Off Topic The Burly Arms

We are just going down to the river in the town centre near the cathedral, apparently you can fish there. I'm only doing it to get me out the house before lockdown starts and he needs to be back by 2pm. I don't smoke weed until after my tea so I'll have to brave it out with a costa. Are you supposed to celebrate or get excited if one of you catch a fish? I've no idea

 

Don't know mate Don't really know why folk go fishing as a pastime. I do a bit down here, but mainly fishing for Mackerel with an end purpose. i.e. to cook them for food.

Hooking fish out of a river and then lobbing them back in seems a bit pointless tbh.

 

Eh? We'll bring them home surely?

 

I think you’re supposed to look at it for a bit, go ‘that’s a lovely fish’ then lob it back it like.

I dare you to land one, raise it over your head and run up and down the river bank like you’ve just scored the winner in a cup final

You’ll probably catch **** all like, as that appears to be relatively standard. The only reason I think men fish is to get away from their Mrs for a few hours, I don’t get it, any of it.

 

Sliding on his knees with a Perch lofted above his head.

 

Just lol if my mate thinks I'm standing in the cold for hours just to chuck a fish back in the water if we catch it. That would be the most utterly pointless thing ever, it's like hook-a-duck without the prize.

 

Lol. I might be wrong, but I think that's generally the idea with River fishing. You catch em, have a photo taken holding it, and then lob it back in. Unless you're fishing for brown trout to eat I suppose.

Dunno, let us know how it goes bro ...

 

Seeing as piskies all mother nature and recycling n ****, he should practise sustainable fishing and chuck himself in.

Go to bed Fosse

 

Will do once this pizza is done

 

I once heard that fishing is when you keep your catch, angling is when you throw it back. Fck knows if that's true.

Fishing in rivers is one thing, but seen ppl fishing in canals here. Why would anyone do that? @Diego

 

Pike?

Are pike prevalent canal dwellers?

 

I was thinking Sticklebacks more like.

 

Saff’s gonna catch an eel and boot it up and down the town centre til it stops wriggling.

 

They came to mind as well!

Pike eat Stickleback i think though, so.......

 

Didn’t know you was a mod Chief.

When did that happen?

 

See ****s magnet fishing the canals all the time down ere.

 

**** knows, have been on the United board for years.

Not that I have to do much with it.

 

Oh yeah, forgot about that board.
