I called at the Nidd on Sunday to have a natter with my old mucca Cabbo who had text to say he'd found a nice Chub swim  It did look very nice and he'd obviously gone to a lot of trouble to find it. He ran the float through a few times with various secret baits on and as we caught up on life in general the float disappeared  A swift response and it was on  The rod arched over and it looked a good fish. I whipped my phone out readty to get an action shot and as I poised to take the shot the rod arched even more as the fish headed for a snag  Alas, it found the snag and the line and fish were no longer connected .................... the air was blue and Andy was not a happy bunny  Well. I've not been able to sleep thinking about his sad loss so when I got a spare hour after a hectic day today I thought I would try and settle the score for him His footprints were still fresh in the peg so I cast in where he had lost it, Would you believe it first cast and I got it ........................ I bet he will be over the moon   |

Ya not coming carping with me again this year pal not showing you my secret swims again,,, Jimmy . . I've already got a standing order in at the chippy in Otley for twice wi scraps on a Tuesday lunchtime starting first Tuesday after closed season. I'll find your pegs easy . . . Just look for the beer cans and the aerial lead for the tele Geoff, the minute Cabbo loses another big fish I'll be straight on the blower mate and we will go catch it . . . He's better than a fish finder |
