If there had of been a big cat in there it would have no problem in catching me. I was literally on my last legs thinking I was about to have a heart attack and had decided if the car wasn’t round the next bend I was gonna have to put my gear down and have a rest. Thankfully that was the last...
If you’re lucky you can park by the post office (I’m assuming you still can, I haven’t been down there for a while) and that will save you a bit of walk rather than parking in the car park
As Cliff said park at arley and walk. I measured on a map once and it’s probably equal distance as walking down through the woods but it’s basically flat. That walk back up the hill is horrendous. I honestly thought I was gonna die when I did it. I was soaked to the bone as well as I didn’t...
Think it’s a bit of both. Iv landed fish and still had half the meat slid up the hooklink. Iv even slid it back down and recast the remaining meat and caught another fish. First time I ever used half a big tin of spam I caught the smallest pencil thin eel Iv ever caught
Iv not been into bewdley for a bit so unsure what direction the bridge is closed but know you can cross the river on the bypass and assume you can enter the town from the top somewhere or exit the town at the top and come back down the bypass
Love the Waze app. It sends you on some proper random routes when the traffic is heavy but always the quickest way. I remember a couple of years back the motorway was shut so everyone was taking the back roads. We got to one point down this country lane where it goes to one car width and was...
Just thinking back now it must have been 5 or 6 years ago maybe more the river was full to the brim when the season started so after a couple of weeks when it had dropped a bit I went to arley and fished the peg just below the island. I got there at 7pm and had to pack up at 9:20 as I’d run out...
To be fair you get 16 or 17 hours of daylight so if he was there at sun rise and packed up and sunset that’s just under 4 fish an hour. Still pushing it with recovery time but if they were all small fish and he was hooking them within a couple of minutes of casting it could be done I guess but...
Absolutely love mine. The brightness did my head in to start off with but grew to like it as you don’t need to be staring at the rod tip to know you got a bite as you’ll notice it’s suddenly gotten darker lol. Plus you can always see it out the corner of your eye. I wouldn’t want to go back to...
Mine used to be but I gave up being to anal about it for the same reason u say first time out it all gets messed up. These days I look through my stuff to see what I need I to go buy from the tackle shop, drive up there, forget what I needed to buy by the time Iv got there and buy a load of...
I can remember being sat on my bed chair making up a solid bag of maggots and must have popped one whilst tying it and without noticing the bag started melting and ended up with a lap and sleeping bag covered in maggots lol
I wonder if colour makes a difference. First batch I ever made I went to a lake by me to test out. Was stalking in the margins putting a 5 boilie stringer on and at one point stuck a bit of fake corn on with the hook bait and watched a carp approach from the end of the stringer, ignore them and...
