Ah, you don't know what you're missing guvnor. I've gorn fishing since I was a schoolboy, used to go to Penton Hook in Staines, or Sunbury, Shepperton, Feltham gravel pits, Hampton Court etc. etc.
When we lived in Los Cristianos, I met Irish Tom the millionaire who made his Monet from plant hire, he used to spend 6 months there o'er the winter. We often had a 'session' with him and his wife Mary. He used to start drinking at 5:00pm every night (did I mention he was Irish)
He taught me how to catch sea fish (new to me) he used something akin to a paternoster rig, but with more hooks!
I've been fishing here in Cornwall, but not for about 17 years, although I've still got the rod etc. I bought in Tenerife.
Don't 'spose I'll ever use it again, not with 2 large dogs to take up my time. (poor excuse!)
I wonder if you enjoy a game of golf, Duncan - I prefer to go for a proper walk, but each to his own.
