Simple Match Fishing Forum

Great picture that sums up why we go fishing.Look at all that enjoyment being experienced.
That looks like me ,the young lad with the blond hair.
I was like that..many years ago.
That chap has got my wicker basket that I lost.
Remember them .they were great.
Won a big match in the early 70's and rushed up to see Stan Elkington in Dells tackle Battersea and purchased a huge wicker basket for my match fishing.

Happy days........somebody always having a few despite the attention of youngsters almost kicking their gots over and asking  had anything mister?.......


...... and floats just a few yards away from yours............even closer if you'd just had a bite............crossed lines, that brings back a few memories too 

Emptied the garage about two years ago.........put a couple of wicker baskets out at the top of the drive......


Theyd gone within the hour


a damn lighter than the box I carry now

My first thoughts this looks like a London park lake.
Maybe Clapham Common...Mitcham...Richmond park.?

Good old TK.
just wait till I get my picture posting sorted then you will all be guessing for decades to come.

You can't just post pictures of your aunt Florrie

Bushey Park?

Not that one either Mullarkey........that's another one 'crossed off the list'

and floats just a few yards away from yours............even closer if you'd just had a bite............crossed lines, that brings back a few memories too

You referring to the kidney pond a dew years ago when I drew 2 and you was on 3.......your "lighthouse float" kept getting closer and closer to my catching area

your "lighthouse float

That was a 'prototype' that had its first outing that day......

The KP must have been really pulling hard that day

And whilst I'm on..............




believe it or believe it not MrV...........




I actually won a club match last season using one - it played it's part in helping to contribute probably 50% of my weigh that day in the last hour

Victoria park TK??

it looks like Dartmouth Park West Bromwich.....

Not what I've got ChrisV - but just wondering if my details are 'specific enough'.............


and after doing a bit more digging, Mullarkey could be right after all 


Come to that you could be as I dunno what Victoria Park looks like   :D






I'd better come clean - I've just got 'Royal Park Pool' - perhaps you guys could enlighten me  I'm always up for a geography lesson

JS Park, Manchester

serpentine

After all my waffle above, it turns out.........
