Crazy eh?

Hardcore, you know the score

First ever carp angler I came across was fishing a very large expanse of water at the time. Thought he was a tramp at first, his bivvy was a sheet of tarpaulin tied to a fence, we **** ourselves when he crawled out

Nothing but respect from a fishing perspective for those who were in at the start, pioneers of this fantastic pastime

Remember seeing my first large landing net WTF - shark

Haha! Yeah i had my first proper carp landing net made, one of the blokes i worked with, who themselves were very hardcore. I could definitely write a book about my time with those two, anyway, one of them got my net made. He brought it into work, and i started laughing when i saw it. I wasn't laughing when he told me how much i owed the bloke though!

Both pics look familiar, especially the bottom one

Is the top one 'Regans' in the North Bay?

Don't know the lower one. Don't think it's Savs.

Neither are Savay, all my Savay pictures are 30 odd years old!

As is the one below (30 y.o)...Can you name it...or perhaps Yavas or Skear? That's Speedy Bill in the pic by the way.
