The following men pleaded not guilty to the charges at Guildford Crown Court on Friday (October 21): Shane Crawt, 19, of Old Lodge Lane, Purley Lenny Crawt, 18, of Down Street, West Molesey Charlie Smith, 23, of no fixed abode The men will next appear at Guildford Crown Court for trial on February 4. https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/three-men-deny-murder-fisherman-15183128 Quote Link to post
mackem 26,261 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Had a walk down the river last night, haven't been there in a year and a half, chatted to a polish guy launching his little RIB to fish for Zander just below the weir, last week his biggest Zander was a 7lb'er but he also caught a foot long wels kitten. Also chatted to a local guy who targets barbel, he has had a 20 and a 16 pounder in the last couple of weeks on Garlic sausage. 2 Quote Link to post
mackem 26,261 Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Didn't realise there was so many big barbel 2 minutes from home, met a polish guy last night, caught 80+ barbel on the local stretch of the river last season, he was in a mag for getting a 20lb 9 ounce barbel here,verified on two different sets of scales by a few different witnesses, and he hooked a decent Wels which got off at the bank, showed me loads of fishing pics on his phone, nice guy, barbel addict. 2 Quote Link to post
