Dont really care how big it is mate have three more uk fish to catch, catfish zander and barbel and as I,m on a canal that goes in and out of the river Severn recon the other two will be easy enough when I decide to tick them off, the other big cats as good as in the bag lol

Well looks like the rats and moths have left my accommodation alone all surprisingly good, now time to dust off the old classic Bob Morris eurospec classics 

[Greyman 28,441]

And now the important shit, burgers sausages and hot wings plus a couple of cans of meat for the cats along with a pound of liver in the fridge

A little tickle I always do with luncheon meat is to cut in thick slices and fry each side then when cut in cubes you have two hard sides to put the hook through or hair and four sides oozing out flavour

Bit nostalgic for me today walking of Bolberry Down, cliffs I used to climb down using 200 foot of rope to fish.

The Best Ray marks in the country for Blonde Ray, Small Eyed and Spotted Ray.

The nearest point is a mark me and two mates pioneered back in 1980, one hell of a mark for Ray.

This picture taken from the other direction with a ships boiler. Massive prawns in that boiler as you can walk around it on a spring tide.

The middle point is where the British record Blonde Ray comes from. 

The lads in my club used to swim across a gully to get to it. Was known as the "swim mark". Now the keen boys have bolted a ladder to the cliff and a ladder section to cross the gully. its on you tube somewhere.

The mark I used to fish

Cheers Arry

Lost a barbel and another fish that was probably a chub. Both broke off quite quickly after hooking, think they cut off on rocks. Going to try braid instead of nylon perhaps?

Get some decent mono for your  hooklinks(Korda IQ or similar)maybe try using some Tungsten rubber tubing or leadcore above your hooklinks with a bufferbead,stop your mainline taking a pasting from your feeder/lead
