Jack Sowdens Carp Fishing Blog

Well I was supposed to be off fishing tonight, but i am just too busy having three websits to get finished and this is not including my day job! I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people who have been reading my blog and the odd none spam comment I receive. I really wish I had more time to write and go fishing of course.

The other day I got all of my old fishing photos out and showed them to a few friends. They where amazed at what i had achieved when I was only 14 to 16 years old. I used to fish on Emmotland ponds during this period and also won a few county and nationwide awards. I would love to have the time to write up some of the experience’s I had during my early fishing years as they are still imprinted in my mind to this day.

Not only did I fish at Emmotland, I visited a few other Yorkshire waters on a regular basis, including Hull and Districts Bransburton complex. I used to spend as much time as I could out there fishing and one Christmas I spent from the 20th of December to early January on the bank. It was in this session I caught my first english 30lb plus carp and this was to turn out to be the first 30lb er of the year caught on new years day.

I remember a few good trips to france during the period. I fished at Les Quis, Dream Lakes and the Fishabil lake. I have some really good memories and I am definatly going to write a few of these trips up, just means I am going to have to scan the photos in. Its so much better now with digital cameras dont you think! I must have spent thousands of pounds on getting fishing photos developed only to find they are no good!

Below are some old photos that I have already scanned in. Over the next week I will add a few more and add breif descriptions on where these pictures are from etc…
