I woke up to a smoke alarm at home and thought that I had a run!

In bed one morning (mid 80's) the digital alarm clock burst into life, I spun round to grab the non existent rod grabbed the wife, she screamed (very loud) frightened the f****** life out of me

I keep asking the missus if we can have the bedroom door letterbox style just in case 😂

Due to Covid-19 and my business being closed (i own a pub in Belgium) i'm fishing an average of at least 3 nights a week for the last 2 months.
Last friday the family and i were all watching tele and i was starting to doze off when one of my daughters got a message on her phone with a bleeping sound!
Suddenly i jumped out of the sofa shouting "we're in!!!" looking for my rods and leaving the rest of my family in tears!

It was mid winter and the mrs purchased some bird food seed on the weekly shop.

I stood at the back door and catapulted a few pouch fulls on to the back lawn.

Cant remember what water I was fishing, but the starlings were v good imitators..they were known as Delkim birds.
Used to have the Delk on full warble as my ring tone. It went off once when I was in Leslies... the looks I got were priceless.. Needless to say I saw the error of my ways and changed it... To A Neville...

You know when you have been fishing too much when you stop constantly thinking about buying more fishing tackle.

I did the same thing the other night about five times except the bleep was my smoke alarm battery going flat.
