Nice pictures Jon..... Hope you catch a fish or three mate

Tight lines!!

 

[Woodlander]

Back home now, was more about the relax than catching anything. Which I could say there was one that got away and it was huge but that would be bull . I never even got a bite. But.... on the way back I did come across a couple of apple trees......

May not be a fish but still not returned empty handed! No Idea what apples they are but definitely eaters and really tasty!

Its coming. Just managed to get a dry day. Friday is meant to be bombing it down with thunder and lightning. Perfect weather to get out I say! Not letting the weather stop play with me, give me the worst you got, been cooped up too long nothing stopping me now lol!

Doesn't matter if you catch or not, you were out doing.
Those apples look like Worcester Pearmain.

Spot on Jon how was the casting and retrieve?

Need a fair weight to get a decent cast and the retrieve a bit of a pain getting caught up in the reeds but its all new so learning as I go

If you go by my fishing they are really effective, for going hungry and catching a cold! Not the worlds best fisherman, too impatient and get bored and distracted too easily

 

[Woodlander]

Back out today with a rod and borrowed reel. Just caught this

Skin him and fry him up in a little salted butter Jon

 

[Ystranc]

I thought the apples looked a bit like "discovery"it's hard to tell for sure.
I usually skin eels and fry them but I don't remember eating one that small. We used to fish for conger eels off old shipwrecks. They were pretty big, big enough to feed the whole family on eel until we were sick of it.
Note to Mark, Woody caught something with a hobo reel, no more excuses.

Catch and release im afraid folks. European eels are on the critically endangered list.
