A friend said that he thought my posting about Amity was just being a proud grandfather. Then he listened to Amity's first single, Bite Me. He said it wasn't just good but PHENOMENAL (his capitals). Amity won the final of Futuremakers for young singer/songwriters at the Royal Albert Hall, and is back there for a solo show in the Elgar Room on Tuesday July 15th. Tickets are just £10 direct from the Royal Albert Hall website. He's being hailed as "the next Adele", so his future performances won't be so inexpensive!

Amity sold out the Elgar Room Amity at the Royal Albert Hall and the standing ovation just went on and on and on......... Amity's now taking this show to the Durham Festival next week. Details at https://durhamfringe.co.uk/events/bite-me/ He's also doing a solo show at the Durham Festival. See https://durhamfringe.co.uk/performances ... the-brink/

Not imitation grubs but; I’ve just sent off for some VMC 7237B Light Inline Single Barbless hooks in sizes 10; 8 & 6 so that I can change the hooks on some very small plugs that I bought for catching some Chub; to single. Hooks, something I’ve been promising myself for a long time. The next time you see them they’ll have single hooks. Let’s just hope the chub like them. Keith

A shopping trolley is cheaper and has other uses.

No we are few now not sure if Newts still going but there's few going from the start .I pop over to Elton's car site now and again but I think driving is behind me now unless I can find a cheap non existent zundapp and sidecar to relive my yooof ,they are rarer than hens teeth I have never seen another combo since I sold mine!

I'm sorry to hear this, another one of the good guys gone. My condolences to his family RIP

Very sad news RIP; my thoughts go out to his family Keith

Very sad news to hear, I never met him personally but i did flog him a good number of Porcie' floats a couple of times ! My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Johns family and friends.

Awful news I never met John but he always came across as a fun and top fella. Another one of the Anglers Net legends sadly gone. Best thoughts and wishes to Johns family.

Terrible news. Condolences to John's friends and family.

Cubed, Braised Lamb's Liver, (left over from last Thursday's Tea) Also worked, & got me 3 decent (Just what you need in a Match) size Carp on "Method".

Good to hear that they are good Martin I’ll give them a try for the Tench and Crucians on my local estate lake. Keith

Hi Keith, a quick update from Sunday (29th) at Moor Monkton Lakes in the Match. I caught a nice Bream, well over 3Lb using the Mealworms, 3 in a baitband on Method Feeder. I gave my mate a couple of handfuls, and he caught a couple of F1's (shallow on Pole) near the end of the match. They Also make Great "Banded Hair Stops" cut in half and slipped in the band after pulling through Meat, Or straight forward Hair. So Keith, yes I can say they Do work, and maybe could do even Better on a "Different Given Day". Just remember the "Near On, Boiling Water" to soften them before "1st Use" & just leave to cool on their own at home, And can re-freeze as many times you like. They'll stand, plain Hooking as well !! Ready to go fishing "Anytime you Want", without a visit to Tackle Shop (which Don't sell Mealworms and are Only from Pet Food shops or Online Sold, to the Little Bald fella, with the 8 Foot "Tele' Rods", (who has all the Long Stuff as well !!)

Decided to give the rivers a miss last night as all of the best bits will be packed on the first day of the season; so instead my son and I decided to have a couple of hours fishing at our clubs local estate lake instead; after Stuart had finished work at around 5pm. When we got there we were the only people there and it was really hot, there was just a couple of Carp visible near the surface and they were not feeding so we didn’t expect them to start feeding in earnest till around 8 or 9pm and we were right; as around 8pm my son Stuart had a very nice Common Carp and at around 8:30 I had a nice Common Carp too. My swim Stuarts Carp My Carp It was still 20.5 degrees when we started to pack up after I caught the second Carp at around 8:45pm and it would have been a perfect night for an all nighter. Maybe next time Keith

25 years! I remember you contacting me about the fishing database before the site even started. Happy days Now, health problems mean I haven't been fishing for years, though I live in hope of visiting the local park pond sometime in the near future. I've been away from here for too long, but am back now
