Sounds like you’ve re-found the magical joy we all experienced when starting fishing but lose to some extent as we battle for larger fish. Enjoy it & make the most out of it. Canal fishing can be very good at times, especially now they are largely left alone thanks to commercials. I went on my...
Bienvenue!
Don’t worry about your ‘english’ it seems better than some of ours 🤣
Some nice Barbel there! Enjoy the forum, everyone is very helpful & friendly and will be interested in any tips for perhaps where to fish for weekends away🇫🇷🍷🥖🎣 🤔
Not up to the usual standard. I usually enjoy them, especially the Daniel Woolcott films. Good quality & interesting to watch. Young Alfie has caught some belting Perch tho!
Lucky to have just received my copy of the new book on Eels ‘Anguilla’ by the National Anguilla Club. What a book! The size of it warrants a mention to start with as its as thick as a phone book (600+ pages!) First impression, it must be one of the most comprehensive single species books ever...
I originally had the SJ but it was like a bomber jacket and rode up at the back when sat down. I’ve now got the FJ and can’t recommend it enough. From Oct - May, i never take it off (when fishing of course!). Just been the lakes and it was freezing with a 30mph wind and i was never cold. Just a...
Pineapple does it for me! The old (90’s)10mm solar pineapple pop ups were a killer for Tench, Bream & Roach and have stuck to it ever since (N-butric acid type)
No thanks, i don’t own any now. Never liked the LD’s either tbh. Get rid asap if i were you as the market for them is dying off (literally!). SX & TV’s were going for ridiculous amount's 10-15 years ago but none of the kids want them now. At some point the youngsters might pull their pants up...
That was the last photo of the day. We’d had really good, sunny weather all day the decided to have one last photo before the rain started and was caught just as i looked up and said “here comes the rain”
Was a great day and consider myself a lucky lad. We’ve known each other since the age of 4...
I’d pay anything to go on any of my favourite lakes how they were back in the early 80’s through to mid 90’s!
I travelled far & wide mainly after Tench & Bream and loved the solitude and pioneering spirit i felt (even though most had been fished before me obviously!)
Seems like every venue is...
Sorry for boring you but just noticed i’ve used same pictures as i used last time (forgot as it was so long ago!)
It’s the only pics i’ve got on my phone 🤦🏻♂️
That was my last one (‘62 series 2) full nut & bolt. Have given up now as dont really enjoy riding them these days, road condition & traffic speed (or just getting too old!).
This is one of my wedding photos (Brighton)
Must have gone up this month. Still worth it for the initial binge as theres more than a tenners worth of good viewing. I’ll probably leave it for a year or so now as i’ve watched most things. 👍
You watch & download via the app but have to buy & cancel via the website (i buy the £7.99 per month option, then cancel it almost straight away so that i just get 1month viewing a couple of times a year when there is enough new material to watch)
