It was a real pleasure to meet you at the fair Moley, and I maintain my initial assessment that the "Fatty" soubriquet is overstating the reality.Moley wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 9:17 pm Ted that rod you sold me got a test run this afternoon:
Plus ten or so roach to 12oz.
Suffice to say the three experts on the lake packed when they saw a small Fat Bloke catch all their fish in under four hours fishing.
No pies as they had been scoffed at lunch but tea and singing were heartily indulged in, and a six pack of Blue Ribband chocky biscuits were crunched loudly in between slurping the tea
Methinks some take this angling lark a bit seriously.
As ever,....

Anyway, to your last comment, I think that in respect of some of those people to whom you refer it's catching they take too seriously. Angling? I'm not sure some of them know what that is....
Kind regards
