not sure if i can do the 15th.... it's possible but i'll have to see..... probably know by this time next week

robh107 · robh107 on Wed Nov 04, 2009 5:55 pm

does the west street section cost anything to fish??

MAD BAD ANGLER · MAD BAD ANGLER on Wed Nov 04, 2009 7:05 pm

£3 a day or £10 a year, mind you in the last 20 years i have only been asked for my licence once Question

glad you caught adie, i always fish the "thorne" side casting to the boats. my best fish from the canal was from here while i was fishing with mr webster (he blanked if i remember correctly lol!

)

I remember it well MBA. If I'm not mistaken, you're avatar is of the said fish.

I usually go on the other side of the bridge somewhere between the bridge and Barnby Dun.

Only been to that section of the canal once.

That was lure fishing.

Blanked Crying or Very sad

lmao well i've never fished there and i've had 2 trips out after the pike in the last couple of months and blanked both times so if i make it then it will be interesting..... and if thats the kinda fish that comes out then i'm even more revved up to come and have a go down there Very Happy

MAD BAD ANGLER · MAD BAD ANGLER on Thu Nov 05, 2009 12:46 pm

yes andy thats the fish i was on about, mind you i would not have turned my nose up at that perch you had on the lure, that was a real dog perch Shocked

bye the way the fish weighed 19lb4oz, and as you can see it had no belly, in feb/march i'm sure it would have been around 24lb, it had the length.

robh107 · robh107 on Thu Nov 05, 2009 9:31 pm

to be honest MBA i always assumed it was a twenty.... i'm surprised that it weighed even an ounce under!! i agree it certainly looks like it has the length Very Happy

You & Lefty aren't doing a very good job of "selling" this outing to the rest of us, Andy...

lol!

adie1200 · adie1200 on Fri Nov 06, 2009 6:28 pm

No guarantees in this game Bazz. I have always struggled on here, but I have seen others catch nice fish. One day my time will come.

robh107 · robh107 on Fri Nov 06, 2009 10:50 pm

well i have no problem fishing a more difficult venue as long as some of us catch fish.... even if its not me that catches!!!
just a point but what about inviting duane since he is in bad need of advice.... i mean i realise he'd probably have a bit of a drive to get there but the advice we could give if we were all face to face with him could be invaluable in helping him catch his first few pike

Andy Webster · Andy Webster on Fri Nov 06, 2009 10:54 pm

Duane is more than welcome and so is everyone else

The more the merrier
