    Good plan to mainly concentrate locally. Building up a wealth of knowledge takes time. Its nice to have holiday fishing but if you actually want to catch fish like a local fish locally lol.
    I fish the Yorkshire Ouse/ Ure for em and know lies up and down the river now. Apart from kipper fishing the best of it is over by July as its what Hugh Falkus would have described as a "big spring run river". Ideally id move onto another river from June/july onwards that has runs of fish in summer and back end.

    As a chef I loved the kinda surf n turf thing you had going in the two pans, if perfection was the aim I'd have less ingredients but hey if you're hungry? I'm sure it'd taste good enough. A bit of garlic would go good in there and a thing called Maggi liquid seasoning. It's a yeast extract and a loose liquid, soy sauce, it and tabasco combine well with king prawns done in garlic butter. Anyhow I digress, your grub is good enough. Your fishing is too, keep em coming mate

    • @abakerslife
      @abakerslife  6 месяцев назад

      The Bay City Rollers wouldn't have created the same feeling.
      Tbh though I did ask myself that question but that was the music I was listening to on the way up so I went with it.
      When I eventually make it to Ireland I will play Sunshine on Leith to redress the balance.

  • @Gamefishing111

    The reason there catching so far up the river is because those seals have chased a lot of kelts back upstream and the spring fish like to stop in pools with kelts in them,hence the spring fish so far upstream,they need shit those bastard things
