Birmingham Anglers Association

GUR... Went last Thursday [18th] I don't specifically fish for the carp these days, though I have had god knows how many out of there over the last few years, but had one rod out for carp or whatever swims past, and one float rod to keep me awake. Fished the car park bank and had dozens of small perch, which was quite unusual, to the point where they were a pest, and a few small roach. Three nice perch came early on, the best probably near 2lb and a decent skimmer but after that all tiddlers. I can't quite explain it but I feel it has changed there, different atmosphere and the catch has changed so I don't go so often these days.

Just to change the subject, a bloke and his mates came about 4 o'clock and he never stopped yakking until I left about 7 o'clock, effing this and that three times every sentence, a right loud mouth and pain in the arse. Have a chat with your mates but have a bit of respect for anyone else, tone it down a bit, some of us go for a peaceful day not an ear bashing. Perhaps that's why I prefer the rivers. That's that off my chest .

PS only caught on the float rod.
