Hi bud, ya not wrong was starving so it had to happen..😂 It smelt of alcohol where it had fermented. Things we do for fishing huh..🥴 Good to chat again bud..😊👍
As Smiffy says, hope you’re feeling better, or get there very soon, and I’m glad you’ve still been up to editing and publishing 👍 I don’t think there’s anything else quite like this on TH-cam and I always find your vids interesting and chilled viewing. Funny at times too of course 😂 You’ll have seen I used your paste around the bomb trick to good effect on the Trent earlier this year and there’s still one of those Collingham vids up my sleeve. Keep ‘em coming 👍🕶️
Much improved thanks mate but the symptoms are gonna stay with me for a while i think.🥴 What lovely words, it's true when you say in ya vids that the comments are some of the most enjoyable things, comments like this make everything worth wild. We're both so lucky to have such a great community of people, enjoying "maybe" 🤔😂 Reminiscing definitely..! And maybe even learning the odd tip here and there.🙏 Collingham, lovely, looking forward to that one John.. Same to you by the way, keep um coming please..🤞😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s
Hello me old mucker, you'll come up trumps real soon mate , persistence pays off , totally get that being in pain and trying to relax while fishing isn't a great combination 🤦🏽, fingers crossed and praying to Poseidon for ya ✌🏽
Hi Jay thanks for that bud. Would of loved to of landed that fish even if it was another smelly Bream..😂 Backpain and all that comes with it is a real beep beep in'it..! Felt like it was the right thing to do to show it for what it is, we're both realists.. It's like a little Devil sitting on ya shoulder ready to pounce at any time..🥴🥴 We'll have to catch up soon co's I'm missing our little chats mate..😊👍
Hi buddy, it's lovely on hot days, keeps ya blood cool but in the winter i use a Shorty Wetsuit, normal Trousers and the Neoprene Sockfoot Waiders. Did a winter test vid last January? Winter harbour fishing 6c air and 5c water, did 4hrs solid, could of stayed longer really. Here's the TH-cam link to the first part if ya interested. th-cam.com/video/gJngS6ooAjA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VklNzNcMzAIKlXgd Thanks for the comment it's much appreciated bud..😊👍
Hi there, thanks for the great question..👍 I can only advise you on the free stretches I'm afraid. Quick question, will you be fishing from the river bank or boat co's a Dinghy / Boat would give you a much better chance for Cats. There few and far between nowadays, mainly in and around the Wiers. From the bankside I'd suggest Birchwood Meadow at the Russell Rd / Walton Ln mini roundabout swim shown in my Kingslawn + one vid Shepperton TW17 8JJ. Vid link th-cam.com/video/zoBEB7YHLDw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Zgd6Mc-H-ma7QVC6 cast where i explain in the video just downstream on the left hand side. There's also Rivermead Car Park Sunbury Ct Sunbury-on-Thames TW16 Video Link th-cam.com/video/eADW8EBw8kE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ov8fdb3NLT8kiwyX same again casting downstream just to the left of you (shown in the vid i think).? For me personally I'd camp at Apps Court Farm, Hurst Rd, Walton-on-Thames KT12 2EG the access is amazing when the top field isn't too wet. More limited Camping dates now though. Vid link th-cam.com/video/Zhf0gYGVGn0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sf51358J9JdNVRGG second swim downstream shown in the vid around 3 rod lengths out.. Very early in my TH-cam days so not the best quality vid but great info on everything..! From a boat I'd say Shepperton Wier Thames St, Weybridge KT13 8LR Video link th-cam.com/video/pTzlA20rp20/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Y_Bl5w6Cmqdl5Nf5 it shows a deep hole in the Wier to access. Also north bank just bellow Hampton Court Bridge opposite Cigarette Island Vid link th-cam.com/video/EwRHNhF2QvA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V8rA3P6tfrjSljSs Just in case you haven't seen them here's some links to my free fishing parking access and bellyboat fishing fun playlists on the Thames for more in depth info and inspiration if needed.

@catmagicbaits absolute pleasure and good luck on your quest..🤞🙏 Please let me know how you get on sometime..👍Probably better than me at the moment when it comes to my personal challenge of a specimen from a free stretch..😂😊👍
Howdo Phil, hope you're getting better! ( health that is, not fishing). Great video once more, losing a fish, it's like falling in to barrel full of tits & coming out sucking your thumb😢. Keep at it mate, hoping to do some myself tomorrow see if the perch are up for it, getting stir crazy & itching for a bend in the rod. All the best.
Lol..😂 Love that..! Feeling a bit better now thanks but I'm gonna be stuck with some lingering symptoms i think "not loosing me fish" but the Lurgy..😊 Perch fishing, nice, nearly fell off mine when i lost that fish..😂 Take care and i hope things go swimmingly for you with the Knee sarga my friend.🤞😊👍
🤣🤣🤣, 2 parrots sat on a perch, 1 says to the other, " can you smell fish?" Classic! The knee saga, I could write a book. It's been delayed due to me having sleep apnea. More tests🙄 I was fine till I had 2 covid jabs. You've had this lurgy far too long mate. You've got to keep above it all & keep smiling though eh? 2 goldfish in a tank, 1 says to the other " are you sure you can drive this?" Take care mate.
I can't wait to meet you Smiffy, two peas in a pod i recon..! Parrots Perch Tanks, it's got the lot..😂😂 Cheered me up no end mate.. Gutted about the delay, Sleep Apneas a real "BEEEP BEEEP" Recon we should go 50-50 co's i'm a full on Insomniac, 5hrs total in 3 sittings last couple of days.. Look like something out of the Walking Dead series..🥴😊
Awesome video pal! 👏👏
