'Anglers Corner'

My first ever fishing box was an old wicker one that doubled up as a seat. I loved it. It was a gift from my grandfather along with A LOT of old shakespeare and mitchell reels and old shaky and mitchell match reels. I loved them but one year on a trip to A lake in yorkshire my dad fell out with they guy who we was renting our caravan off and buggered off without paying him. He had also left my tackle in this guys lockup when we left as he just disappeared without paying so naturally he was in a hurry to leave. Needless to say i never saw any of that gear ever again.

 

It is quite sad really as there was a lot of heritage in that tackle and It would have made a great start to a collection. That start in angling life is probably why I am now a sucker for a centrepin and the rose tinted nature of fishing in days gone by.

 

I firmly believe I was born in the wrong era lol.

 

Oh and elton has gone down to put an electric fence up around his swim to guard against any of the animals down there lol

 

A mini toy helicopter disguised as a giant dragon fly would be the thing to get him going or perhaps disguised as a flying saucer...hehehe

 

How about a toy rocket firing through a sealed one end drainpipe fixed in the lake, he might think the fish are fighting back...hehehe

From a spark a fire will flare up
