A day's tuition with who ?

A Sesh with Nathan Watson

 

[The Landlord]

Jeez - there's no way I could have taken this loony fishing. He barked at every duck, swan...passer-by, you name it. I used to tie him to the engine hatch on our boat when I was fishing because he jumped in the canal a few times.

I want some casting lessons from @sly .

That begs the question,do you have enough money?, someone of my skill and expertise at decorating trees and islands don't come cheap ???

 

[Arry]

I think Des Shipp or Bob Nudd but if he did coaching then Dickie Carr I think you would learn loads but it would be great fun too.

Had a couple of days With Dickie and his mate Chris Vandervleit ( Chris is the wife's cousin) Dickie's a legend... well into his 70's now and still fishing veterans matches locally... he still can't say "Gamakatsu"

When I turned 50 I decided to treat myself to some coaching days and initially spent three days with Ian Heaps to learn about commercial fishing, something I not previously done. Over the next few years I had two days with Bob Nudd (one day pole fishing, one day feeder), Andy Findlay (Method & Paste), Will Raison (Bloodworm & Joker) and Nick Larkin (a number of days on the Norfolk Broads, feeder, pole & float).

Recently since moving near Hereford I have had a few days out with Dave Roberts.

All have been great fun and the guys have been excellent company. The one thing I have found interesting on these days is not only their techniques and methods but most fascinating is the way they think, changing a setup, altering the feed rates etc whereas left to my own devices I'd plough on regardless!

Although not coaching days I still fish regularly with Mr Heaps, always a pleasure both for the fishing and the chat.

Going forward it would have to any of the following; Steve Ringer (feeder), Des Shipp (Any method), Mark Pollard (Bread on the fens), James Robbins (River). Of the younger chaps, Matt Godfrey, Lee Kerry or Rory Jones. The list is endless really as there are so many good anglers in many disciplines.

If I could chose my next day it would be another session on the Wye with Dave Roberts, a top chap and although a noted matchman, an all round angler.

[smiffy]

Matchfishing? Steve Ringer and Des Shipp.
How i fish now? Martin Bowler.

 

[Zerkalo]

My days I had as a kid with Alan Scotthorne, Will Raison, Mark Downes and John Bailey are but a distant memory now.

I would love Martin Bowler or James Robbins to come and fish the weir I fish.

If there was one person I could believe would improve my fishing I would say Steve Ringer. He has a nice simple straightforward way of explaining things to numpties like me.

Nothing to do with coaching but one thing I always regret is that I never took my Dad for a days fishing. He never fished but he would have really enjoyed it.

 

[dealornodeal]

Jamie Hughes, Andy May, Jon Arthur or Des Shipp for me

 

[JLK]

Tipitinmick would be my choice.
Former Barnsley Black. Fished with the best of the best. He must be a walking encyclopedia of how to do it right on any venue. He's probably forgot more than I'll ever know. ??

For me, it would have to be Dennis White. A mate of mine of some 30-odd years standing and what a fishing brain he has.

 

[tee.bee]

martin james or james robbins for me great anglers

I know I have told this tale before but it still makes me smile. About 7 years ago I drew next to Dickie on an open match at Fennes, Braintree. As the match started he could see I was floundering about and basically told me how I should fish the peg. He chatted all through the match and with his help I won the match. Two weeks later I again drew next to him at the same venue. Dickie recognised me and in no uncertain terms told me I was on my own this time, or words to that effect and promptly went on to win and battered me well and truly. Karma!
