Strange how fish seem to know the opportune moment to take the bait ,rolling a fag ,pouring tea or some mechanical hitch and away they go .
Ofcourse the worse time is when you have been sitting biteles for hours and you get a fish on and suddenly the other rod gets a bite and you need three arms and then an hour to pick up all the split shot you were sorting on your lap when it all happened
I remember one time my reel was off the rod after one of those terrible sliding screw reel seats of old came loose and ofcourse I got a bite ,how the heck do you reel in with a rod in one hand and the reel in the other ,it felt like nice fish before it snapped the line and buggered off

Unfortunately due to medical problems I am restricted to nearby, places with lots of cover (colostomy arranged for Wednesday hopefully that spots the cause) so stuck with fishless river .But think about it I go through the motions (
) and blank more than most .Fishing to me is being outside ,catching fish is far down the list .

I spent yesterday trying to hunt down a stunted trout, I couldn't find one!
I must have walked about 6 miles yesterday, through long grass and nettles, balsam, stick bob bushes etc etc and was propper nackered at the end of it. I visited two stretches catching fish on both, first tott on the first length and I had a roach that I reckon (without weighing it) would be a good 2lb, then another exactly the same! After that I had a few decent chub, chublets and dace, and a single small barbel.
You wouldn't believe it, on the next length I had another of those roach, virtualy identicle, they must have followed me
. I also had a good few decent chub, chublets and lots of dace with a few being quite large, as far as dace go.
Not a hint of a barbel on the second stretch, strange as it used to be lifting with barbel on that stretch. Only a few years back I had 43 barbel, some large chub, chublets, dace, and trout on one swim, and yesterday not one barbel and only a couple of decent chub and some dace, quite depressing to be honest.
At least on the stunted trout side I beat you ,the rest you win hands down ! Not sure the EA have left any fish in my stretches

The heron will have no problem I have seen one downing a half grown duck and they're not slippery like fish .
Is it a crucian? perhaps one of these modern versions going under cover to fool the locals

Poor poor clod repeating the same opinion every day ,look around who agrees with you .
Semi Brexit is doing ok full Brexit would be really ok .but idiots like you stopped it and demanded a deal
ANY deal with the EU is a BAD deal you prove it everytime you post your opinion (or more like someone else's you hope agrees with you)
As for me best life has ever been ,no debt ,plenty of grub and a 1000 channels to watch on TV.Are you so poor you can't afford to buy Indian chicken ?
If you prefer the EU move there but hurry it's not got much time left
Your Spanish holding are going to be seized to house all that cheap labour you call for if ofcourse the gangs don't grab them first. My advice is fill it with ring cameras then you can chat to Mohamed or Pedro the new residents . Or stay to keep an eye on it but I doubt you can serve up beans on toast to "hundreds of miners" remotely

Brexit never happened you remainers demanded we had a deal and that deal stopped Brexit .if you want to blame something blame yourself for demanding the EU still rule us via that bad deal.
Not sure why I respond it's been discussed a hundred times the outcome is there for all to see " any deal with the EU is a bad deal" Brexit was destroyed by remainers and a weak government who refused to obey those that voted out
It's all I have to say as I have said the exact same for years and nothing you say or the opinion you post won't change my facts so I will let you talk to your self again bye I don't know why you bother who's ever agreed with you? Just one sad desperate voice all by itself anything you say is as unimportant than it was in 2016

Brexit didn't bugger up the Tories the Tories trying to be labour did.And labour desperately trying not to be anything waiting to see the result before changing their minds 28 times (if they cannot say what a woman is running the country is far above them ) The Tories don't want to get elected and labour won't have anything to pick up the pieces if they do so either people won't bother voting for the trash or a new set of trash will get in .What will happen I don't know but if it has anything to do with the EU we won't come out of it well .
PS Brexit didn't happen "any deal with the EU is a bad deal" as I have remarked dozens of times since 2016

Still posting other people's opinion I see nothing changes there
,better here than Germany .watch your precious EU writhing I can hear it's death knell from here

That's great news now our grandkids can get a foot on the ladder ,but I suspect most will be bought by landlords for housing all those cheap labour you keep demanding
PS your getting confused by an semi Brexit (any deal is a bad deal) VS a lousy government trying to get ousted so labour get the Hassle,you remember like Brown did when he bankrupted the country paying off the banks ,now paying most of people's wages in COVID bankrupted the country under sunak .Labour will get back in and inherit an empty pot and lots of debt like the Tories did , more debt or labours version of austerity or will they copy the EU by printing millions of notes a month ?

At least they play football rather than goal hanging for set pieces and faking injury for penalties.Time to make it non contact I hate the shirt pulling etc ,need more black cards where twice offenders are banned for a season or two

Cheers guys,wasn't sure if there would be anyone here that remembered me,will try and keep popping by,but have not been able to go fishing since being on my own .
You obviously have a story to tell but being on your own isn't a barrier to fishing except for the company aspect ofcourse .

That's why women's feet are smaller than men's so they can get closer to the sink.

Yes my youth was spent under bushes Friday and Saturday nights but I do like the taste of beer and cider .Due to my meds I drink sparingly so it's now a treat rather than a norm .A can after cutting the lawn or some other task is about it . I even have tippled alcohol free so long as it's fizzy I even put still cider in the soda stream (used to buy 5 galls of still cider for a weekends fishing with my mate but low lost the taste for still cider) still got 3 boxes from my old neighbour who died 3? Years ago .That would have been drunk over a weekend in my prime .
Blimey he croaked in 2020 better see if it's ok or now cider vinegar

Yes yummy but cheap ,probably better than watneys red barrel though (python sketch)

Strange the English language has so many xx in the words it's as if some are censored ,spotted one where an immigrant raped a girl and as the father spoke not only was the word RAPE changedin the subtitles the word coming out of his mouth was aswell .Spotted youths using the word " unalived' aswell to get around the censor .
