Hello and welcome to my monthly feature on Bankside’s new look website! As this is the first instalment in the series I thought I’d better start by giving you a bit of an introduction about me, my angling and what I’m planning to include in this article! Here we go then…!Well, my names Andy Howes, and I’ve been fishing in one form or another since I was about 6 years old. It doesn’t feel like 20 years since I pulled that first Perch out of the Gloucester canal! Over the years I’ve done a bit of everything really, from matches when I was younger and more recently Carp and Pike fishing. I used to love my Carp fishing but over the years I got fed up with fighting not just the fish, but other anglers too, all crammed around the same piece of water. It was time for a new challenge, and I’d always fancied having a go at the Barbel, so it was time to get myself a bit of new gear and get myself down the river! I found it pretty hard going to be honest, I remember having a little 4lb fish first cast on my first trip, thinking “this is easy!” and then blanked for the next 2 months! I’d always been a still water angler and I really struggled to get my head around the Severn, it just looked like a huge, featureless expanse of water to me and I nearly gave up! But then my next fish tipped the scales at 13lb 2oz, which is still my PB and since then I’ve been obsessed with the Barbel! That fish was a total fluke but to me that’s the appeal of fishing the rivers-you never know whats going to turn up next, which is what drives me on when I’m standing in a foot of floodwater at five in the morning! |
