Thought I'd give this a go for the craic. Just doing a few locks and bridges in town. Getting plenty of crap, and an odd interesting find. Really enjoying it, to be honest.

My little magnet ain't strong enough to lift bikes, but someone else's is.

I'd imagine in popular fishing places you'd get a load of spinners

Got plenty of hooks, and a strange looking lure, that I've never seen before. I must put it up. Someone might have some info on it. 

I try stay well away from anyone doing a bit of fishing. I'm sure they'd be delighted seeing someone pegging in a big magnet beside them

That's a pretty unusual lure,  and names stamped on it? .... cool

My brother in law actually bought it for me. I went out with him a few times with his, and one day he just handed me a brand new one in the box. It's actually very good for the size. Think it's this one

The lad that pulled out the bike, had two magnets. The one he was using had 1000lb pull, and he said he had a 1500lb one in his car. He also uses a grapple to help get out big stuff.

Girl in Bala used to do it, ended up with part of the town evacuated when she brought home some sort of explosive device, took ages for army bomb disposal to come out to deal with it, made her a bit unpopular at the time!
