flooded rivers in southwest

Post by Maximuswarks »

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 ?

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 meat ::g

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.
