Konnie Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 that was more of a experience for me rather than him, will have to let him take me out this season, now he's allowed to wander about alone,think he will show me some new places, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayano3 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Your a brave man. Not heard from him but guess he has renewed. If you do find new hot spots let me know so I know where to send the sea king helicopter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrycatcat1 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Kiffy its time to get to your local pool for adult swim lessons. Even strong swimmers have drowned on marshes and tidal estuaries. Figgy Seems like a catch 22 situation drown if you cant swim and even if you do learn and become a strong swimmer in the next few weeks you still could drown.

kent Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Don't get me wrong here, I should never choose to swim! I hate it and it wrecks my dodgy shoulder so I don't even go with the kids. Many times I have lost my footing fishing and my experience with the rucksack really woke me up to the possibilities. For those that think waders drown you they don't as long as you don't panic, rucksacks have a serious go though ( I will always cross water with it on one shoulder now ready to unship it on a fall). Anyhow there is a problem if your a real good swimmer you die of hypothermia after the fact gosh it was cold that night and was glad of my falling in clothes that I have learned to store in the car after bitter experiences fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Your a brave man. Not heard from him but guess he has renewed. If you do find new hot spots let me know so I know where to send the sea king helicopter. He sent me a PM a day or two ago to say he had got his ticket and was looking forward to buying us all breakfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Best get your breakfasts and leave kiffy on high ground with his dog digging up mice Have fun and stay safe. If your safe the worst is you stay on high ground cut off by tide till next low tide,plenty of contemplation time, take a hip flask. Hope we don't get rain like last year, ruined the season.

Grandalf Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Natural England apologised again - about six times - and sent our licence. Received the paper versions in the post yesterday. Only for one year again but we are back on the marsh for another season. So now I can say with some certainty where I will be at dawn on the 1st. The Blyth Estuary in Suffolk.

Penelope Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Congratulations Grandalf, a weight off your mind. I have shot on the Walberswick shoot a couple of times, but never for duck and seen your estuary; a nice small intimate one. Natural England apologised again - about six times - and sent our licence.

Been past it loads of times, look a decent place to be on .What is the shooting like this time of the year on there ? same as most estuarys I recon . I used to go up Breydon for several years on the first and very rarely was there a duck in the bag , but at that time you could shoot Curlew and 1 or 2 other waders and one year (I can remember as if it was yesterday )me and my brother and two others who are sadly dead now took our punt up there at about 3am to catch the tide and when I rowed round the ronde near the swing bridge a Curlew got up and me brother shot it by having the lights of the railway station behind it .At that time we had a few marshes to shoot on for Rabbits and when the flight was over which was a good one we walked around the fields and shot a nice lot of Rabbits. As a extra bonus there were a lot of mushrooms about then so we filled our bags up with those as well. When we had enough we loaded the punt up with about 20 lew about the same amount of Rabbits and 3 or 4 carrier bags of mushrooms, sadly a bag never to be repeated.

A Garden Of Eden just there for the picking. Things can be a bit quiet in the first part of the season but usually get better after the October influx of fowl. But hey, it's the being there that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
