Got home at 9.15pm, and had a damn good night's sleep!!!

Really enjoyed myself, I'm good at blanking on these FM trips, but it was nice to meet a few more faces and catch up with my old mate Rik :)

Hope to see you on the next one :)

I have pictures from Cakey as you have seen, and now Peter.

If you have some pictures of the fish-in please PM me and I will give you my email or mobile.

Thanks to the Spillers

Thanks Steve for organising a cracking fish-in. Been dreaming about the upper avon for the last two..... amazing bit of water. Good group of people too...

Thanks for Jeff also for putting two old rum drinkers like me and Dic up for an eve. Just can't wait to Lockett's one in May now, and Dic and I are already underway with some thinking for an autumn one on the Seven.

Big thanks to the Bristol crew :)

You are all welcome again anytime, fingers crossed it aint flooded next time.

I really was chuffed to bits that you got that roach mate;)

My memory cleared this morning and I realised that only 3 of my fish-ins have been flooded, the second one was low and clear :(

I'll get it right one day :D

I can't decide which one I like best so you can choose.

1 is original song with added pictures.
2 is new tune with added pictures, longer picture show.

Brilliant Dave....outstanding job.

The river is spot on!
Whos daft idea was it to do it last weekend???:mad:

I would be fishing tomorrow and the weekend, but last week the locking mechanism on my back door broke and last night the locking mechanism on my front door broke! Both doors are locked, fortunately, I can't open either of them! Luckily we have patio doors on the back and a side entrance, hopefully I can avoid Jakes 'live ammo' at 5am tomorrow morning in the dark.....

So I will miss the BA when it's bang on whilst trying to fix my openings!:(

Stuck on the chuffin M25 somewhere between Heathro
Skippy, I can't belief you walked past that little stone island .......it looked a flyer on the day :wh

I'm sure it would have fished.It was in fact a failed engineering project by Spiller Construction Ltd to secure access to "the grassy knoll". What I want to know is how the gnomes knew that the moat was 5 foot deep !
