The man was so far ahead of his time and before the Internet.
I was lucky enough to visit him at home and use his bait for many years.

RIP Fred

You really always have to read the policy.
I used LV.
Alot of home insurance only cover a garage or shed/outbuildings for up to £2000.
Even if it's an integrated garage.

Some other things they can do you a favour.
I have numerous stories about the carp turning up and spooking the coots or tuffties.
Also how times have diving gulls put me onto feeding carp.

But then I'm hardly ever able to use a throwing stick these days.

We have to evolve and solve every problem we encounter.

Don't think it's got any worse.
Over the years since I started carp fishing in the mid 80s.
I have had swans trying to stir up the bait, tuffties diving on me in 30 ft of water, mallards diving on me to 6ft. Etc etc etc.
They are wild animal and they want food.
You just have to consider the wildlife goings on every year.
I have to admit it can drive you to pull your hair out.

Book 5 is one of my favourite books ever.
Can't explain why but it was one of a few books that used to travel to work with me.

CP what a star.
Will miss our cups of tea at the lake.
RIP old friend

Not sure I would bother with these books if it's the ones done by Rob Maylin.
In principle it's a great idea but some of the books are not that well put together

Watched it last night.
It's brilliant.
