    Just back - fingers and face raw from the desicating wind. No perch for me though Paul had a 2lber and lost one MUCH bigger (aint it always the wa ;( ) when the hook pulled has he teased it across the current from the far bank slack where he hooked it.

    An updated version of an old Joke.....

     

    TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM:

    You have two cows.

    You sell one and buy a bull.

    Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.

    You sell them and retire on the income.

     

    ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM:

    You have two cows.

    You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.

    Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.

     

    AN AMERICAN CORPORATION:

    You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

     

    A FRENCH CORPORATION:

    You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.

     

    A JAPANESE CORPORATION:

    You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk.

    You then create a clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them world-wide.

     

    A GERMAN CORPORATION:

    You have two cows. You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

     

    A BRITISH CORPORATION:

    You have two cows. Both are mad.

     

    AN ITALIAN CORPORATION:

    You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.

     

    A RUSSIAN CORPORATION:

    You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

     

    A SWISS CORPORATION:

    You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.

     

    A HINDU CORPORATION:

    You have two cows. You worship them.

     

    A CHINESE CORPORATION:

    You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them.

    You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.

     

    AN ISRAELI CORPORATION:

    So, there are these two Jewish cows, right? They open a milk factory, an ice cream store, and then sell the movie rights.

    They send their calves to Harvard to become doctors. So, who needs people?

     

    A WELSH CORPORATION:

    You have two cows. That one on the left is kinda cute...

    Laying On?

    in Coarse Fishing

    Posted

    So what (if any is the difference) between 'laying-on' and 'stret-pegging' which is what I call the technique.

     

    It's a great way of 'exploring' a swim and results can be spectacular. I fish it a lot on certain streamy sections of the Kennet. Lift the float every couple of minutes and let the bait trickle down-stream a few inches. Be prepared!! bites are often savage and sudden. An active and great way to tempt barbel and chub. My best haul this season fishing this wasy was 5 barbel and 14 chub to 5lb in a 5 hour trip - my arm ached for days!!

    First - apologies for another perch thread !!

     

    For the last day of the season I’ve decided to have a crack at some of the big perch that have been coming out of the Kennet this year. The stretch I plan to fish has been producing 3's throughout the winter and has at least a couple of different 4lbers (they came out on the same day at 4.01 & 4.09) . My PB of 3.01 was caught here 3 season ago but they appear to have packed on some more weight since then.

     

    So how would you go about catch them? Here are some constraints/parameters to work with.

     

    1. No live-baiting allowed - (club rules - please don’t start a debate on this...)

    2. Ledgering worm or maggot is very problematical - due to the presence in LARGE numbers of signal crayfish.

     

    I usually resort to trotted maggot - not particularly discriminating though - any thoughts on how I can up the chances of a big stripey??

     

    TIA
