Ha ha! My jogging days are well past mate.

Wow only just!

@wesleyshrubsole3531 You and me both mate.

Hi you are very welcome

Nice to hear mate,i was a bit good until my eyes went South! Just for fun now.

Yes armoured lens Joseph!

Yes mate Pete is a good angler and this one a great idea.

Yes mate used to be handy,now eyes have gone....rubbish! Lol

Yes mate cold but nice weather,only two tiny roach caught,we need a restock in the canal for sure.

@ just ordered one of those hand warmers😎

@@josephbackstrom1679 You will not be disappointed mate,7hrs and still like hot coals on just first setting!

Joking apart mate they are the biz,be great for sea fishing too

@wesleyshrubsole3531 Looks a lot better than those things you used to have to burn inside the velvety case.

Mad as a monkey more like Ian! Jesus that was a proper grind.

@wesleyshrubsole3531 Another medal earned mate.

@@IAN-DIXON.. Just two tiny roach caught by eleven anglers,boy that canal needs some fish fast!

@@wesleyshrubsole3531 Has cinque ports done any stocking in the town stretch?

@@IAN-DIXON.. Very little Ian we used to put £1000 worth of small silvers in every year then the committee changed and it stopped.Poor choice as they want £7 for a day ticket,i think £3 in Winter would be plenty.

Yes mate it was, hope for the same Sunday! Keep warm mate.

Hello Joseph you keep it us soft Southern people no likey! Lol

Hi Ian match now cancelled due to the match sec and his oppo going down with the lurgy!

​@wesleyshrubsole3531 oh dear, there is a lot of lurgy about at the moment.

For sure mate,i think the forcast for Sunday was proper grim!

You too Joseph and lets have some proper fish in 2025

@ I had December off so I could go shopping with my wife, so will be starting up in January, Karen doesn’t get it, she says why when it’s so cold 😂

Us anglers must be barking! Lol

I had my leccy socks and coat but it was that cold it felt like you were just in your pants!

@wesleyshrubsole3531 That fog is nasty, the chill goes straight to the bones. Your a brave man Wesley.

Mad mate! Just love my fishing.

Hi Ian yes mate for sure,have a good new Year with lots of fish!

@wesleyshrubsole3531 Same to you mate, hope you and yours have a happy and healthy New year and you get a few decent draws.

Hello Joseph it was anything but Carribian weather mate that wind was horrid,lazy wind through you rather than round! Have a super Christmas mate.

Thanks Ian glad i did not blow it! Merry Christmas mate.

@wesleyshrubsole3531 The tactical in car warm up payed off mate. Merry Christmas to you and yours Wesley.

Thank you for watching and a merry Christmas!

Thanks Joseph roll on Summer! have a super Christmas.

@ same to you Wes, keep up to the good work with the videos, not been out in the last four weekends, dedicating my time to my dear wife and her shopping expeditions lol. We have quite a large family to shop for. It doesn’t look like I’m missing much, but seriously looking forward to getting back ti fishing.

So looking forward to the Spring Ian! You have a good christmas mate.

@wesleyshrubsole3531 Same to you and yours Wesley.

Please don't tell me Alan Smith framed, lol

@@geraldhinde681 Hi gerald,no not this time mate,it must have been tough! Lol

Thanks mate the bag was nice to me today.

He is building up the suspense 😅

Last bloody video did not load! No lads just third,Andy camber had 9lbs (3) bream and Alan Smith a cracking 3lb 6oz tench and bits for 5lbs,my 4lbs not quite enough!

@@IAN-DIXON.. 3rd Ian suppose better than 4th! Lol

@wesleyshrubsole3531 3rd is in the frame mate, well done.

@@wesleyshrubsole3531 Still good angling Wesley.

Thanks mate it was bloody hard going! My mate was up the parade in those big seas but just hoards of whiting!

@wesleyshrubsole3531 Those cod don't seem to want to come this far up the coast, keep seeing reports from Sussex and Hampshire but very few from Kent.

Yes the North is alive with them,must be cooler water up there.

Hi Ian yes mate that was a proper old school tackle shop

@wesleyshrubsole3531 I remember being fixated with that Pike on the wall, it was proper old school in there with all the peacock quill floats on display.

Yes and they made split cane rods to order.

@wesleyshrubsole3531 I bet there aren't many of those still kicking around sadly. Like a rhubarb stick to play fish on though lol.

Phew! Only just lol

@wesleyshrubsole3531 Good luck at the weekend mate, I do hope you get a decent draw this time lol.

Thanks Ian i will give that a try

I have seen this in a couple of lakes over the years where all the small fish shoal up in mid water normally in the deepest part of the lake but the lakes larger inhabitants were still active. I think it's like a bowl of warm water cooling down slowly, the warmest bit will be in the middle, unless the wind decides to bugger it up lol.

Hello Martin many thanks for subscribing glad you like the little videos though i do not think i will ever win cameraman of the year!

@@wesleyshrubsole3531 practice makes perfect or so they say 👍👍

Thanks Ian what a diference when you can chose your own peg!

@wesleyshrubsole3531 hahaha that's very true mate.

I was lucky enough to have played both of them,Tony was overlooked but was no 2 in the world at his best.

@wesleyshrubsole3531 I used to stand in the off licence part of the 3 cups pub and watch him practice when he was in there. He got the yips as Eric called it. I was a good pub player but nowhere near their level.

Same mate got to play superleague for Folkestone but not in his class

@wesleyshrubsole3531 I miss the old darts nights. It used to be a big social thing with pubs from Dover Deal Folkestone etc and the characters along the way. It ain't the same these days.

Very true mate also now the cost of a night out! Last week at darts with my Mrs two drinks £11.60! And to think back in the 80s i played five nights a week!

Cant do worse! Lol

Hi Gerald yes mate it beggers beleif where all the fish go!

Ask Alan Smith he might no lol

@@geraldhinde681 In his keepnet! Lol

Got a bit of bait so down the beach after this blow i think!

@wesleyshrubsole3531 That sea must be cod coloured now. Definitely worth a go mate.

@wesleyshrubsole3531 I would think there is tons of free bait all around dungeness after this wind churned it all up. I remember filling two big buckets with razor fish and big black lug after a big storm. That was back in the days of big catches of flounders along our coastline and proper cod.

Cant get much worse mate,still we dodged this storm.

@wesleyshrubsole3531 rain would have multiplied the torture mate.

It was a nice day Ian thats what makes a biteless session worse.

@wesleyshrubsole3531 Never mind mate you went out and tried.

Oh thats f**ked it already there! Lol

@wesleyshrubsole3531 same here, especially if I caught a good fish and got excited lol.

Thanks Ian,yep colour required.
