Iv been working crazy lately last break was in early May the money is good but there’s always a price to pay and Iv not renewed my ticket. Got used to working 7 days a week and it’s become the norm should get back to normal hours at the end of the month Another reason for not renewing and the main reason is I haven’t been fishing with my buddy as he didn’t join the syndicate I plan to change that … so Iv booked us a couple of swims at Linear on B1 for a 48hr he don’t know yet, he’s had the all clear after having his pacemaker fitted and like I said to him we got to get him a 30 before his battery runs out.

I envy you … I’m down south east of our fair country

I had a chat to my mate last night to see if he’s up for a day there, he’s got his pacemaker installed been a month so he’s got the all clear to go. Easy parking and a short walk so his mrs is happy. Where do you hail from mr mud ?

I fish at a farm about 3 times a year mainly in the winter months, from what I found out it used to be popular with the match guys but they can be a fickle lot 😉 and have moved on to other waters the last match must have been 5 years ago. . Theirs two waters one about 1 1/2 acres and the other a canal style which has the usual course fish but what I’m interested most is the Barbel which my mate and I have had to 8lbs they average 4-5 lb their in great condition scrap like mad and feed well in the colder weather but haven’t a clue how old they must be. The farmers wife who must be in her 80’s comes around about mid day no matter what the weather to do rig checks 😳 (with her dog who must be half her age) and give her advice. Banks and grass are well managed and with no litter, we only fished there mid week and it’s never busy with 6 anglers at most.

What is your budget ?

Try running around Linear fisheries in padded salopettes, jacket wellies and carrying two buckets to hopefully find two decent swims 😏…but joking aside fair play to you for keeping fit 👍

Not sure of the cc of my bike … and defo it wouldn’t make it to the TT but I would like to experience the racing one day … here’s my green machine

Had a run and got soaked 🙄

Hi and welcome 👍

Now that’s a view you don’t see often in a pic of a carp 😀 so not damaged just deformed a bit

Don’t blame you staying on… best of luck for over the weekend 🤞

That’s a big tail even if half’s missing…you going to stay an extra night ?

Nice result mate… the carps tail looks a bit funky in the pic ?

You saved a blank and fixed the waders 👍 …and congrats to yer mate on his new pb

Still coldish in the nights ? Bit nippy early hrs this morning down my way

Show the bailiff the pic he could have the info…how’s it going there ?

Orr heat up a knife then place it on the hole slide it over gently…. As an afterthought if your using your saw again and manage to lop off a arm or leg you could use the above technique to cauterise the cut enabling you to carry on with your trip, I got the idea from watching a old flim which I believe stared Tony Curtis called, now I could be wrong here but im going to say The vikings he unfortunately had his hand arm chopped off and a quick fix in them days was to set fire to the cut to stem the blood I can thoroughly recommend the film 👍 Best of luck with saw and trip.

Bit of bad luck there..but could have been worse might have nicked something very important 🤭 You could melt a bit of plastic with a lighter and drip a drop or two over the hole 🤔

The only reason I can think of to justify having a heater in a bivvy is if I was going to claim on mrs B B life insurance 🤔

I’ve got a Anker power bank cost around £30 ish off the bay of e which I’m happy with 4 charges on a iPhone and used it with my heated sleeping bag ok. It’s old technology got to be 3 years old but does the job takes a while to charge it back up tho

Aww I see… I hope it didn’t I had a contract in the past to paint 3 student houses, first thing I would do is have a look behind the cushions of the settees to feel about and you’ll find dosh and pens you get the idea ….that all stopped when I found a used syringe 😳

That post got to be the funniest Iv seen …choked on me coffee 😄

Highy what’s a needle stick mate… splinter ?. Were you wearing gloves ?

Wow …Did you boat it out ?
