Truly scrumptious!
Not too long until I will be taking Mr Cherry out for a swim once more.

Awesome Micky, you just need to add some scales from your deadbaits and some of your own blood for true authenticity. :Hat:

Another stunning creation Micky, your artwork evokes so many many memories of decades past.

Excellent. Funnily enough I've just commitioned a pen & ink drawing from a friend's daughter who's a professional artist, just a few hours ago, of a pike. I hope it's as good!

Wonderful Micky, as always.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.
