Back from my 48 hour session. Great social to be fair, and beautiful surroundings. Just the one fish, a 21lb 2oz mirror. A pretty expensive fish all in all. :-)

Suppose I could always leave the rods out and nip for a pint. :-)

Off for a 48 hour session Sunday to Tuesday at Bluebell lakes, Tansor near Peterborough. Now got so much gear I struggle to fit it into the A4 Avant with the back seats folded down. Not sure where I go from here if I blank again! :-)

So very tragic. RIP Dryer. Deepest condolences to his family.

Just caught up on the thread. I see a theme is "expensive". Just done first ever 24 hrs on a specimen carp lake. My new fox xd bivvy and bedchair that I can hardly lift. £40 to fish and £40 in bait, not a sniff. Hmmmm.

The new Leyroy, and maybe even better?? Biggest criticism of mahrez, 90% pass back inside. This kid seems to love taking the opposition on on the outside. Really looking forward to it.

Sorry DD, I could have sworn I replied to this. Not really sure to be honest, but now I have retired, I will have a lot of time on my hands, perfect for spontaneous fishing trips ( and the missus is still working !!). I used to work in Ross on Wye many moons ago so know the area well. I have...

Where is that DD? Fancy a trip to the Wye over the next 6/8 weeks. Fishing location close to your 'digs', or travelling involved? Cheers.

On my annual trip to the Rutland lodge. Only one swim on the lake which is direct access from my lodge. Been about 20 times in the last 13 years or so. Weather not helping, but very disappointing so far. A few carp as you would expect, but normally some great perch, biggest I have had here is...

That fooking Haribo advert...'we are the police'. Additionally I suspect it is representative.

Thank fuck that. Retired today.37 years at the same company. 61.5 so thankfully earlier than I originally planned. Bring on the fishing. Taken aback at my retirement presentation today £661 angling direct voucher! This thread is going to get busier!

Condolences Oakie. May your mum RIP.

Almost 19 years. Where the fook does time go! :-)

Fook me. Just read that statement. Need 5 minutes in the garden or I am going to be blubbing. Talk about tears welling up. Thank you for everything Gundog.
