The two have been friends for over 30 years however Bob said when they come to fish together he knows he does get on Pauls nerves
and cant explain why he suddenly turns into a toddler he said maybe because he never had a Father figure as his dad died when he was 7 ?
and said its like I turn into a toddler and see Paul as a father telling him what to do he said why I even blooming need help standing up half the time I just go to pieces lol

Absolutely love this program, fishing for enjoyment only, how it should be. I thought Paul mentioned fishing for pike in the summer though, I could be wrong but for me Piking is a winter sport only.

Not at all,so long as you don't fish for them when spawning which I think is normally around April time.I know a few lakes do have a pike season which tends to be later in the year

Paul was Pike fishing near the end of the episode from a boat (Looked late summer?) a Jack on the fly - great fun

He could have gone over just trying to stand up as we know!
Not trying to pick holes in it, I'm sure they were surrounded by support boats and other people, just a bit of an oversight along with the unhooking mat imo.

still loving this show
not trying to big themselves up / sell me anything / get one over on some other angler or company.
great mates linked by overcoming some very serious health issues and of course, similar careers.
of course Bob is daft - that's part of the show. and part of his persona too.
given the choice of 'angling' tv presenters, i know who i'd most like to fish with...

I'm almost certain that I had the blue rod that Bob got out of the car at the start of the episode! My first rod I believe!

Yes I remember them. Just goes to show, it's not the rod that catches the fish.

I havenst started the latest series yet, but think it needs remembering there is a serious reason why Bob started fishing with Paul in the beginning . They had both had heart surgery and Paul in particular struggled with the life changes needed and recuperation and became quite depressed. I believe it was Pauls idea to introduce him to fishing to get him out of the house and help improve his mental health. As much as Bob plays the fool, the episode where he visited his childhood home was very moving and some of the conversations thru the different series are quite profound .... Its far more than just a fishing show imo.

Absolutely
The episode with the heart surgeon in it was quite brilliant
A reminder that for a lot of us, fishing isn't about 'whackers' and trophy shots.

Couldn't agree more. However never ask Bob to net a fish for you. Disaster written all over it.

I only started watching this after reading this thread and seeing it was on iPlayer, thanks whoever mentioned that. I downloaded a few and watched some down the lake last weekend and a few more this. One of my favourite fishing programmes already and thoroughly enjoyable, I smiled throughout. Can't wait to watch the rest.
They remind me of my Dad and his friend, 2 mates occasionally catching something and having a proper laugh while fishing, just how it should be.
