Bright at least

Sunday saw a trip to what was the biggest tackle shop in the world once, Ken Latham's in Potter Heigham to spend some tokens. It s a a confused hotch potch now, I guess mostly for the Broads tripper demographic. I won't be buying these again but did also get a 24 inch landing net which I'd like to fill with a chub or two over the next week. So you might see it. Or you might not.

Home to an excellent lunch by the Creative, straight outta Slater. Big glass for the better than usual wine too. Nice and oaky. Just a taste for me though


I hoped to have a pike or two afterwards so set off for the top of the Syndicate beat albeit quite late. The river and surroundings looked perfect. Leap frogged a pair of smelt down but the river was speeding up and what were slacks weren't by the time I got to them. Really frustrating. 


Results? One cray, who was very reluctant to let go of the mangled smelt.

  2. The crayfish down there have a better grip than the ones up here. I've never got one onto the bank.

  3. Crayfish are like a double edged sword, you have the aspect of bait stealing, habitat damaging, eco-system ravaging toe rags, but what fish are in there get big and tend to grow to not usually seen in those systems. Have you recently inherited them?
