At this lake I caught one the day before, but it was only small. The one I lost was over 200lb. At other lakes I have caught many, with a couple around the 250lb mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Sulking, as just lost another big Arapaima, this time I presented the fish to the guide with the net twice, but he didn't manage to finish the job. Just after the second time it tail walked and the barbless hook fell out. Oh hum!!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many years I went on an annual fishing holiday based in Bournemouth trying to catch a 10lb Barbel on the Stour/Avon. For a change we once tried to catch a carp from a lake using a controller float with a dog biscuit floating on the sharp end. I caught a duck! It was highly embarrassing flapping about like crazy until it shed the hook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Despite suffering from Sinusitis I took my daughter to the new Neath Leisure Centre. Only £4.50 for both Kataleya (7) and myself (OAP). Really enjoyed it and got the brownie points with Kataleya for taking her. She had her favourite vegan sausage roll at Greggs after. Now watching the footie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post coxyhog Posted March 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2023 Although the missus wasn't flying tonight we went to the airport anyway as she had some stuff for her sister which a mate was taking for her. So I went to the EVA desk & told them that she wouldn't be going as I'd had an accident-my arm was in a sling by then-& he said that there would normally be a £135 fee but as it was a medical emergency it would be waived. Nice one EVA! 1 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Just woke up after 10 hours sleep in a hotel in Korat. 4 days fishing really took it out of me. Lack of sleep, drinking and fighting those powerful creatures. Now for a wander out to find some scran and see what the surrounding area has to offer.
