  1. They stopped importing them because the power had to be reduced to comply with UK regs.The pellet for the ft'lbers was the Dae sung,the career 707 turns up often enough on BBS.Fish are in Durham Rex,got a mate who had a couple a few days ago.
  2. I had a very nice Career 707,great gun,very pointable,liked it a million times better than my AA s410,I think the pellet your refering to is the Dae Sung,made for shooting at high FT'Lbs.
  3. If I had a quid for every time I heard "The cheques in the post" I would be as rich as croesus
  4. i just love reading your posts , you are obviously a man who likes to do his r&r . i think you should leave £2.95 , im sure thats what he said £2.95?Could have been I suppose,he did have a nasal"I used to go to Eton" type twang,thats a LOT better than what I thought he said,wow,I can afford to invite a couple of mates onto the water for that price You have to do your research mate,always good to know the home ground of the other team,know how they play etc,besides,if someone things your going to pay them £295 for a days fishing its easy to milk them for info,surprised he didn

    My new toy!!!!

    I guess we must all have been good lads,we are all getting new-toys lately
  6. I didnt quite catch the bag limit Maty,sounded like 4 but could just as easily have been 40 or even 400 I will just have to find out when I get on the venue,if theres anyone around at 2am I will ask
  7. I have visited and fished on a few VERY expensive chalk-streams Neil,never quite at the £295 ceiling however,but there are two of us fishing it,that leaves no change almost out of £600 Slightly steep mate Your right though,such waters are always top class venues to fish,well manicured banks etc,perfect for entering the waters to wade,a credit to their riparian owners,but I have never ONCE blanked at such a place I have just gone through my small-change jar and rifled through the kids piggy-banks,I think I have just enough for a session,I will tell you the results at a later date
  8. As soon as they heard my accent I wouldnt fit in,I think the guyonthe other end of the line realised that,I wonder if he would pay me £295 NOT to fish it
  9. Your right mate,those fish MUST be gold plated at that price I was flabbergasted,I was lost for words mate,I just couldnt work out how a wander down the banks with rod in hand could cost £295,for that I would expect to take home every fish on a 2 mile stretch
  10. I am not exactly a dry-fly purist,I have been known to dabble in other methods now and again,baits,spinners etc,but I just rang up a chalk-stream fishery in Hampshire,dry-fly only,very well spoken guy,surprised it wasnt a premium-rate line and cost me a tenner just to chat with him £295 a DAY?F***ing hell,I could buy a beat for that,how do they justify that price?Thats a bigger p**s-take than fishing at night and leaving a quid surely,at least I will have the decency to wear a mask when I fish the place,they rob people bare-faced
  11. I get on absolutely f*****g fantastic with my mother-in-law,she is 11,000 km away,great
  12. I enjoyed that fish,almost felt as if I was there,what sort of equipment did you use to film and how did you generate the titles?
  13. Smack-heads?Better not move to Blyth then,it used to be renown for the number of methadone addicts who OD'd
  14. Its true,he didnt even have the sense to be discrete about it,he watches it float away
  15. I hope theres no more fake "Staged" "trout-tickling"?Fish floats off downstream after being supposedly tickled from under a bank and handled for a few seconds............
  16. Whats he covered in this one that he hasnt in poachers 1+2 Rab?
  17. Bass that far north?There was none up there when I was a kid,good luck this week
  18. I am glad you said her estates are part of OUR heritage Foxy,I am off to Windsor later this week
  19. You could always move up there BRB,Blyth was always cheap for housing
  20. The Wansbeck comes out at Cambois,never fished the river so I dont know if owt runs up it,whats it fish for ranger?
  21. I just spotted the wind turbine in the distance
  22. I used to visit the forensic labs in Lambeth often in the early 90's,fascinating place,and even back then they had an impressive balistics dept
