Bend It Like Becks Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 whilst trying to educate my lads in the art of spinning for pike one of them continually got the plug/spinner in the reeds at the edge of the river bank due to not lifting his rod up at the last few winds. I must have got him free 8 or 10 times, i was starting to get a bit pissed off with him not taking a blind bit of notice to what i was trying to teach him. He reeled in and did it again and whilst i balanced procariously (sp) on a mat of reeds trying to unhook his snagged lure and complaining about his memory span being similar to that of a goldfish, my foot went thru the mat of reeds and sent me toppling over sideways on into the river. You should've seen their faces when i got out. I have never seen anyone try that hard not to piss em selves laughing. I was absolutely gutted as i'd just rolled a nice single skin beanie and i'm afraid i had only just lit the fucker an all. This ended our excursion rather abruptly and we had to walk back to the car past two anglers en route who also had a right good laugh at my expense. 'kin kids still rip the piss now.

Punky Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 nice one owderb i aint really got any amusing stories, apart from chucking some kid in the canal to get my reel he managed to kick in when harassing me. he kept asking me to show him inside my keepnet whilst i was playing a fish, runs forward to see wot i was doing and kicks my spare reel into the canal. played the fish in (1.5lb roach btw ), unhooked and put it in my keepnet, then stood up, picked him up and chucked the little fucker in the canal and pointed a sharp bankstick at him until he managed to fish out my reel (excuse the pun). not too thrilling, but funny as fuck seeing his face mid-chuck into the canal punky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owderb Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 If I was to class myself into one category it would be a bream open match angler.Ive been match fishing for years and love fishing for skimmers or slabs. Anyway not far from us is a big country lake that you can buy a day ticket for.We were told that there were big bream in there but hardly any 10lb bream come out.Plenty of big carp,tench,and perch come out but not bream. "7,8,9lbers,Ive had but not a ten in 4 years of fishing this place" I was told by a local.I'd always wanted a big un but on my very first visit got my fish which was weighed by a nearby bivvie basher.They couldnt believe it and neither could I. I was as high as a kite for a couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
