Caught ..
An eventfull day in the 1980's on the Rochdale canal opposite the [now gone] Shopping Giant supermarket in Failsworth
A rucksack full of barcode readers
A tiny jack pike about 2" long stuck inside a milk bottle that came floating past me.
Two supermarket trolleys
A 3 pronged steel grappling hook with about 25 ft of rope still attached
..and no fish, bar the baby pike...
Rochdale canal again 1980's .. stretch near the River Irk 'underpass'
A dead jack Russell and a section of telegraph pole
.. and no fish
Huddersfield Narrow canal
A labrador in the garden of the house on the opposite bank .. no lock gates to use so I had to take a running jump over the lock to to it and get the frigger undone whilst my cousin pinned it to the ground
My cousins left nostril ...
but over 120 gudgeon so a good trip way hey !!
bit more recently....
This Christmas in Ireland
Loch Foyle
... about 10 mtrs of bog roll [used and in lengths of varying sheet number but all below legal 'keep' size so it had to go back]
A tennis ball full of mud.
A pink barbie football.. salvaged and taken home for the young'un [ not sure if I'll be getting a tap on the door from HM customs for marine salvage ]
Loch Swilly
A plastic bag full of bread....[god it fought well in the tidal rip.. took ages to land]
A 'bundle' of about 5 crabs, firmly bound together in a tangled ball of someones old trace mono[ they seemed to have given up trying to extracite themselves but would have appeared to have formed a 'Borg-like' single conciousness. ] and not easy job undo with a dozen set of pincers nipping at you.]
A flask of coffee ,my own after I foul hooked my lunch bag during the backswing of a cast and sent it into the surf.
think I've probably caught more cr@p than fish
