flooded rivers in southwest
so with all the floods in the southwest will a lot of good stuff get washed down the estuaries and onto some of the beaches, it must be worth a punt around those areas if you live there , what do you think ?

Well the rain came and came and came down but i did a little bit on the beaches and i have now decided that beaches are not for me i will stick to my lovely fields
and i found nothing of value nor historical value at least in a field the minimum i find is a horses shoe from queen Victoria's era

The biggest I ever had was just over the 12 pound mark from the river Severn . The most I had in one day from the same river was 43 all ranging from 2lb up to the 12lb and lots of those were around the 8lb mark. My arms felt like lead at the end of the day. They all came from a place called Arley. All were caught on luncheon meatbob4567890 wrote:id love to do more but i have 5 kids now so time a bit hard to come by.blacknred wrote:that's a big fish Bobi used to fish but only fly fishing as couldn't be arsed to carry all the tackle lol. but i did specimen fish some years ago for Barbel only

Its better out of the ground and in your hand for the history or monetary value rather than left in the ground to rot doing nothing for anyone.
