Sorry buddy, I thought you were saying only members should get it Respect

Very appropriate for a pussy, but this post is typical, you try to do a good turn for people then you get grief, reminds me of the quizzes every fckr a genius.

Wrong, it was Rugger the cat, now poor little thing has a contract out on him.

Did it escape your attention that MtDew is not a member before you start slagging us off mate? Spawnicus has been playing on your servers for Donkeys years, ask any WAW player, certainly far far longer than some of the others. Get on the other servers and meet these people, just cos they don't post don't mean nothing.

You're right I was amazed too, like most I normally use wire traces for pike, even perch I use the flexible thin wire (a sod to stop kinking). But the previous session I'd had some great Perch on mono (up to 4lbs) so stuck with it. Like most I have dozens of rods and reels, this time I took a 10' 3 piece float rod and a 9' quiver tip with 1 oz tip for ledgering, caught the Pike on the quiver, both with Shimano 2500 reels, 8lb main line, 5lb traces. I would normally fish size 10 or 12 hook for Perch, but tried the smaller hook as experiment. I only had my small landing net too, everything went against what should be normal. I took my wife fishing on our honeymoon as a 'surprise' holiday to Inverawe fisheries in Scotland, she's never forgiven me.

No, because I WASN'T wearing it lol, just my normal fishing outfit, black fishnet stocking (appropriate), black garters and a pink basque, don't want to look out of place in the park.

Knowing your penchant for worms I'm surprised you don't drink Kopi Luwak ?

I hope Spawny wins it too, he has played with us for years, lovely guy

Try this:- gut and scale them (of course) then deeply score both sides of the fish on the thick part of the backbone. Rub ENGLISH mustard into the scores (yes I know everyone says, but trust me ENGLISH mustard - you won't taste it), cover all over with lemon or lime juice, marinade for 20 minutes. Then panfry in butter on a medium heat for around 2-3 minutes per side. I like mine with a bit of black pepper.

Great catch Wayne, I've just got back, at around the time you posted this I was Perch fishing and landed a 15lb Pike caught on a single worm, size 16 hook and 5lb mono, took me 20 minutes to net it and I had a crowd around me.

Come on now, you know you hate saying Joiseee

How about :- Action not words ?

???? This is to give you the chance to talk proper, don't ignore it.

Thank me later

Wow that's a bit rough even for these forums??
