Default Grafham for The Midlands Final of the Anglian.

My fellow recruitment consultants,
We, the intrepid and fearless members of the Kent and Sussex fly fishering regiment of the 1st Ale Drinkers and Morris Dancers; once again are venturing forth into the wastelands of Cambridge shire to man an unarmed assault on the unwashed heathen that are the midlands teams. They of course, with their superior numbers and local knowledge, ungainly gait and strange chinless faces and unfeasibly long blob pulling arms, will on paper hold a considerable advantage over us simple southern folk (aka. my team mates. I of course being born in Birmingham where I stayed until I was able to crawl, my parents finding me in Newcastle Upon Keegan some 2 years later, am of course highly inteligunt and fiendishly skilled in all things human).

We are initiating our assault at Grapham on Thursday the 24th July with Keith Nicholson and Jeff Latter (Jeff's the Blastar'd son of Tony Slattery if you didn't know). I'll be having a pleasurish day there on Friday, taking a client out (first time in 20 years I've found a client who fishes..happy days!!!) and a full team assault on Saturday and Sunday for the match on Monday.

As per usual, any hints, tips, clues, kind words of abuse or encouragement will be gratefully received. Blobs are working well apparently. What is a blob? What colour should I use? Can I use Berkley powerbait flavour spray like I does on my nymphs?

On a serious note...if you're at Grapham this weekend, what did you catch on, where, what time, what line, how deep, what leader, how many flies, what position on the cast, where you on the engine or bow, what was the weather doing, did you try dry flies, did you have a look in savages, did you have a **** before or after fishing and did you see a fit blonde called Angela and did she ask after me. Give John Meesey a kiss and tell him Jeff Slattery finds him very attractive.

Ask the Grand Max pensioners what they were up to as they came third in the Southern final this week. I think they all did pretty well. You'll guess what Sooty was doing I'm sure. Just goes to show they never lose it - reminds me a bit of the Carlsberg pub team with Jack Charlton, Brian Robson etc etc...

Remember though not to speak until they have their ear trumpets in place and both eyes open!

Cheers

Mike

Dear Gillaroo
Team Grand max/soft plus......or Team super soft as commonly referred to in the Brown Trout alehouse in oldest lamberhurst, have already divulged all their worldly knowledge to Sir Vincent of the Brooks. Gollum (Clive Perkinson of the vale) is wizzarding orangeilicious blobbies with the magic tail as I doest lament on thy electric telephi=onic no speeking thing of whichest various buttons i currently press.

Gillaroo, stray from your rocky shores at your peril, the deeps are no place for a young hobbit. pitsford pirate lurks in many a darkest thread.... and stop calling me by my real name pls Mike.

so.

like i said earlier, if you're fihing Grafham this weekend, what's hot and whats not. free beer for all worthy knights. Tell Angela I still harbour the urge.

Because no one can understand your geordie accent!

Have you not realised that if tactics/methods are posted on here then all teams could see it? PM's are much better.

I have some info from the Team who won the heat so fret not. Anyway, we shall do it our way!

Inadvertently, you've given the secret away.

I was catching 4lb slabs all last weekend at P Bouy, on a size 16 blue ribbed hares ear with a purple head.

Graham.

Bet Angela loves that - ribbed for extra pleasure eh! Can I have her number or at least a photo preferably without the rest of your team?
