    Boot Space for fishing tackle

    Used to fish on my kawasaki gt 750, my last guzzi was okay electric wise once I had got the relays sorted, it did not like cold winter mornings though and no use for fishing at all, still would get another yeti with the optional 4 wheel drive, at least it has not consumed oil like the previous...

    Boot Space for fishing tackle

    The optional 4 wheel drive on my yeti has got me out of a few sticky banks over the years, that the previous octavia did not , very subjective car ownership really nearly as bad as motorbikes I like moto guzzi,s, who am I to decry the R1 brigade .

    River tripod

    I have two Shakespeare salt tripods , a well used quite old one used mainly for seafishing and another one that I used a flat allow bar for bight alarms on the tidal trent,some might moan about the colour but both have been pretty indestructable.

    Collingham aa

    Might not be as many numptie videos and face ache rants , although the great smell of cannabis and detritus plastered eveywhere will shift to many club run waters next season on mass, hope they can cope, bad enough the lamping brigade who turn up early doors with their blackpool illumination...

    Bulk halibut pellets

    And salmon farms in Scottish lochs always have a large area where their is no life around them from what the fish excrete , makes me wonder when the Trent staycation brigade are piling in the bait

    Lesson Learnt. Rod Posting

    I used to send rods all over mainly ups till they hiked the price, Hermes will only post up to 120cm but as far as I know fishing rods aren't on their no compensation list, always used a bit of down pipe from wicks mainly and it would take a lot of abuse before breaking, seams like we are going...

    Chris Packham

    Interesting read fingers inside the sparkle jar, he used to fish and has worked for gamekeepers in the past whilst I don't agree with some of the instinction rebellion mob ideas and the more out there idiots who would ban angling full stop he does raise some valid points. But to me...

    Wind

    Never liked a strong wind blowing straight across into the face , but a moderate wind blowing downstream has produced on the tidal trent and the Humber ,the only Humber bass I have caught was on a red hot very choppy day blowing downstream .

    Shimano purist barbel is back.

    Is the new Moto Guzzi v100 , the direct lineage to the classic, Le Mans 850 ? I really liked my Shakespeare tetra float rod great line pick up through action and landed numerous river and lake fish, till i lent it to some ming mong that broke the tip. Crazy when anglers are being introverted...
