Hi to all anglers, how safe am I out there?
I love relaxing by a lake side to carp fish but it is always a worry how safe am I!. Obviously during the day you pick a spot where you can see who is approaching and also be seen by other people passing. If you are on your own make contact with anglers in the next swim.
When trying a new lake out I always ask anglers already fishing where they are fishing to check what space is available and if they look approachable (but all mass murderers do!!) ask which are the safest places to fish and does the lake have any problems or a reputation. Iv’e heard too many horror stories, I know of some lakes where lads say don’t go unless you are in a group as they have a problem with being to close to main roads etc for easy access/getaway for opportunist thieves. Tackle now days is not cheap and when you add up the cost to others you may as well just put your jewellery box on show. continue reading…
