River Mersey - Another Challange

River Mersey - Another Challenge.


Just had a mooch near the Warrington Stretch at Woolston. Very interesting.......... I can see a serious campaign going down on that stretch, its lovely.


A decent run of Salmon is now present in the Mersey s I have been lead to believe.


Can not wait to get on it with one of my home made wagglers Andy Barns......lol

Just had a chat with one of my pals. He said the Mersey gets really hard in the winter.........let the games begin......


TTFN

Lathe Made Pike Bobber - First Effort. . . .😊

Image
This is the first float to come off my new mini lathe. Its an old style " Pike Bobber Float " for live and dead baiting. It is a steep learning curve but, at last, I feel I have something to show all of you. 😊 Cork bodied (turned by myself ) with a birch stem. Jay feather inlay with two  satelliting jungle cock feathers. Fluorescent pink paint and a brass eye. This is how it looked fresh off the lathe . . . .

With a little more practise I feel I can get this pattern looking a much better. This is how it looks now. What do you think ? 😊 Any constructive criticism is always welcome. Until the next time . . .   TTFN . . . . Peanut. If you would like to look at all of the hand crafted floats I make p...
