  1. Don’t know about perch but lure fishing for pike at night is worth doing . Phil blakey is well known for it , he did articles in the old p&p mag about it even catching on surface lures . He might have vids on his YouTube channel of him doing it . Think Black Country piker might have some aswell on his channel
  2. This is a couple caught on the fly last year on the canal . Most of the fish we get round here are only little jacks with the occasional bigger one . I’ve only lure and fly fished for them for years now so it could be that they are there but I’m missing them by not using bait
  3. Nice flies . Like you I sold my tying gear years ago , I’ll probably get back into to it at some point . I do have some poppers and also some mouse topwaters but I’ve not used them yet but they’ll be getting some use on the canal once it warms up a bit
  4. Had a few hours on the rising fishery on the new predator lake with a mate earlier . It was a bit slow because of the ice cold water but I managed a little jack on a small bunny bug and a better one on the 10inch tinsely thing . While I was sorting the pike rash out so my mate picked my rod up and had a few casts and got another decent one near enough straight away on the same fly .
  5. Is that the one where he’s wearing the horse mask . It doesn’t even look like he’s struggling
  6. Been watching the qualifiers and the giants live stuff and I’ll be watching the final tonight even though everyone knows the result , just hope it shows Thor spit the dummy out
  7. I was watching it and I used to like the atmosphere in the crowd but the naff chants of what a boring table , yaya-kolo toure and worst of all stand up if you love the darts every couple of minutes have really begun to bug me to the point I either turn it off or mute it . Saying that , that cross fella is doing alright
  8. I winced a bit when I heard axl rose was replacing Brian Johnson but he’s not bad
  9. When I used to fish there I used to put one rod across to the boats on the other side and drop one straight down off the rod top on a sunken float paternoster rigged big herring right at the corner of the canal/basin . Had pike to 20 from there and loads of other doubles but strangely only ever had one jack
  10. This is a genuine question and I might be being a bit thick here but how do the backdated bans work . I understand that Tyson was out of the ring for 2 years and that covers it but Hughie carried on fighting so hasn’t missed the 2 years like Tyson did . I’m not bothered whether he’s served the ban or not , just curious how it’s been backdated
  11. Yeah but that’s not fashionable and pc enough and doesn’t get you the free publicity
  12. Anyone see the smith injury , first time I’ve seen something like that in the ring . He was losing anyway but there was no way he could of carried on like that . The solido v Roman fight on the same card was a good one , a proper toe to toe Mexican fight
  13. Another easy night for lomachenko , totally mugged rigendeaux off and made him look amateurish and resorting to grabbing hold and fighting dirty . I saw some compu box stats that say he didn’t land more than 3 punches in any round .
  14. I’ve said the same thing about this . Every time wilder is forced to fight a live opponent this seems to happen to them and the fight quietly goes away . If I was in to conspiracy’s I’d say someone with a lot of power in the game is protecting him for some reason , maybe because they are making money off him or maybe just to keep an American heavyweight champion , who knows but this doesn’t seem to happen with other fighters . If that’s not the case then he must be the most unlucky bloke in boxing but why is it always the ones that will hit him back that this happens to . He’s had 39 fight
  15. Couple from prince buster and one from lord creator
  16. I got some berghaus merino ones from go outdoors that are not bad . I wear them for wading in winter and dont get cold feet in them and they arent that expensive
  17. Think Micheal venom Paige is on the bill aswell , be interesting to see how he adapts to the switch from MMA and if hes still as entertaining as he is in the octagon
  18. Watched it last week and thought the same , all their so called mates who helped them bubbled them straight away with virtually no prompting . Im sure its all scripted just to try and keep a bit of interest and tension in the show because they dont seem to be able to disappear for more than a few minutes before a new lead drops in the chasers laps

    Went back with them myself last month with a 60% off for 12 months deal so I got phone , broadband and everything else bar movies which Im not bothered about for just over 40 a month .

  21. Had a load of horses go mental when i was out lamping years ago . We didn't even know they were there till the beam hit them and as soon as it did they just set off running back up the field towards us . Don't think they were charging us but we jumped back over the fence double quick because they were coming right at us at speed . It was probably more that the beam spooked them and the only way they could go was back past us but I've never lamped a field with horses since
  22. I remember seeing an ad a couple of years ago for "rare" blue labradors on preloved or somewhere like that down London way and they were after 2000 and that didn't include the breeding rights unless you negotiated for them aswell . The same people also had another fancy coloured litter of labs for sale aswell for similar money and it wouldn't surprise me if they couldn't breed them fast enough . Im not saying they shouldn't charge for them but a lot of these breeders take the piss with the prices and the names and colours they come up with is nonsense. When I was a kid labs came in black and y
  23. Think it was arbout £75 back in 87 as a labourer/welder . My old man got me the job with him the day after I left school at 15 . Lasted about 12 months before I jacked because I didn't like working with him and it's only in the last few weeks I've started speaking to him again
