Theres some idiots about , i was a member of southport daa untill this year and they are one of the few clubs around with a bias towards pike fishing . 20,s are thin on the ground on the crossens and i wouldnt like to be in the person who did its shoes if they get caught , they are very popular pike venues are the drains , a lot of it down to gordy who lives near by and a couple of vids he did on there.

It a common sad thing in the angling world!!

 

 

Gordy!! good owd mr Burton, lol, i could tell you a thing or two about him over the years.....!!! His brother barry was a far better man..rip.

[neil r 1,962]

Never met his brother but ive met gord a few times and hes always been sound , ive heard stories of strokes hes supposed to have pulled (tell me a piker who hasnt) a lot of which i think is jealousy based and comes from another fairly well known piker in that area , hes a snake and i dont believe half the fish he says hes caught after seeing him on one of my local waters .

sad as it is i think its somebody trying to say something, i remember a similar story near me badgers were getting dug near a footpath,the lads just used to leave it in a right mess and the press got wind of it,then a badger was left outside the set with a can of tango in its mouth for all to see,

[GetOnitSkinDown 5]

saw it in angling times mate

f*cking disgusting. and a swan getting stoned to death is just pathetic.

if they catch who it is, they should be smacked on the head and then stoned to death

sick some people killing pike because they think they are helping the water out but they end up causing more damage then good there some thick people about i would of radder they took it to eat but this goes deeper this leaving the fish like that for all to see is sending a message to sdaa i have fished the crossens over the years using a stick float some nice fishing there also they have matches there and a know some do not like pike there's also a commercial fishery not far with pike in it the owner will charge you to pike fish but would like to throw them in the shallow drain that runs along side of this fishery your lucky if the drains a foot deep if that i don't do much pike fish theses day odd winter session but surely the owner would be better of selling the pike off if he doesn't want them there i have personally see 20lb plus pike come out of there but the lads put them back ...john

Lol, they where both as bad as each other pal... If your talking about "MALC".. I have fished with both, and i was with the latter on 2 occasions when he banked good 30'S....Yet i never saw him pull a trick or lie about a fish, like i saw others do pal!! In saying that, i was fishing on Lomond with him 20 odd yrs ago, and i can honestly say, his ability on that place is second to none....

 

The real deal from that era and area was "john watson"....!!!!!

This used to be common on trout waters, pike left on the side.

 

Is someone protesting about the club or about fishing?

It is who im talking about and i know hes had a few 30s and from some hard waters aswell but he turned up on one of my local waters and set up about 3 pegs up from me and a mate and packed up before us, he didnt catch anything and a couple of days later i was talking to one of his mates who told me that malcolm had had a 20+ on the day we were on. Im not really bothered what he has or hasnt caught though ,i have other reasons why i havent got any time for him. I did smile though when he tried to use his name to get in a syndicate with a long waiting list and was told to go away.

It could have been a dead fish that someone scooped out, can't really see anyone with the tackle to land one wanting to kill it really. There's a few big dead ones come up now and again.

Gords not bad at fishing but his lads better when i've seen them out. He's a bugger for scrounging rabbits off us too

 

Which commercial fishery do you mean John? Leisure Lakes?

We all use our names to get places.... And as for the water near you, do you mean the water with the canal linking the other water???

 

And do you know that pike have feeding times mate, and if you learn them you can fish up to four different waters in a day... only fishing the vitual hour needed to bank the fish. So it doesnt matter if he came after you or your mates, and left before, he may have been fishing the feeding times, and not sitting it out...Dont think i am sticking up for him, as he a very very boring man, and i actually changed my number on my mobile because of him! One thing is for sure mate, he doesnt lie about the size or the fish he has caught...And also becareful what you say, as they are always going on about slander.. Like nig williams, i darent say what went on there but he isnt a very nice man. He did get filled in for his actions, but then took the guy in question to court for slander, even tho all involved knew it was true.....
