The weather held for the soapbox derby, the local ales were lovely as were the food stalls. The Roach deserved a thread of it's own rather than hidden in his wall, a cracker.

Martin's Roach and the Mutt's Nutz
So looks like the bloggers challenge is hotting up, whilst I was on a weekend away watching the annual Brockweir soapbox derby James was sharing some pictures of something monstrous he caught down the river, then Martin phones me to share a capture of this clonking 2lb 13oz Roach.

Now as someone who struggles to get bankside as much as I’d like, got to up my game and get some decent river species banked. Autumn and in to Winter my favourite time though, so plans are in places to get bagging some points again.

Mick what I didn't tell you was, I had it a centre pin. A JW Youngs Heritage.
ReplyDeleteWell it might be hotting-up if that Martin would post his b****y catches ;)
DeleteI think we need to set him a deadline don't you Mick?
Got to keep you all guessing George. It's going to be tight for the places but 1st place is already a cert.
DeleteI've the blinkers on George, plans are in place for a last gasp sprint to the finish, I want to at least do ok in the river leaderboard as get out of this utter mediocrity I'm in at the minute :)
ReplyDeleteYou'll do fine Mick. It's been a dodgy few weeks for everyone locally but things'll pick up.
