Bygone days

Paul, This is sure to stir a few memories then. The front of the bag was a clear plastic with two white circles inside one another in the middle. The word SUPRACRUMB was printed in yellow and white within the upper confines of the two circles. At the bottom of the circles, printed in a white outline...

Bygone days number 2 Remember these are all factual and they are my impartial version of true events as I saw them. This is the first time they have been reproduced in writing. This weeks' story takes me back a very large amount of years. There were two very well known anglers and gentlemen based in...

This article, as far as I know was never published, - I wrote it many years ago. I hope someone finds it interesting. I have another one about the old days on the River Trent if anyone wants to see it. Here we go. Like many of my era I first started fishing, as a youngster, in the mid 1950's and aga...

CANAL AND TRUST PAIRS COMPETITION

Hi Pete, if the weather forecast is right I would leave your poles at home, take a pick-axe and take enough snow to make an igloo. I would also change your partner for any eskimos in the area. Not so serious food is on before the draw at the Castle Inn, (just off the A41). All tickets are now gone f...

CLOSE SEASON - good , bad ?

Following on from Dr Phil. Equally as important boats. I live right in the hub of the Midlands canals. The 'big three' are the Staffs-Worcs, the Trent and Mersey and the Shropshire Union. The nearest points to me are 1 mile, 3.5 miles and 7 miles respectively. All these canals have reedbeds although...

EXCELLENT NEWS!!!!! Pairs that have qualified for the Angling Trust/Canal & River Trust Pairs Championship Final can fish any future rounds. If any of the future rounds are a sell-out (50 pairs) the anglers that haven't qualified will take priority over those that have. Hope this makes sense; it...

Certain few let the sport down again

I fished that match, - I was on A25. I didn't hear anything but firstly, like all complaints the anglers nearby have to approached to make certain it is all factual. It was over a couple of incidents of 'bad mouthing' that I stopped running matches after many years of doing so. Nobody likes to recei...

Only just spotted this, - great, great player saw him play lots of times for Spurs and Derby. If he tackled you, you stayed tackled! Always fair though and a much better 'creater' than ever given credit. Players are 'carded' today for his type of tackle. Too aggressive, what the crappity smack is th...

Well what a day of controversy. After four races all bets were suspended as the Stewards sat to discuss the sudden change in form of Daylewlia. The Stewards, the most honest and sporting gathering of former sports starts ever seen together were discussing whether there had be an unheard of sort of '...
