There be Monsters, there be......nearly pulled the rod in.

Tackle Ryan Burns made Harvey Torbut, Trudex 2, 4lb Maxima, Punch'n'Pellet, rolled bullet. It all seems to work well for Fatty. :Hat:

The venue this time being the river Blackwater.

Much tea slurped and pies distributed to the needy......Fat Mole, who else. Although the Ancient Mariner, having perfected the starving dog stare familiar to all pet owners, did manage to con a pie from a very generous benefactor! :surrender:

As ever,.......

Moley
Say aye tae'a pie!

An iridescent treasure, well angled Moley!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
