Looks awesome; know how you feel..

Moody one from the weekend..

One from this weekend.. Only taken on a phone but with some editing they can look ok..

From a few years ago.

Although I've no real need to buy bait I would most definitely give these consideration if I did, I know a few lads using them and only hear positive comments about them on very difficult waters too.

Yes Myles I believe the owners name is; very small lake. There's also Park Fishery up near Blackboys if you know it?

Do you know about Longreed?

I've not forgotten Jack, my mate is finding out for you. He did say it has got very tricky there but some decent sized fish to try for..

There is one called the road lake nr Hailsham, not sure who you would contact but can find out for you..

Before the houses were built on the Witney bank..

As you mention Minamino / multimino; has anybody tried the new AA Baits Megamino? MegaMino™️ - AA Baits The blurb is as always enticing, a mate has been using it and I must say he is doing well using a small amount on pellet, on a notoriously tricky CV lake. I have tried it the last 2 sessions but as my water here isn't one for giving up it's prizes often it's less easy to judge. A couple of pick up's a year is good going..

Ha, right posh that..! I went down the Nash canvas overwrap route in 91 iirc, back in the days of carrying everything to the swim.. Where are you based in Sussex Oldboy?

That was summer 89 I think; no bans for anything then, you had to buy a ticket at the post office in Lechlade to fish, £7.50 a day or £25 a week seems to come to mind.. That 200lb cat actually was from Cassien not the Ebro I remembered after posting above; one of the fist massive cats caught by an English angler at the time. Nowadays it has obviously changed a lot, like everywhere has, it is still a nice place to hand out fore a few days when not too busy..

That's the problem these days; and partly why I no longer have any fast bikes, certainly in the SE of the country anyway, way too many cameras etc, you just can't enjoy riding freely much without doing track days..

That's lovely, good to see some retro Jap 4's around still.. Did you do the restoration?
