My niece is a mixed up gender fluid homo/dyke/Geezer-bird type, chooses her sexuality at the drop of a hat or whatever is fashionable,just packed in her transexual partner and now going with a lass, my niece has short cropped hair and geezer clothing, in her early 20's,total f**k-up.
I used to find the odd one or two, I was lucky enough to live a couple of miles from the sea so the fish were really fresh-run, I used to love listening to numbers jumping on a still night in the early hours,just sitting on the bank taking it all in, never forget the experiences.
The only problem with them is they are too effective. I was once in a stream looking for big trout, a lot of smaller ones were floating and righting themselves then swimming off when I released the live switch, then something was floating, it was a pike,I went to pick it out of the water as it was too big for the net BANG it was like I had been smashed by decca heggie, I had forgotten to release the off switch ?
I still have an electro-fishing backpack machine in the UK, incredible bit of kit for coaxing fish out, haven't had salmon with it but wouldn't mind trying it in a shallow pool.
Most fish I had in a weekend was 120'ish,i was still at school, that was salmon and sea trout, I made quite a bit of money out of fish as a kid, but even if I had made nowt I would have still been at it.
I got fined £70 when I was 16 for salmon, the only time I was caught during hundreds of times on the bank, it was addictive once you knew the fish were running.
Yup, she existed, I didn't for quite a few years because I neither wanted nor needed to, I was working and making money, she had a respectable job. I still know lads who are off the radar,no paper trail, no credit cards, nothing
I truthfully stepped off for years, I still know people who are almost if not totally invisible, everything is cash, vehicles and homes in other people's names,it's not as difficult as it sounds, it's a lifestyle that most can't understand but it's liberating.
