Penelope Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 That depends on how old you are, lol? I had Bamford style conversions done by Max Cottis, he of 68lb Cassein fame. I helped roll the baits. Penelope "delkim conversation" you must be nearly as old as me.

Dave55 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 One fish cottis Penelope! Now I'm getting closer to knowing your age? Bait rolling, probably home made, maybe mainline/nash can't remember it they were going then. Where were you fishing pig lane, Sanford-le-hope, layer? Or did you cross the river to Darenth?

Penelope Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 Two fish Cottis after the Savay pig (but ain't they bigguns!). MR Proteins (I worked bagging up casein, calcium caseinate, etc, etc as a Saturday job for Micky Richardson) out of Max's garage, way before Mainline and Gash. As for fishing, Hainault mostly as it was close to home, Walthamstow ressies, Micky's lake in Newport, a few times at Yateley and Gerry Savage's Cotton Farm, where the Bluewater retail park now stands.

andrewluke Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 that does not look like a genuine photo to me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave55 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Penelope oh yes mick Richardson forgot about him, you wasn't far from bait 78 either ( one of the first ) I fished Walthamstow as a kid before the carp were in there except maybe Lockwood, was also on cotton farm in the early 80s but didn't fish it much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 that does not look like a genuine photo to me?? Why do you say that Andrew ? Its not unusual to have Kingfishers resting on your rod like that, but the difficult part is actually catching the moment, they normally fly off in a flash of electric blue. Spend enough time on the river bank and you will see plenty of sites like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fse10 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Have had this happen six times when over my club lake but as soon as you try to move to get the camera & the little blue darts are away . See quite a few over there so will get a pic one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adge Cutler Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 if it wasn`t for sportsman spending money and looking out for the countryside would we have all this wildlife ? Who knows. I suspect before the Chinese invented gunpowder we did. Cracking shot. Difficult enough to get one to land on the rod let alone get a picture of it before it flies off...they are extremely nervous birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
