  7. FairPlay I,m quite keen on catching one of these which is another thing people are trying and failing to keep a bit quiet done a few mid twenty’s and I’ve even heard of the odd catfish making an appearance though nothing concrete if your ever down this way and like a bit of predator fishing the canal here is a bit special as I said pike to mid 30s Zs to mid 20s and 3/4lb perch most years and a couple motor home sites on the bank even get some nice carp here
  8. It’s the same 80% sheep in every walk of life just follow on blindly there’s a big tower crane in the boatyard on the canal near me and many moons ago a bloke caught a 36lb pike and put a picture in the anglers mail with the crane in the background the spot has done nothing big for years but there are still loads there every morning people sleeping in vans etc it’s probably the most pressured bit of water on the 16 mile stretch and as a consequence the least productive

Suspended sentence for running a hare is no different or less than having the shit kicked out of you and your motor and dogs took off you for running hares on Salisbury plane when we got caught in the 80s by MPs you just get better at not getting caught like I say we never had nothing to loose from the start so things don’t change like I say those that try and work within the law are the ones with lots to loose

We’ve become better at moaning than the rest of the world it seems people comparing us to China and Korea ffs, I still get up and walk my dogs every day catty in pocket I shoot the odd squirrel pigeon or pheasant and the old dog generally gets a run on something or another I still get shouted at and told to get off peoples land but as a solitary person it’s easy for me to disappear through a hedge and vanish been doing it all my life and nothing’s changed, have spent many afternoon sat in a country pub watching plod racing up and down the road looking for me, it’s all part of the game we play
