Steve's 50th Birthday

2012 has been a very special year for myself,in May I turned the "Big 50" then in June I broke my personal best carp.


This page is to say a big thank you to all the people who have made 2012 a memorable year.Firstly, special thanks goes to my wife Alison & our good friend Pat (Patricia) for arranging my 50th birthday party,with their hard work and effort,we had a party to remember. "Grazie mille "


Thanks also to everybody who came to the party and made it a wonderful night,many thanks for your company & gifts.The vouchers I received for the local tackle shop have been put to good use.


I would also like to thank Alisons work colleague Elaine, for making my birthday cake, the detailing on the cake was great and the taste was superb.


My good mate Dave also caught his first carp while we were out at Croft Fishery, he was chuffed to bits with it and managed to bag a few more besides.


2012 has also been a good year for myself fishing wise,I've had some cracking days fishing and caught a good few double figure fish.


I also got my photo in the angling times twice in the July editions,photos sumbmitted were of my first double figure fish of the season, an 11lbs 2oz common from a private pool & my personal best 17lbs 3oz caught at Holt Fleet Fishery .


Final fish photo sums up why I go fishing,everytime you put your rig in the water you are wondering what you will catch when the float goes under.The carp in the photo has probably got some of the best markings I have seen, it was also in great condition and was a bonus after catching skimmers for most part of a session.
