Round of applause Neil?Wait around a while for the encore Sadly your comprehension is the same as your sense of humour,even I can see the part where I mentioned we had permission -

F***ing-hell best describes last night!We arrive at a Venue,havent been there before,but decide to check it out anyway Farmhouse was packed with people,loads of vehicles on the drive-way and parked in the court-yard,and I mean LOTS of cars,normally thats not a problem,the lakes 150 yards from the buildings,thats fine BUT theres a spotlight,a bright spotlight,a bit like the police-helicopter dragonlight mounted hight up on a farmhouse wall,and pointing directly at the trout-pond Even as we walked around the waters edge to scope things out we were bathed in light,silhouetted and casting long -
Heres one though mate...................... http://shelikesherfood.wordpress.com/2007/...rout-fishcakes/

Get yourself into Harrods food-hall Maty,I think they are about £9 a kilo for rainbow-trout Far too expensive a food for my plebian palate,if I didnt have extensive fishing permissions my kids wouldnt know the taste of a nice trout-fillet I will get you a recipe for Thai fish-cakes when I am talking to her again,maybe in a few months

Childhoods the besr days of our lives mate,we get up to funny things,learn who and what we are,its like a caterpillars change into a butterfly I never had an X-box or i-pod,my toys were a folding .410,lurcher,and a 100 yard gill-net Happy days huh? We were out last night,the old heart was racing as I lay with my face pressed into the grass 20 yards from a guy who was looking for us with what seemed to be the most powerfull lamp in the world I will write a bit later when JOE downloads the photos
-
Probably,though the whole area is quarry-rich to be honest
-
I live right next to windsor
-
Dont laugh at him FB,it f***ing encourages the guy,all he ever does is take the piss out of me
-
You should get yourself down to visit him hpool,loads of stuff around Slough,Burnham beeches has loads of Munties etc
-
Much better,a man after my own heart you philanthropist you

-
Permission?Have you turned gay
-
Makes a change from me looking the fu**ing muppet then doesnt it kermit?I am sure we can catch the odd one or two Lend me your digital mask please matey,my sweater-arm is gunked up to f**k with fish slime
-
I told you about that didnt I joe? Gambia is worse though,and Tunisia,they think all middle-aged western women are sex-tourists,theres loads of horror stories of women old enough to know better marrying guys young enough to be their grand-sons then getting dumped once the guys have a UK visa
-
Thats assuming we get any fish MATY
-
Your all heart you JOE,you are the secret trout-benefactor to the old folks down at the home arent you Does he want 20?My sis wants some,getting my stuff ready now,bring a camera,mines gone up the swanee thats the bad news Good news is she still aint talking to me
-
One thing though comanche,your obviously an incredible judge of character,that "Air of innocence" is me to a T
-
I am sure you mean the theme tune to "The Bill" comanche I wouldnt be accosted at 2am by plod comanche because from past experience most of them suffer from accute Nyctohylophobia and wouldnt go anywhere dimly-lit unless mob-handed Just like a curious child theres things we all have to find out and research for ourselves right Catch you guys later,getting my fly-kit ready,going out in less than an hour,trout only,esox is safe for another night
-
I saw some incredible chinese guys snatching Mullet in victoria harbour,they were the same,must have been at it for years,I lashed the water to bits and only had a few fish to show,they were bagging-up and p**sing themselves at my efforts,its good to see an expert at work Gives us something to aspire to

http://www.capetrout.co.za/recipes.htm http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes/trout I love trout to be honest,I have it 3 or four times a week,got over a hundred Thai fish-cakes in the freezer,take a few out,fry them,great with chillie-dips as a quick meal
-
Thanks for that Comanche,I am sure the residents along the stretch of the grand-union canal I have earmarked for the experiment will be most pleased to be woken at 2am with the sound of a rifle shot I think your dads book is right though,pike are easily snared,I just need to try it to see for myself,its one of those things
-
Ninja-cat,arch enemy of Hong Kong Phooey
-
Pike along a canal are easy mate,they skulk in the edges of the beam and are static,apparently it was a common method in Norfolk,if the "Ohhhh-Arrrrrrrr's" can do it I am sure I can Might take a few tries,but I am certain its just a question of technique and practice,just like snaring a gecko from a wall with a monofilament snare and a slim bamboo whip
-
Poking a few old trout Maty,shame on you Snaring a lamped pike will be easy,ever lamped them?I have done it loads of times,even thrown a cast-net over them at times,snaring one wont be difficult Its not going to be wasted,its for the old guys dinner,wonder if it tastes the same as it did way back then
-
Its along the same sort of theme mate,I think its just regional variations isnt it?I have just been reading Johnny Kingdoms autobiography,theres a decent factual bit in there on gaffing salmon,you can tell he has done it,theres a part in where his bag bursts and the fish go everywhere,I wonder if that reminds Joe of anyone I have seen loads of weird methods Steve,cyanide-fishing,cast-nets,harpoon-guns most of them havent got a place in the UK,but I am certain theres one or two inventive folk out there who have done something different My own grandfather used to use a magneto to stun fish,
