fish them are a great bunch people. The only thing is if you go as a spectator you wished you had taken your gear to have a go yourself.

You are probably right Steve, I will have to sit on my hands all day. It will be interesting to get an insight into what is involved in fishing matches. Am really looking forward to going now.
