Bait Boats

[Peter Waller]

I thought that 'Trisha' was a carp.

 

At least Budgie keeps TV watching to his house, and not his bivvy.

 

Glad to see that you are still alive, Tel, I think that we actually missed you!!

 

'Why is carp fishing being discussed on an angling website?' Classic!!!!! Come on Tel, even you have got to laugh at that one!

 

By the way, do you like my signature picture? One of Mr Crabtree's immortal pictures. Don't think that he ever did one of a carp puddle. Neither a bivvy nor a bite alarm in sight, real angling. Broads and dykes with piles, what more could a real fish hunter want?

A most poingnent observation Colin I was always lend to believe though that many years ago carp fishing was part of angling! They actually used to strike at bites,set their own hook,use natural baits (or ones they made them selves) and actually used to stay awake during the entire thing! Honest!

Neither a bivvy nor a bite alarm in sight...

 

And they think Realtree is a recent progression, eh?

 

Still using ye olde traditional electronic fishfinder, Peter? You purist, you.

 

Newt, I trust yourself and the Lady Jan are in the veryrudest of health.

 

Right, I'm out in the morning for a bit of 'never mind the weather' piking, and I've got a few traces to twiddle. Laters, taters.

[Newt]

Well, at least at your advanced age twiddling your traces isn't likely to cause hairy palms.

 

Herself and I are doing well.

 

As an aside, some document fragments I have managed to nearly assemble lead me to believe that when Mr. A.G. Bell first tried his talking machine, he actually said, "Oh Peter, please come and help me adjust this infernal fish finder gadget".
