Been out scavenging along the high tide line early doors, something I did as a kid for fishing floats, sadly a lot more hypodermic needles and clipper lighters today, but did get one crystal waggler, one jointed pike plug with wire trace a decent hard hat and best of all a 10kg bag of instant light charcoal, passed a few hours and I can have a bbq later

iPad for me as well mate, phone screen would be to small for my eyes, I struggle reading texts as it is

Done a few nights fishing out there in the past they sound like there in your swim when they start roaring at 4 in the morning, gets the arse twitching for sure

Snap, I loose or break one or two a year, would be in tears if I’d payed more than a score for one

Google earth is your friend when looking for these gems, I use it all the time to look over land before I go mooching, find isolated parking spots and ways in and out of places ?

There is a house near me with one of those little electricity sub stations in the garden, I was doing some work in a neighbouring house some years back when a funeral car pulled up at the house with the electricery in the garden, got chatting with the guy were I was working and he said to me the house is cursed every one that lives there has died of cancer within a few years, was it just coincidence who knows, but anyone that thinks government cares more for them than money should look into how they reacted after discovering the link between tobacco and cancer, in short they put asbestos filte

It’s ok branding him eccentric but he was not a decent man, he Inherited longleat through birthrights and shite on his family, don’t really have an effect on me but a wanker is always a wanker even though people don’t like to talk ill of the dead ??

Another tool bites the dust, seems this virus may have a mission ???

The Trent had some massive fish in years back if my memory is right didn’t it have a few power stations along its length that warmed the water, the carp are still there just not sat in the warm water outlets anymore
-
Most rivers and canals contain good carp if your willing to look and they get a fresh stocking every time we get flooding, in 2007 I think linear fisheries in Oxfordshire lost around 3000 fast growing fish into a tributary of the Thames,( just one example) I spent the best part of 10 years catching canal carp from all around the southwest never done anything bigger than mid 20s but all on my own terms competing with the fish and not every man and his dog, what part of the country you in ? Sure there is something near you ??

Was told many years ago by a vet, when they actually cared about animals first and money second that if a dog could clean its own cuts it would be fine, but cuts were they can’t lick will turn bad,

Get you some of that 70% alcohol hand wash on them, that will make you wince ??

I,m a couple of years shy of 60 and would be embarrassed to admit I was unable to pump an air gun up, especially using words like old fat and lazy as an excuse, it’s good for your health to get out of breath from time to time, if you can’t do it in one go take a break and have another go, there’s no prize for coming first ?

Been going on since day one, the fish my boy is holding is a redmire descendant, taken from redmire as fry many moons ago and moved to a large Gloucester gravel pit, it’s all documented in a book written by Eddie price, who was moving fish all over, though his reasons were for the good of carp fishing and not profit, but it’s nothing new dippy in the snake pit was stolen from the river gipping by a well known celerity carp angler for an even more well known tackle manufacturer , nothing done and nothing said ?

And a proper leney from a massive under stocked water for my son aged 14, he,s also had many bigger but none better

The fight tends to change as you go up through the weight groups, ie a fish over 20lb fights much different than one under, the bigger ones just go we’re they want really a bit like when you see sea anglers having the line stripped off the reel and there is nothing they can do, at the end of the day your pulling against 40lb of weight with line up to 15lb breaking strain, the days of leaney and Walker are long gone and as with every other aspect of modern life it’s about instant results, most carp anglers last less than 5years today and they want instant access to big fish, so the market cater

Just bees and hover fly’s at the moment but this warm weather will get them out?

Here it is, goes in that tiny crack, in and out all day

I’ll go back to washing my hands, when my finger goes through the paper ?

The WHO was set up and funded by the 1%of the 1% probably not with the 99.9% of the populations best interests in mind, but I did really like pinball wizard ??

My son with a fish bigger, funny how things have changed, 50 years ago one fish over 40lb in the whole country now you would struggle to count them ?
