BoldBear tge actual same boilie just gave it a squirt of booster liquid ,it somehow stayed put so I thought why not Fishing off our narrowboat and it tore off upstream I managed to get it back near the boat moved the other rod out of the way and splash knocked my landing net over the side whilst doing that,then I saw it in the head torch and panic set in ...luckily had a big gye landing net I use when lure fishing and GF leant over to net it with that proper comedy of errors but I’m still buzzing now ,,,not going to beat that in a hurry Thames fish

Kayak fished for a few years now ,mainly on the Thames where it’s certainly getting more popular

Seldom Post on here these days but good to hear you are still with us Dave ,I was only speaking with Rusty today about you whilst on the bank Another book would be a good project with winter coming ,hope you manage to keep getting out and catching a few Steve

16/08 a couple of weeks ago obliterating my PB caught 3 Chub. And this one on the same boilie lol

Seen real tree clad Carp guys with the oblig sun gasses camouflage bucket walking the banks of the Thames, as we chug by on the narrow boat and watched as they pile in their bait on their secret spot and I think to myself why not dress normally and have a rucksack I could easily turn round Moor up and fish it but that really is a tad unsporting so I never have, have witnessed fisticuffs where some have inadvertently fished a baited spot though Prebaiting gives a great edge but can easily backfire if your bspottedor baiting an obvious feature others may find appealing

Haven’t been on for years forgot password Still fish with a few old members Rusty ,Matthew Simmons,Steve Walker Strange times we are in at the moment and no fishing for a while stay safe everybody and hopefully we can all wet a line at some point this year

I have done really well in the past in lock cuts with live baits but only after she has been up for at least a week or so ,I’ve also turned up in these conditions and really struggled this winter we have been fishing a backwater bit that has a spring fed lake emptying into it and where the dirty Thames water and clear spring water meet on a crease was predator heaven must of been a zillion Roach sheltering in the calm but tap water clear bit underneath and around a couple of moored boats ,interesting watching the reaction of the Roach to tiny ultra lite jigs worked slowly ...gutty Perch of the wasps size would beat them to the lure but the bigger Roach certainly showed interest

Chris was that from the Lamb Stream ? I had one around the same time dripping eggs

Depending on how long the lock down lasts and how many of you are going you could look at hiring a cruiser on the river Lott in France ,stunning waterway and not silly money if you match the boat to the number in your party if your looking at the Dutch lure fishing then Rob Kraaijeveld is your man ,he is on Facebook if that helps

Thinking of trying the river Lot in France next year maybe hire a cruiser and travel and fish ,anyone been ? been asked to price a customers house in the Alps near the Italian border so may try to combine the 2 ,big Catfish and Zander appeal but carp will do if not

you need a kayak then search it vertical jigging or casting

Agree hasn't made a difference in gangsta types shooting each other or in other crime ,made a mahoosive difference in legally held guns shooting school kids or peeps walking down a high street though ...like say Hungerford I worked with Michael Ryan a year or so before he went onto his rampage ...oddball loner who wouldn't say boo to a goose ..well unless he had his trusty AK 47 with him I believe the Dunblane fella was of the same make up, sneeze in the wrong direction and loose your licence in my book having seen the makeup of many licence holders in my rural area I know peeps bring out the he could have killed loads with a knife ,well I reckon a random labourer or scaffolder would of battered Ryan in the high street before he had a chance to post a Cricket score I suppose after taking a breath [Hungerford or Ryan mentioned does that to me ] our gun laws after those work I mean who needs a 9mm handgun or AK 47 at hoe for sporting purposes America is ****ed for sure Google Jim Jeffries gun control vid if you haven't seen it

Going to Brewery tonight so subject to hangover may pop out to find you ,SS or Goring

I got it wrong Chris he is busy doing domestic stuff and sorting his covered planter for going his herbs ,,,cough

I aint been on here for ages but finally got round to getting a new password, new puppy in the house but hope to get in a couple od sesh before the end of the season ...Rusty is out today so maybe he will post up catch results or even blank results depending on Lady Luck Steve

Well got round to sorting out new password at long last ,bump into a few fishing mainly Rusty,Steve W ,Matthew and Kappa occasionally I have looked in from time to time but just seems dead....anyone know if Anderoo is still about ?

Damm that Walker chap now I am going to have to get one to or face redicule of blimey Steve how heavy is your chair

Says the bloke taking the Harrison for repair lol ,yes fair comment as Steve says anything that light and thin walled will be vulnerable to fatal dings that the Harrison will laugh off and say is that all you have got Keith doing a tap dance on it was probably outside and warranty hope you find your way home mate and the Volvo don't leak

Chris Brasier aka Rustmeister just wondered about the durability of the rod that can lift a big Chub and swing to hand Seems as durable as an Acolyte he he Still the Chub was a good one

Appleford bit looks good to and you have seen the other bits

have you joined LAA then Chris

Just as impressive as there sneaky sandwich stealing antics is the evening chorus numbers of them deliver ,serenaded every evening on the Murray river and powerful and evocative it was

You old git hope you have had a nice day mate

i have the Acolyte plus in 14 and love it ,there was a spate of breakages 4 or 5 from my local tackle shop mine being one think it may have been a bad batch but the shop got it replaced no problem ,,,,think when the blanks are that thin and light then the smallest ding makes them vulnerable
