Text of the page (random words):
experiences experiences some of this and some of that and maybe some fishing sunday 23 september 2018 he s back fishing again i thought i would regret shifting 850kg of decorative stone in a couple of hours on friday afternoon prior to my attending a charity fishing match on the saturday as it stood after a long hot soak in the bath i felt pretty good but tired after falling asleep on the settee i decided that it was bed time 9pm 3 hours before my normal time hit the sack and slept up until 1am i needed a pee and then fitfully until 5 20am just before the alarm my guess is it was anticipation of the day to come that disturbed my sleep the match was at the alders farm complex great brickhill near milton keynes and was in aid of the willen hospice it is commemorating my old fishing pal john tipple s death from a brain tumour some 15 years ago arriving at the venue at 7 15am just a bit earlier than the rest of the participants and eagerly awaiting the full english the first disapointment was that breakfast would only be an egg and bacon sandwich i have to say it was probably the only disapointment although it was very good well apart from the fact that it drizzled down with rain from 10 30 the soaking through kind and i was unprepared clothing wise not even a hat after all the intoduction we paid for our day tickets and our breakfast in the on site shop it was there i learned that i needed two keepnets i had one close to being thrown out as i don t use a keep net generally and the connecter on the top had broken so not ideal for holding itself open to receive the catch so bought a new one for 40 as it turned out it wasn t my only unforseen expense of the day and so to fish 10 of us all old friends of john the walk to the lake was quite a distance especially for us well me not expecting it down a ridged steep mud slope and around the back of another lake it took me a few hits at making the journey arriving at the draw totally knackered after relaying my tackle from a partial drop off point and stopping to pull up my trousers and to get my breath back i learned that i was the eldest and at close approaching 70 i have to say my much younger fishing companions were not being very charitable to me anyway we started at 9 45 i had a common carp first bite comments from adjacent pegs of oy you better not keep that up the fish was about 5 pound and i bounced it off the old net 1 0 to the fish i d made up a few fish after making sure that the new keepnet was for carp and silvers in the old net dropped one more on the net which was probably 6 lb plus but continued catching mostly on worm carp tiny perch and one bream then disappointment started to get to me as the drizzle carried on relentlessly my hands were wet and knot tying became a problem and when will they develope a split shot that doesn t come off with every decent fish or crimps the line badly if it s bitten on tighter come on mr dinsmore to cap it all my polorised prescription glasses fell off my legs in to the murky depths of the swim before anybody asks what were they doing on your legs i can t see to tie hooks with them on they are for distance the unforseen expense hinted at earlier so it was 1 30pm i d had enough and was dreading the uphill walk back so i packed all my sopping wet gear and left the nets in the water for the 2 30pm weigh in it was even worse going back and after a few stops to pull my shower sodden trousers up and take a breather i made it back to the car totally knackered so after a slow change from my soaked jacket shirt and plimsolls back down for the weigh in in the coat and boots i should have been wearing from the start the top weight was close to 178lbs followed by a 90lb net my result doesn t matter but i had at least two of the ten weigh in less than me but we all weighed in my raffle tickets were pulled out 3 times so i have a bottle of bollinger and some latvian cherry brandy which i may experiment with later the third i gave away all in all a good day 300 raised for willen hospice plus some topping up to come from the organiser paul scripps employers mercedes of milton keynes i suppose i learned two things about the day the first be more organised about my tackle and make my life easier for the unexpected and the second that my heart must still be pretty good even if the body isn t after two days of hard graft see you next time posted by fredb at 11 56 no comments sunday 24 june 2018 16th june 2018 fishing again after a fairly long lay off from fishing i decided that to get back into it another holiday was needed we booked a week in the norfolk broads at potter heigham in a cottage beside the river thurne the cottage was excellent with all the equipment needed for a home from home stay we booked through https www riverside holidays co uk wp content uploads 2018 01 main page doc 2018 without bleed pdf and stayed in the haven it will sleep 6 at a squeeze but was very comfortable and roomy for the two of us i had decided beforehand that i wasn t interested in skimmers i was determined to try and just catch roach fishing was to bewith no groundbait just loose feeding with a bucket of hempseed and casters from my freezer no maggots i bought half a kilo of dendrobaener from w orms direct and for a test some of their worm enzyme concentrate after the drive of about just over 2 hours we arrived collected the keys and paid to park for the week quite conveniently there was an old