Excellent writing mate, don't compare yourself to anyone, everyone has a different style...

I reckon your blog is a top read.. Just the thought of returning to carp fishing after nearly a decade ..

Just finding ten minutes to fill my own blog in has been a bit of a struggle over the last few weeks (hence the shortish posts done with not to much atmosphere).
Good luck with the 'Biggie'
