  1. Almost happened to me in Oxfordshire played a really big fish for a long time got weed jammed in the top eye I’m in the water barefooted water up to my crutch the fish is there beaten just beyond the net a big Common... I dropped the rod and pulled the line and her over the cord..... Happy days but soo close to being one of the saddest.
  2. I do like the long shape of the fish you catch .... but that dark one looks special mate 👍
  3. I still got my old stealth brolly and use it as well but lost the bell cap. I managed to find one on eBay this year for £5 .....but them spokes no wonder I got no hair.
  4. Awww my giddy aunt.... gutted for you
  5. My bed chair gos on first legs out and extended fully then secured with installation tape ... but still tips now an then 😞
  6. I should say this is not my barrow mine is a lot smaller I had a puncture ( 1st time ever ) and borrowed it off a father and son who jumped in the swim I left. They were grateful that I showed them where I caught my fish how many wraps and how much bait i put in.... I often wonder if they had any.
  7. Yes we did mainly codling around 3lb good eating size. 5 lug with a whipped on crab stick ... but lug and razor were always the best. We used to go West Wales on the biggest tides of the year to get the razor’s at low tide.
  8. On the Prawn theme wonder if you could use crab sticks.... when I went cod fishing we would use them if we ran of razor fish.
  9. My first thought was some git has nicked his wheels ....that is light tho 👍
  10. Agree wholeheartedly with Yonny.
  11. Do you pay road tax for it .... oops it’s electric lol
  12. I’m surprised no one has come up with a adjustable tensioner thingamajig ..... if any manufacturers are interested in my idea il just take the 25% thanks.
  13. I was fishing the taff close to Cardiff castle for the Mullet small float 5 lb line, bread on the hook had a couple Mullet when the rod almost gets ripped out of my hands played what was obviously a record Mullet for 15 mins running up and down the bank... turned out to be a Babel of 4lb hook clean in its mouth.
  14. Corrr that’s a big girl 👍
  15. I find I weigh the smaller species of fish Bream, Tench and Roach to the oz but large carp round it off. I weighed a large Mirror I caught in France on 3 different scales to try an get it to 50lb but it wasn’t happening lol so I rounded that off to 49 lb.
  16. Yonny please no more....just can’t take seeing another pic of a great fish 😉
  17. I check on my elastic now and then chairs and bed if it’s saggy cut the knot pull it tight then tie the knot....I had to replace all of the elastic once (the mice took a fancy to it) B&Q used to sell it by the meter could still do.
  18. As above ...if not Fox sell spares any of your mates got a fox chair see if there’s fit then order one off fox.
  19. Well written cracking fish and good pics 👍
