Thread: Fishing

Don't know if i'd call it a sport but fuck me it's mightily addictive once you start getting into it, am hooked! (I know, i know, funny as fuck int i?).

There's a wee pond just up the road fae me that i've been going to with a mate of mine for the past few month. We've caught about maybe 12-15 fish between us, at least could be more, and there's not been a shiter amongst them. Just the other night i caught a 1lb Rudd, fuckin beautiful wee thing it was. Had another one on that was a fuckin beast, the reason i know is because it was wise enough to know to head for the reeds and the wee fly man got my line snagged. Fair play to him he got away, but i'll be back.

Best one we've caught between us was about a 2 and a half/three lb Bream that my m8 landed. That was about a month or so ago, and the week before i had what could very well have been the same fish, same colour shape and size, and lost it due to the water being higher than usual (fuck knows how it's a pond :confused and we had no net so i had to try and reel it in over a big mound of mud and unhooked it. Bastard.

One thing i know is this. I WILL catch a fuckin monster out of that pond one day, i've heard there is Carp in it and am determined am goanny catch some absolute belters. And when i do i'll be posting pictures up so yous know am not talking pish

I once caught a cold.

That old chestnut

Nice one squire, used to go out the odd time with me da to do a bit of fishing, bog style amateurs like. Relaxing as fuck, enjoy!

Get yersel down the luggieburn sir .Last time I fished there,just between Mollinsburn and Moodiesburn there was trout a plenty (albeit 10 years ago )


And if that fails just kick up to the fish farm in Mollinsburn and do a lazy fish

I like it in the winter more than the summer so haven't started yet this year, it's more my mates thing but I secretly buzz off it. Springburn park is a good place there's some big carp in there and it's a bit of an obstacle course, and yer right they're no daft either

What it's all about ma man, we're not exactly professionals either, but anyone can do it if you take the time to find out where to start. Some buzz so it is

That's what i love about coarse fishing Cashy, you can do it all year round. Big flask a soup and away you go lol.

None of us drive so we just stick to our wee pond, but there's plenty in there to keep us occupied so we're no bothered. Actually we said we'd go back up the canal at one point but when it comes to it we end up goin up the pond, canny get enough of it!

everyone knows the real point of fishing is to go out in a boat, get rotten pissed with mates and try and not deck it into the water, anything you actually catch is a bonus.

We get a swally and a smoke but fuck that boat carry on, my wee Ma would have a heart attack she lost her brother to Loch Lomond years ago when he was 18, i wouldny put her through the worry man.

No my uncle m8 Ma was only a young pup. Hapens a lot, Loch Lomond claimed a few boys a couple of year ago i think and my wee Ma was gutted obviously thinking about her bro.

Ano it's a liberty, she tells me to be careful every time i go up the pond, bless her wee coupon.

As for fishing, I caught my first tiny little trout when I was about 6, and never looked back. It's incredible fun and relaxing to just chill there catching some fish.

Do you still go m8? What's the biggest you've caught?
