Steve says...."

Cakey, seeing as it's for charity I can guest two people on the river Kennet near Reading.

I'm no expert on it and as of yet I've only fished it twice with Graham Elliot, but I know a lot of people will never get the chance to fish the Kennet, so here's their chance.

I don't know what response it will get and I can't offer the same knowledge as Graham, but if it raises a few quid for the charity that will be a bonus.

Ideally it would be a mid-week day late Autmn when the river is carrying a bit of water and has some colour. I will also need to book it in advance in order to purchase the guests day tickets."

to run for 7 days

All monies from auction to go to Norwich & District Diabetes UK Youth Group

Cheers Paul /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif

Barbel, carp, chub, roach, perch etc, all to specimen size.

I fished it twice and fell in love with the river, it really is awesome!

The day is for one or two people and I will try to pass on all of the advice Graham gave to us.

Like I said, I'm no expert on the Kennet, but it is a very worthy charity and any money raised will be fantastic.

Happy bidding.......

Cakey,

"Bid for a days fishing on the river Kennet" would be more appropriate.

"Good luck Cakey"...............What about me?

Mark You're murder! I would have assumed the overall cost of a day for two would be split down the middle? Just to make it fair?

Look forward to hearing from you Graham, I couldn't charge you for a day with me and Jeff after the generosity you showed the both of us /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif

Brummie, what was that film?...........start the bidding at £1,000,000 /forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif

Cheers Grumpy.

When you say split the cost down the middle, should'nt you ask Grumpy first if he minds chucking in £5 towards my day out?

I'm confused /forum/smilies/disappointed_smiley.gif

I suppose it will have to be the two highest bidders?
