Well I won't be fishing it this week because I'm out for a beer on Friday.

I may give it a go some time in the next couple of weeks though and if I do, I'll drop a PM. If you fancy a walk along the towpath to laugh at the fool fishing, you're very welcome. I was thinking of the section by the Tyburn House.

 

Did you ever get around to fishing the Tame? I've had some cracking days catching chub, roach and dace on fly and chub and perch on lures up by Star City when I lived in Erdington.

Ken,

 

Dropshoting, with about 1/2 a lob doubles my catch rate in my Walleye waters. Walleye are more of a warm water fish than most folks realize. Fishing shallow(er) flats or edges (i.e. lilly pads) is most productive with lures.

I mean when dropshoting ADD about 1/2 a lob to your already selected presentation.

no ken never fished the tame but caught a couple of double figure pike from behind the tyburn house a couple of years back.

Will bear that in mind, although I don't think lobs in the fridge at work would go down well.

Not really fished hose pounds but a few yours back, I had some cracking perch and pike to 14lb from the canal behind Perry Park using a home made side planer and walking slowly along the towpath.

Ken,

 

NONSENSE, tell those ladies you are a tree hugger and have in mind improving the enviornment along "X". They should be quite understanding.

Foolish man! You are assuming that I will be able to convey an excuse through the barrage of squealing, indignant posturing and finger pointing....
