Purplepeanut007 PP007 FLOAT MAKING & FISHING ADVENTURES - THE RIVER IRWELL AND BEYOND.

 Morning all, I have been promising a work colleague Dan that I would take him fishing the last few months. Last night we were both able to finish at a similar time and head off to the lake for an dangle in the sunshine. Unfortunately, due to unforseen circumstances, Dan was unable to start the session with me but promised to meet up around 20.00 at the lake. To save time I told Dan he could use my setup when he arrive to save some time. I had a quite couple of hours to be honest with just three carp and some silvers and was looking forward to talking Dan through the simplist form of pin fishing, (To me anyway) which is fishing down the side on bigger baits. Dan has been around a bit the last few years. The last fish he caught was in Cambodia which was a .........He stole the show on that day catching the biggest fish so I new he had some fishing experiance just not on the pin. Dan eventually rocked up at the venue with a smile on his face and eager to fish. We could not have asked...

  Hi all....... I have been extremely busy at work the last few months and lost my fishing mojo for a while.  😔😔😔😔😔😔 A friend of mine whom I have fished with only once overheard me in the pub talking of my love for fishing the pin for grayling and chub in our northern rivers and how I would love a bob james real to go with my Acolyte. " I have one you can have mike.....I never use it" said Ronnie.  I said "Cheers mate, that would be great"  not really thinking much of it !!!!!!! A week later later I got a call of another pal, Mumfy telling me Ronnie is on holiday but he has a reel for me. Not expecting much I went to pick it up off  Mr Mumf. "Look at what a Ronnie has kindly given me......I think a bunch of floats is in order for this beauty !!!!!! This is a pic of the time Ronnie &  I fished together. Unfortunately no pic of Ronnie here but Mumfy is behind me. We where at Moss Farm Fisheries. Here's the bog link to the day. https://purplepean...
