[16v_paddy]

[big hp]

Been fishing since may now.

Always put them back. Golden rule of fishing. Let someone else have the thrill of catching them.

[Daz.]

Are you sure this is for you? Not looking very pleased in those pics! :lol: :wink:

[big hp]

Serious business this fishing lark Daz.

Trust me i've got some pictures of me smiling like a goon, (no1's seeing them) but i tend to remain blank and let fish do the talking.

[Daz.]

Ah fair enought then :D

Incedentely I tried talking to a fish once, I got as far as his name and he refused to say anything else... It was Bob by the way.

[LEIGH-ANNE]

ive found a pic of him smiling holding a fish....

[Jamie.]

Are you kissing those fish? One way to get fishy lips I suppose..... To think if your misses didn't know you had gone fishing she may have thought you were up to all sorts ... :wink:



(sorry about lowering the tone.)

[big hp]

Looks like i'm kissing them as my gf keeps telling me. Can explain that away. Fish fingers is a touch more difficult.

[Jamie.]

I was more reffering to the fact that you would have fanny breath!

[LEIGH-ANNE]

(sorry about lowering the tone.)

Your only sorry in my books the first time around.... :wink:

wot size hooks you catch them on, apparently its where im going wrong. last 5 times ive been ive blanked

I've just changed to Korda wide gapes in a size 6.

Hook hold on them is spot on, not lost one yet on them.

If i'm fishing somewhere which is a runs water, thorpe lea for example i'll use a size 8 as the fish have been hammered and have no lips left, nowhere for 6's to bite into.

Some lovely fish there bradus.

Where bouts you fishing at the minute then mate? 20's 30's and a 40+ sounds like a nice weekend venue. Can you day ticket it or syndicate?

understand if you don't want to say, Secret squirrel and all that lol. Such a secretive world the old angling circle.

[bradus]

cheers mate

its lake in colchester that has a long waiting list and you have to live local to get a ticket on it....you can do day tickets if you go down with a member :)

is a pukka lake just tricky at times..but i like a challenge

[franksvalver]

Typical trick of holding the fish far away makes it look bigger :P

Bradus have you ever heard of fryerning fisheries.

Its my grandmas lake that my uncle runs. got some bigguns in there now

[white16valver]

I love the way bradus has barely changed :P lol
