Used to do a bit but not serious. was nice just to get into the country and relax. I like to get out on my pushbike and peddle round little country lanes with no traffic, really calming. Also great if theres the odd village pub to try there wares ?finished at 2 and had a blinding 3 hrs fishing off the surface with my son.
Sometimes you need to have some time for yourself not just work.
Anyone else?
Or what do you do as a hobby?

I reckon, Marky. ?. ? I can snooze with real gusto and I can do nothing with a passion! Specially now I'm getting on in years. ?I worked 6 til 12 then came home and had some lunch. The laid on the settee and had a snooze. Does having a snooze count as a hobby?

ive heard that in big enough water, certain catfish, I think the wells catfish, can just keep growing and get 300/400 pound. I think there were cases where they've swallowed people whole. kinda puts one off paddling ? ?Myself and my neighbour went to Monk lakes near Staplehurst in Kent on Saturday. Absolutely stunning place.
Caught a nice mirror carp with sweetcorn on my float rod. Was catching average size carp on my carp rod using boilies. Swapped that bait for a bit of chorizo sausage, and pulled in an ugly cat

Not sure but I think the british wells record is or was about 62lb.ive heard that in big enough water, certain catfish, I think the wells catfish, can just keep growing and get 300/400 pound. I think there were cases where they've swallowed people whole. kinda puts one off paddling ? ?
the smellier the better for cats.My neighbour (a far superior angler to me), went to a lake near Hastings last year and had a 47lb cat, caught using corn beef
I fished for them in the south of France once when I was younger and had a few 50's out.Not sure but I think the british wells record is or was about 62lb.
Still big but not like on the seine in france where they get huge.
Do love darts.nice dude nice. Went with my father a lot as a kid, i don’t think there are many better passtimes for a father and son ? caught what i believe was Plaice in scotland beach fishing, we then took it home and cooked it, as a kid i wasnt too impressed but don’t mind it now.
he had a boat so we went sea fishing on that a couple of times too. Got caught in really bad weather once which made it all the more exciting for me as a little un i didn’t understand the danger.
He sold all his fishing gear well over 20 years ago as the boat got two expensive to run and it was shared between 3 mates who both pulled out leaving him lumped with all the fees and costs on his own. Haven’t been much since sadly. I now have darts as a major hobby outside work, if anyone has noticed i’ve been a little less active on here than i used to be...darts being the reason ?
Sounds like good fun ? i can’t wait to play in the pubs for real again. I feel it’s needed now. Between march and may i had an amazing few months on the board at home but going through a bit of a slump lately, trying to pick it back up but need real live competitive darts again to keep me on my toes i thinkDo love darts.
Played a charity event in Harrow years ago doubles with robert powell on my team.
Got knocked out by my mum with dennis waterman lol.
Mum's other half beat eric bristow then bobby george spanked him.
I'm biased as I loved the detectives with Robert powell and jasper carrot butbhe is one of the nicest guys I've ever met.
