  1. This is another 'sad' death. like many of these 80's icons their deaths are in many ways their inability to cope with the pressures of fame. they are all hangovers from a life of drink/drugs which they seem to have failed to kick. The likes of Elton john who had those periods seem to have come through to the other side but like Jackson and Michael and Houston just never kick the habit......I liked him I thought he was a down to earth guy but then so was Amy Winehouse and many others and it seemed to be their downfall on failing to come to terms with being in the public eye constantly....RIP

  2. Indeed. It takes us 35 minutes on the boat up the river to get to some good Perch and chub waters where you can't fish from the bank and the same back and we can't leave until 10 am and need to be back by 3pmand so that really leaves hardly any time to fish and it can be very irritating as it takes another hour or so to feed the swim.

    Damn cold on the way up and back too.

     

    Bring on the winter solstice!

  3. I am looking for recommendations for a good river boat rod. It will mainly be used for chub and roach and bream this winter. I have been using my Avon 1 3/4 TC which is a bit OTT for what I want.

     

    Anyone recommend a good coarse boat rod?

     

  4. Woodstock in 1969 was certainly something unique and exciting if drugs, sex, rain, overcrowding, music, etc. appealed to you and you were one of the 400,000 who were actually at the event. I was a few thousand miles west of there and missed the whole thing.

     

    Ah well. I regret missing performances from Janis Joplin and the readily available sex (before some idiot invented AIDS) but probably not much else.

    It's a sad thing that Hendrix and Joplin decided to cut their lives shortly after....

  5. This bait has always fascinated me as many other baits such as fish baits and corn and meat I understand but what is it in hemp that many fish go wild for. It's great all year round to where corn or other baits go off.

    It was banned for many years by commercial fisheries for what they thought made the fish high causing stress and killing them?

    It seems more accepted now and many flavours are introduced that many anglers swear to catch more fish
