Don't forget anyone on shroppie.... World championships on Saturday. 17 miles of them from MD to Audlem I believe. Word on the cut is of an actual stoppage but haven't found anything yet. We have run away to great haywood to 17 miles of boats! 10 queued at the lock yesterday. Have fun anyone trying to moor at Cool Pilates, looks like they are pegging straight through.
What genius thought that one up at peak summer?!?

IIRC it isn't an actual stoppage, just a "suggestion" to avoid cruising in that area when the comp is on. Well we know what they can do with that suggestion. Anyway, it could be worse, you could be on the KandA!

Damn, if I'd know earlier I'd have gone up there and thrashed through the 17 miles in under three hours.

Its sad that fishermen are so agitated by moving boats. They don't seem to realise that a boat moving through their swim will actually increase their catch. Do they think the fish swim away and hide? I would have thought they would come and have a look round the newly disturbed area for some food  I don't fish but did once try spinning and I caught a huge pike immediately behind a boat which was turning and disturbing the water. I know match fishing is not about pike but they really don't need to moan about boats. |

I once chopped a great big fish clean in half with my prop, the front half did look a bit surprised as it flew out of the water.

Anyway, it could be worse, you could be on the KandA! Apparently there will be stewards to 'advise' other canal users i.e prevent/umpire arguments, why can't SYTRANS do the same with bikers on the K&A? And boaters can always rely on volockies to fight our corner! |

In that case they would surely welcome as many boats as possible for maximum moaning opportunity. I can't remember ever seeing a seated fisherman enjoying anything apart from one night when I crept past some fishermen in my electric dinghy at about midnight and they (two blokes) were chatting away about women. One said the wife had been moaning because he had pissed on the bathroom floor a little bit and they proceeded to agree with each other how terrible women are. I was incognito in the dark in my dinghy en route to a beer rendevous in a morrisons supermarket. They were having fun but it was not fish related. Other than that I have never observed enjoyment in seated fishermen. |

No, and in fact there seems to be a minimum distance they have to sit apart from each other designed to make conversation at normal volumes impossible. |

And as for the apocalypse, when it finally arrives armageddon outta here ! Up to the attic with Jim Riley's "jokes" !! What did you do with the pike? I once drove from Anttola to Helsinki (3.5 hours) with a pike in a carrier bag on the back seat. |

To be fair, all the fishymen we came across this Summer gave us a cheery wave.
