I love looking at old photos. There's always a hint of melancholy about it....how time flies and people physically change. None of these photos are related, just a random snapshot of some of the thousands I've taken over the years.

Above - Shanus throwing out his 4lb carp livebait on the Ebro in Spain. And the result, a catfish of around 80lb.
Below - More Ebro stuff including a rather nice photo of me sunbathing in pants.

Wak, you had a belter of a shiner as my best man as I recall....and I was literally half the man I nown am. That Ardliegh perch, you made me get in the car to go with only a pint of milk to drink, no tea or coffe or food after a night on the lash and walking home from Colchester in the early hours. That is why I still looked pissed in the picture. Bauhaus t-shirt btw. Love the pic of Guzzagog on the Point. You told all the kids you were hammering them on........cheese.
ReplyDeleteYes, was rather nasty. I remember the Ardleigh trip. You were living by the hospital ? We hammered the fish from the point, but they'd only go on the shallows if there was a ripple. If not they stayed in the deeper water. Don't remember telling kids we used cheese ? It was red black eyed beans, maple flavoured. Somebody watched us through binoculars so we put a fence in the water 10 yards out !! What ridiculous things we used to do.
