The Final Countdown


Early morning session and three barbel added to the challenge, total now 990 - ten more to catch! So even though I hate carrying any extra weight - and it'll probably be 3 or 4 trips before I drink it - I'll have my celebratory bottle of Blue Moon in my bag ready. So close!


Bet I forget the bottle opener though - I'll end up opening it with my keys or forceps! Oh, and while I'm remembering forgetting stuff - it's Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Christmas Fishing tonight, BBC 2, 8.10pm - or you can wait for the repeat on Christmas Day!!

990/1000

  1. Well done, but never mind the beer - who makes the bottle opener gizmo? Not seen one before.

    1. Search ‘credit card tool’ on eBay - only about £2 and surprisingly useful.

    1. I’d like to crack it by Christmas but who knows - fishing isn’t an exact science... And I’d like to track down a pike or two...

    2. Got more chance of catching the clap at a covent than you not achieving your target before Christmas.

      You just need to clock another two trips between now and then, all wrapped in time for a Grayling trip to paradise!

      Looking forward to a bit of grayling fishing (and roach and pike...)
