        @Giles:

        That's what I keep telling Paula, she won't listen.  So, I put this outside the room this morning…..(I don't think she's seen it yet)......That'll hold a few rods  😉 😉

        Mmm… despite the fact that I walk past it every time I do some laundry... ::)

        @steelworker:

        or a body… ???

        Anyone wanna hazard a guess at whose body might well end up in it…?  😉

          All that pent up anger and frustration the last couple of months.
          Those poor unsuspecting fish have no idea what's coming their way on Wed 🙂

                First day Bassing this morning.  Car parks still closed all along the front, so I could not fish in my favoured spot.

                Of course I blanked, but a lovely way to start the day…..

                    I went Bass (Sea) fishing this morning with Alex.  We caught nothing….....

                    Just sent this by one of my fishing buddies from Kentucky......Last Friday...

                    He needs to get his arse over here and show us how to do it....Oh wait, he was due to be with us two weeks ago....

                          I've lived here for about 15 years, yesterday was the first time I have started to explore the many creeks we have…I'm thinking that there may be some excellent Bass fishing in them in the coming weeks.

                          Today, I am off for an early morning Tope (type of shark) session from the beach about 20 miles away…

                            Good luck G. Use google earth to find more fishing spots. It’s the best for finishing structure and seeing where fish could be.

                              Gotta be some fish hanging out by what looks to be an old dock?

                              Teaching my 11yo to fly fish. Getting him started on a Tenkara rod. I’m getting addicted to it’s simplicity. I believe Tenkara originated in Japan.
                              Landed his first fish today. Tossed him back in hopes of catching him a little bigger.

                                Nice little largie on a wooly bugger. I think that was my first fly fishing catch as well. Well done dude

                                  @Matty123 Wooly Bugger is hard to beat when nothing is happening on the surface. He was so excited. Made my day.

                                      Restocks are the best. I’ve a few packages in the mail System right now. I lost a big one the other night and it was my fault Slot size for stripers here is 28”-35” I broke a cardinal rule and tightened the drag on a fish that was over a slot size…. pulled the hook. It’s kept me up for two nights straight.

                                      Maybe so. Maybe not
