  1. I've enjoyed a bit of the ginger fisherman and various old school stuff on YouTube like John Wilson and whatnot, just been watching Matt Hayes and Mick doing ultimate rod race , not my fav but brought back some memories of watching with the old man...
  2. Yep that's heart attack temps, you can acclimatise but it's a thin line between pain and comfort , comfort being hyperthermic. Rule of thumb is if it feels comfortable time to get out , tbh my varicose veins hurt bad in cold water. I protect my digits with neoprene and if it was just a plunge then there's probably less enjoyment other than escaping the frozen murderous water lol. Well done old chap ....
  3. Too late now we're all sick of em lol. Looks spot on as per...
  4. Looks syrupy , I'm still supping the odd aberlour intermixed with a refreshing peroni.
  5. I'll take solace in that, hoping the slightly milder temps will provide on Tuesday...
  6. How long ? I did five mins in 4°c and that was plenty lol
  7. You sure it's not hanging about with muntjac. As for does with antlers I've not heard of that, hopefully someone can enlighten us.
  8. I agree the access at those beaches isn't great, the only iffy swim I've had was at coryton cove , had big swells which is quite fun but when it came to getting back in I had to swim hard and was knackered by the time I got back on beach lol. As for people saying they should go to local pool I think that's nonsense, but at the same time it takes a while to build up to cold water , judging conditions, wearing suitable gear , maybe using a float etc. rather than jumping in once a year wearing a Santa costume. Still if the conditions/decisions had been different, sad event but I'm sure lots of fo
  9. Well both blanked, not a bite and the other anglers we met on travels the same , so don't think weather was on side, will be trying the levels next time, still good to have some fresh air and a catch-up with a mate.
  10. I expect yours to fetch the beer open it and light a cigar else I be disappointed...
  11. Only dog I could call intelligent was an Alsatian my mother owned, the rest had nacks and quirks...or neither lol
  12. Yeah I put a video on to build one and the guy said whatever you do buy the bearings upgrade rather than plastic bushes, so that killed that for a minute. As a kid I got bought a tamiya astute , spent day or two building it with my dad, later stripped it all down for a service and my Oldman told my mother that's the end of that then. But I had it going again that day, fond memories...
  13. Gonna start off with this,hoping the curly tails come through , also heard if you hit a little weed a lot of plain lures stop moving but got a chance with these the tail will still flap a bit, put a quick link on trace so can swap about a bit...
  14. Couple of these , my lot asleep I'm rigging rods for tomorrow...
  15. I've got an aberlour 12 that may give me a thwacking later Ron.

    Getting there, dogs and kids got whisked off on a walk too much sugar, the bloody mutt got to my stilton....
  17. Yep near me , far too lively , I was in Exmouth week before and it wasn't too bad , if there's waves in winter I'd leave it , I'm going in a few days time but if choppy I'll be in the river , tragic for their families, rip.

  20. I'm out with lures Saturday with a mate, there's a trophy on the line as he bought himself one last time we went as he caught a decent perch lol. Gonna be gloved up and fishing hard no quarters given....
  21. Building these with the boys tomorrow, bit of fun I think
  22. Well having a late cider here before I get my head down, probably a dog walk and more eating and drinking tomorrow....
