I've put it all behind me for a few hours. Steels, Chopedents, Is my technique right or wrong ?, amps, effects the lot. Her indoors, everything, and I've gone FISHING. 
That's it, that's all I wanted to say.
It's a gorgeous evening here in Cheshire, England, so cobblers to everyone.
Heh Heh

out here, a yellow rod is the sign of a newbie.
I need to hit the rivers again soon...gas prices are a bit discouraging tho...and the lack of fish in the rivers. driving an hour to get skunked ona repeated basis kinda kills the joy. tight lines tho to you! |

Hey Allen
Call those fish !!!!!
We use fish that size for live bait down here in England 
Here's a picture of me trying to land an average English specimen.
We also use banjo players as live bait !!!!
Barry.
PS I never caught a thing  |

I'm trying to look dorky. That's my story and I'm sticking to it:
This was taken August 4th, 2007 about 3 hours before a road gig (hence, the burned out demeanour). I had gone for a "flick" after soundcheck to kill some time just outside this small rural town, and around dusk......bang! This beast came up after a size 8 Thunder and Lightning:
My buddy happened to live in the town we were playing, and he took this pic and BBQ'ed the salmon the next evening, as I was scheduled to play more shows and didn't wanna be carting around a salmon with my gear.
All the boys were getting showered in the hotel room for the gig and here I was with a dead 6-pound salmon dripping blood all over the bathroom. I played the gig with scales all over my arms. It was a memorable day. I am going after the "king of the gamefish" again in a few weeks, and can't wait.

Maybe this is the time to go back to the bar for a stiff one.
Hi Chris
We toured Ireland a few months back and me and the sound guy, on the way down to Limerick, spent a few happy hours on a superb river and landed a few fish.
We worked that evening smelling of fish.
After the show we do a meet and greet in the foyer of the theatre and the audience seemed to give me a bit of a wide berth.
I can't think why ???
A great day though.

Ken, it's hard to break old habits. When they couldn't catch me they decided to give me a job.
Paddy, the red deer population is good over here. On the estate where I work it is mostly roe deer.
Ben, yes they are Atlantic salmon.
Barry, That's not the catch, just a couple of sticklebacks for the cat.
Regarding the tie, when we have fishing guests at the castle we have to wear one ( part of the job ) |
