Hello people hope there's some of the old guard still from when I was on before
After a divorce and an unexpected but beautiful little girl about nine years ago I sold all my gear and started sea fishing more
Now I'm getting a little despondent with that I'm thinking about throwing my hat back in the ring but it's a lot of money to lay out so am slightly concerned
So to all old friends hope your doing well and to newer guys hello and bare with me if I ask silly beginner questions as it is like starting from the beginning again

I wouldn't bother if I were you. I've read most of the threads on here and it seems the majority of members either hate venues, tackle manufacturers, the actual tackle, other anglers, anything on YouTube, all other forum members and just about anyone who's ever fished, written about or been within 100 miles of any water they'd like to fish.
I'd stick to sea fishing if I were you. Welcome back

Christ that's not very encouraging but you get arses tackle tarts and pure idiots in all fishing
Sea fishing has no swims so you suffer with people plotting up next to you
Other than a bit of bait it costs nothing to sea fish so you do get some real low lifes out and about
So I would say there is good and bad in all aspects of fishing

What you would spend on carp gear,buy a little boat and stick to the seas
.I used to love fishing around Anglesey by the rocks,we used to catch some cracking wrasse and pollack.

Go watch some Chris Yates or Martin Bowler videos to remind yourself what it's all about - and you'll be right

Afternoon,
In respect of buying kit, dont get mugged off that you need to buy the latest fads and the best rods and reels you can afford.
I still use my GT8010s and they're over 20 years old. Look on Facebook marketplace, some real bargains to be had and join some groupls on social media.
Can thoroughly recommend The Carp Crusaders Group. No idiots, no my fish is bigger than yours ******** and all round lovely people who give a lot back to society as well as angling.

Lol. I don't work for Jag. I own a plumbing & heating business. I just happen to have friends who work there and I help them out a shows when they could do with an extra body or two.
I wouldn't know decent sea fishing tackle if you whacked my round the head with it.

in response to the OP - don't feel like you need to go and spend a small fortune. My kit is basic for most places I fish and they still find themselves in the net.
think about how little you need for beachcasting and compare that to the barrow full of kit that a lot of lads think they 'need' to catch carp... keep it simple and save some quids
