Grayling Bash, Timsbury 2006

[maranman]

Hi Graeme, welcome to Anglers Net.You are right there are a good bunch of people on this site.We quite often have get togethers to either fish for new species,fish different waters or learn new skills.They are organised by any member who is prepared to take the time to do so.

 

All of the ones Ive attended have been great fun and given me some very good fish and fishing.

 

 

Thanks for the nice welcomes !

I will indeed be logging on on a regular basis.

Due to the fact that I have a full time job and a smallholding with Pigs and Chickens which keep me busy, I have got a bit out of touch with "modern" angling (I didn't know how to tie a knotless knot for example!) so, I will probably be posting quite a few queries.

 

One of the great things about forum/s is that somebody, somewhere always has a solution to your

problem and its nice to be able to help each other

 

Just to give a bit of background about me;

My wife says I am a Grumpy Old Bast..d and my 14 year old Daughter agrees - I am 51 but Grumpy, never???!

My favorite species is Barbel but I enjoy catching anything as long as it bends the rod. I have been catching them occasionaly since the late 70's and my pb is a rather lowly 10lb 2oz from the Severn at Hampton Loade but I intend to change that soon.....

 

Going to attempt to catch some Grayling from Barton Court on the Kennet tomorrow, will let you know how badly I blanked.

 

Cheers

Graeme

Tony and Sue, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Best wishes for the funeral.

 

Just to check, we can start fishing at 8 but what time do we have to leave the river? Also, are there maps of how to get there?

Just a thought, before Tony & Sue's sad withdrawal, Tony was trying to arrange a beer and curry on the Saturday night for people who were staying over. I'm happy to take this on as I'll be in the Travelodge at Winchester Sutton Scotney that night.

 

If anyone fancys a beer and/or a curry, pm me and we can swap mobile numbers and arrange something for Saturday evening.
