  2. I know EXACTLY where your on about Steve,I remember the joke shop,your cousin lived at the posh end of southwick
  3. I once got 130 fish in a weekend Rex,best month for BIG runs is september,the Wears a great river thoughTynesiders wouldnt agree Steve,were you flatty fishing under southwick bridge or netting below where the colliery was?
  4. I used to bag-up good style below Southwick Steve,your cousin live in the Squares?They are all pulled down nowadays mate,still got mates in Southwick that do the fish though,rough place innit?
  5. We have actually been invited to fish for sea-trout fish,but the main runs on our invite dont really start till July,I used to live on the banks of the Wear which at the time was an incredible river for sea-trout,I had Falkus book when I was a kid,and put many a fresh-run fish in the oven through it
  6. Havent seen one of those since I was a kid,they used to hit the water with an audible "Plop" when spooked
  7. I read Hugh Falkus book years ago fish,the one I got at Epsom Car-bootie is "Fly Fishing" by an old guy called J.R.Hartley.JOE now casts with a double handed Tweed style,lots of tackle losses but very effective
  8. What?With Mack-the-knife and J.R.Hartley You know the old saying though?Guns are for show,knives are for pro's Make a cuppa,sit down,and watch that DVD We should stick a fishing clip up on YOUTUBE
  9. Already got sky,and you know what?They dont accept trout as payment But its ok,I prefer goingt fishing to watching TV
  10. Omnibus edition But we might be out fishing again at the weekend
  11. It was a good evening Wife,it was better than watching Corrie,even though Liam has now found out and stormed off to Carla leaving Maria heartbroken
  12. Have you ever had Thai fish-cakes with hot chillie dip?Awesome plus the BBQ season is underway once again,so sunset last night we fished a venue we hadnt visited in a while hoping to hook a fat trout or two Joe was using some orange nymph creation,I dont know if its commercially available but its certainly a catcher,I used a little number I knocked up after reading "Fly-fishing" by J.R.Hartley,I would highly recommend getting the book,if you can find it,though I am told its out of print,because I havent had a blank session since turning that first page.......................
  13. No mate,yours are fine,biggest rainbow I had was an 18lb'er,now THAT was a fish
  14. I bet you werent half as shocked as HE was sean,good picture
  15. What bait did you use mate?
  16. Good fish mate,we went fishing last week,same sort of thing,dry-fly on the surface
  17. Just donate your spare ££££££££ to me,I am sure you will still shoot exactly the same number of rabbits,in fact I GUARANTEE it
  18. Just emptied my box mate,sorry
  19. Good read lads,if you get out "Glatting" take some pics as 99% of guys havent even heard of it never mind done it
  20. I bought one years ago from Haswell Plough livestock auctions,but thats a great tip about the fishing reel Tomo
  21. And he stumbled on the steps of the podium said it was a labour booby-trap
  22. Just curious,anyone know if the Hampshire Itchen has a sea-trout or Salmon run?If so whats the best months?
