Fishing ….. boring Watching people fish…. Boring Watching people watching people fish on telly…. Absolutely mint! fishomania will be the best thing on telly this weekend, class!
Know Westwood Lakes well, it’s developed massively over the last few years. My grandad spent many, many hours fishing them lakes.
I am always grateful for the fact that when I went fishing on the "cut" at Wombwell, I never caught anything.
My old man used to walk me down the cut as he went to work at Cortonwood .never caught a thing. Walk there regularly and it's got a few good fish in but it's about a foot deep now and in a right state.what a waste.
Can’t stand fishing like that in a bloody big pond stuffed with fish. Like the natural stuff though like rivers and canals
My dad called that stretch "Greenland". I used to frequent the stretch from Mitchells to Aldham basin. I recall that in hot weather the local youths would jump and dive into the canal from the railway over bridge.
If it wasn't about fresh water fishing I'd say you were trying to cod us Most of us know our plaice whilst many think its bleak am I being bullheaded
I see where you are coming from there, take a perch and let’s see where it goes! If you think of another fish pun let minnow!
That's the end of that then. Think we can all retire the "I'd rather this terrible thing than that which you're offering" line of argument as you've reached the nadir. I suppose we could name other family members but it'd just be variations on a theme.
I never said others shouldn’t watch fishing, I’m merely saying that it’s the last thing on earth I would like to watch.
I wouldn't watch fishing either. I was complimenting you on the spectacular and unbeatable imagery you used to express that.
Funniest thing I've ever seen in my life was Jeremy Wade's River Monsters when he was looking for the Loch Ness monster. I was massively jet-lagged and watching him rock up to Loch Ness and "get a rod in" had me howling. Then he went snorkelling in Loch Ness, couldn't see a ******* thing because it's full of peat. Then he went up river and got a rod in again and caught some tiddlers. "These aren't the monster but what could be feeding on them closer to the coast?" Rents out a boat and gets his rod in again with a load of dolphins. "I don't think people could think a lost dolphin would be the Loch Ness monster, but I've heard of something similar that might." Buggers off to Iceland and looks into ancient mythology, then jaunts over to Norway and goes fishing for sharks. Absolutely outstanding TV. There's a shortened condensed 1hr version but it's worth trying to find the full length episode, think it was a good 90 minutes.