boy offering a river taxi service down to the cottage for 10 so all our baggage and my tackle was loaded on board and off we trundled under the bridge and down to the cottage it was stated that this was no more than 600 yards i think it was more judging by our 10 minute daily walk there and back to the village as stated the fishing was literally on our back doorstep what i didn t realise was that the thurne is tidal and running through in both directions at a fair lick i decided to fish with my drennan float rod and my youngs heritage and to use the stret pegging method at rod length so the first few hours after arrival on the bank were getting the method right fishing with worm as bait and droppering hemp and casters doused in the enzyme along the run i thought i had the method right as i started to hook into perch roach and skimmers then as it was beginning to get darker eels 3 on the trot up to 2lb ish decision made don t fish with worm in the early evening so to the cottage patio for a few drinks before bed for the next six days i fished firstly from the crack of dawn and later a little later and then back again in the afternoon evening for a few hours fishing mainly with sweetcorn as bait fortunately the roach took this bait better than the skimmers so i carried on using it with the occasional switch to worm when all went quiet my best roach was 22ozs roach were by far the most obliging only one true bronze bream of around two pound and perch upto a pound on the worm i should say that my 2nd bucket of hemp caster mix without the enzyme didn t bring me the bigger perch so perhaps it deserves another try i fished with worms again in the early evening on my last evening who is it stating that eels are endangered i couldn t stop catching them one after the other in my 30 yard stretch of river all in all a fine return to my fishing experience beer when not fishing we were sightseeing having never been to the broads before timing our journeys to coincide with the appearance of a real ale pub for a lunch stop all pre planned of course of those we tried including the woodfordes brewery and pub our best experience was at the http thewhitehorseinnneatishead com an excellent selection of beer and very good pub grub posted by fredb at 20 41 no comments thursday 8 march 2018 all in one place my articles for fishing magic https www fishingmagic com forums blogs fred bonney index2 html posted by fredb at 22 40 no comments thursday 22 february 2018 still no fishing 2018 we ve moved house 8th december just before the snow we beat it by a day unlike our last move to ludford fifteen years ago we are now living in irthlingborough near wellingborough a ground floor apartment flat with two bedroooms a tandem garage and a little bit of our own fenced garden back to civilisation so why no fishing well it takes some sorting out moving home we got that out of the way and in the meantime pauline arranged for us to have 28 days in los cristianos on tenerife she hates our winters off we went 10 days after the booking in the meantime we arranged to have our kitchen totally renewed including all main appliances whilst we were away 28 days of sunshine mostly cloudless days about 22c plenty of seafood i ve got a bit of colour and a bit more weight too we came back last saturday to a new kitchen it is well up to our expectations new bed coming next week so a bit of shifting to do before wednesday another mate dies my old mate mick huckle a yorkshireman who i met and played darts with from about 28 years ago at our local pub in castlethorpe he is the third of my six younger than me team mates to die since we left that village 15 years ago he and his wife denise retired and followed us across to lincolnshire after his parents died they took over their bungalow in withern about 20 minutes from us we took up our darts partnership again and i started to play golf with him mick was one of the most competitive of people i ve known in my life time he just had to win he also called a spade a spade probably why we got on so well we challenged each other some of my old readers may recall denise died some 8 years ago in the last 6 years mick found another love in his life keren and was due to be married later this year alas this was not to be anyway mick died on the 24th jan uary aged 66 and we got notice of his passing while we were away in tenerife his funeral was yesterday he had no religion so the ceremony was conducted by a celebrant mick s choice of music started with us following his coffin into the chapel to in the air tonight after the welcome we sat in silence with our memories listening to knights in white satin after a good few laughs and even some heckling during the eulogy personal tributes and reflections on mick s life from his son simon b elieve it or not his next choice of music was firestarter yes the prodigy hit https youtu be wmin5wkoupw i t wasn t played at full blast as it often was in his car though this was followed by personal tributes by his oldest friend from keighley mick s hometown and his fourteen year old grand daughter ebonnie then came the committall and our exit past his coffin to the sounds of stairway to heaven his sense of humour showed through in his music choice rest in peace michael john huckle 9th june 1951 24th january 2018 next who knows i ve got myself one ticket for fishing this year so far and i need to get out and see what chub we have in the local rivers but only after a
