Stafford isaac Walton - Hoo Mill today

#1

Had a little wander down today on this picturesque section of cut

The canal cracks were certainly having a few

Fish everywhere

This was a nice lacky stretcher - a kinver tiger on the chop down the track

This crack was having a few too

Swinging in another couple of ouncer

You dont see many of these on the towpath these days - the Futron that is

Just after this picture a pike had a strike at a couple of ounce roach hooked across

#2

ps - look forward to the result - the cut was certainly coughing up loads of fish

i never saw you mate wish you had introduced yourself mate hope i didn't ignore you

Nope course you daint Murfin - tried not to 'disturb' anyone

, especially with the missus in tow. On the contrary, had a pleasant chat with a quite a few of the guys below the lock as they were having a few

I'd originally pulled up at the Fruit farm and had to ring and check with Bill Yards whether I got the wrong date

- I've only fished that 'immediate section' by the farm with our club before and couldnt see anyone in sight........Bill rang me back and said you were round past that first bridge with a fair few above the lock.

Never got to see Bill Yards after all - walked the lower section and went a few pegs above the lock but JK needed a call of nature............too much coffee before we left...........so it was back to the FF

Yes I can confirm the phone call. like every crappity smack else that mobiles me I get about three rings then they crappity smack off. They must think I am made of crappity smack money all the phone calls I return

Anyway as I recognized the number I rang back, - "Where yam yer" said. I told him.

Now up to this point I was getting a crappity smack bite every put in on caster, - not big fish but skimmers of 3/4 oz and roach. The match was about half way through.
Finished the phone call and out went a few more casters and hemp followed by my pole rig. For the first time me float never budged, I thought the caster had come off but it dain't. Anyway I put another new shing red one on and no crappity smack bite again. This went on till the end of the match, I had 8 lb 2oz and was last in the section.

Don't ever talk to me about jinxes again. One phone call from this guy and that was it, the biggest

I have ever come across.

Serves me crappity smack right for ringing back

#16

I have Joffie

Bill it's deffo your phone - just left you a message in case you thought I was doing the three ring routine again

joffmiester · #17

the reason bill stopped catching was his ring tone was on full volume and vibrate and that's enough to scare anyone even the bloke next door thought it was his car alarm
