  1. For about 20 years, I had a chap coming to my place with the thought of catching a 4lb eel. About 8 years ago he was diagnosed with a terminal cancer, and survived longer than anyone else had with that type of 'the big C'. Last Summer, I told him I had lost what I thought must be an eel, short run and then solid, three times in the same place. He set up one night, casting to near where I had been snapped and caught one that weighed 5lb 6oz, his PB. He died 2 months later, but I got him his PB eel! Still getting eels caught from time to time!
  2. Telephone, Telegraph, TellaWoman.

  3. I had someone fishing with some horrible looking maggots yesterday, quite big, he reckoned they were Black Fly maggots. They were brownish in colour. When I saw this thread title, I thought it was about the same things, but it wasn't.
  4. Had a chap trying to catch a 4lb Eel at my place for about 20 years. I tipped him off about getting busted three sessions on the trot by what I suspected must be a big Eel and he caught one that weighed 5lb 6oz. He had been suffering with cancer centred on the Adrenal Gland for 8 years and died about 2 months after catching it!
  5. I've got a few regulars who catch carp with floating dog biscuits on a fly rod. Rudd take normal flies sometimes.
  6. Mine has got another 140lb to go, then.
  7. Had a small match yesterday. The carp were spawning! 58lb of 90% silvers won it. Back to the old days!
  8. My blackbirds seem to be pretty happy now that there aren't so many magpies around.
  9. From the bridge, all the way to Poole Harbour, I believe. There is another free stretch in Dorchester where Grayling are often caught in numbers.
  10. Bakers Meaty Chunk dog food seem to be working well at the moment. Slightly boyant to start with, then sink, so not likely to sink into the silt!
  11. There was talk of a Roach of over 4lb being caught on the free stretch of the Frome at Wareham a couple years ago.
  12. Can they be damaged by handing like mackerel can?
  13. IF!
  14. You haven't seen all the evidence! Only a few people have.
