Mick,mrfishjersey said:I will never again say the water gets dirty around here! Even the Irish lads said they have never known it to be that dirty. Everything went wrong really, it was hard work. It went a bit like this;
Pat, our guide, contracts swine flu the day we arrive.
The first day the wind and raid were aweful, force 7 and driving rain and bitterly cold.
Day two the rain had stopped but the water had gone a real nescafe coffee colour, this is the day Keith and Nathan had hits but no fish landed, we tried for 8 hours without stopping.
Day three, our last day, we decided to get some pike fishing gear and try some fresh water. Get the gear, find the local lake, gear on, set up, raring to go, walk to lake, grounds keeper comes out of his hut and says "Sorry boys, but we electro netted all the fish out of here a year ago".
That evening Nath and me admitted defete, but K&K took some peelers from Cian (Pats mate) and went for one last go but with bait, and Kev managed his 4lb'er.
Thats not me in my avatar Steve, its my Japanese cousin Mikimoto, he is a black belt in ichiban karate so be careful mate.stevelewis430101 said:Mick,mrfishjersey said:I will never again say the water gets dirty around here!

First, change that bloody photo, you look a knob. :lol:
Second, Pat had a cold and stayed in, he would not be seen with you looking like that. :lol:
Third, If I was a grounds keeper and I walked out of my hut and seen a face like yours I would have told lies and said the lake was netted last year. :lol:
And lastly, Nath probably had a bad stomach from laughing so much for the three days and K & K just wanted to catch a BASS on my favourite bait !!!
Only joking !!!
Regards !
