Any poms remember this show? Just the best I reckon no fishing show has ever matched it.

Gudgeon haha yeah they are treated like sprats too as livies for pike and perch. They are dumb as fish I could catch 20-30lb nets of them at a local canal, aptly named the "gudgeon cut".

Fantastic program.

I used to fish close season, yeah there you go said it  Was he on a river? Thought lakes and canals open all year now.

Yeah I enjoyed coarse fishing growing up wouldn't swap for what I have now though but I think it is still awesome. You ever fish Bewdley much? Or the carp fisheries like Zion farm?

Yeah Netherton near Dudley JW I never got as far as Walsall haha! Pershore was an interesting spot we fished dead bleak for Zander at night my uncle landed a 15lber there a couple of pound shy of the record at the time and used to catch half a dozen a night. We would keep and eat them too. Bewdley is amazing on the deep stretch south of the town fishing with my same uncle he once hooked a big salmon there no kidding was an unreal hook up charged upstream and busted him. And the shallow gravel beds upstream of the town for the barbel. Went back last year new record barbel is 21 pound from that stretch.
