Mortimer & Whitehouse Gone Fishing

Hetty said:
Watched the first episode lastnight, very good and very relaxing

That Jimmy guy i've watched before with Robson Green on fishing tv shows

Ted is looking old and Bob's fall was class

The dates don't add up thou as they said it was Paul's birthday the first day and 2nd day was the day before Bob's birthday, but they were born nearly a week apart

I hate to break it to you, but they don't actually just drive somewhere, fish, kip the night, fish the next day and then go back home. They don't even kip the night in some.

I love when Paul shouts don't wind and Bob keeps winding

A bloke sits behind me a football and is a big fisherman.
Always randomly tell him to stop winding.

As a keen fisherman I used to shout at Bob when he used to hook a fish and start jumping about. The worst thing you could possibly do.
If you hook a big fish it’s all about playing it. You have to let it run or it could snap the line. You either “backwind” or “set the clutch” to give out line.
Keep tension on the fish.🎣

There you go Hetts get yourself down here and will gladly take you out for a day.❤️🎣

They always look clean.
When I go the nets, rods, unhooking mats are filthy as well as myself. 🤣

I stink when I go fishing.

I have dead shit under my fingernails and all sorts of goo sprayed over my clothes.

I’m like a fishy smelling Bonny Blue.

I’m banished to a hot bath when I get in which is champion as long as I have a beer to help me with my oblutions.

Unless of course you are sea fishing with 80lb braid when you just rive the thing out there.

I have fly fished with very light tippets so I appreciate the subtle approach but dragging a 5lb cod through weed is rather different.

You could land a submarine with that Mate 🤣
I guess the rocks will be the biggest challenge sea fishing.
I often pick up plenty of line when I walk into swims and litter. Drives me mad when fisherman leave their shit behind.

We have some problems with lads discarding gear.

A few years ago me and a mate were fishing the round end on South Shields pier.

There was us two and two other blokes fishing. They were sitting on folding garden chairs. At the end of their session they simply folded their chairs and chucked them over the wall into the sea.

Honestly Mate - Absolute scum bags.
When I do the bailiff rounds I always chat to the kids fishing and mention litter.
When they go to pay I tell them it’s free for you on one condition. Will you do me a big favour, and take your litter home or stick it in that big bin in the car park.
Always tell them I really appreciate it.

Brilliant. I never leave line or any other fishing related stuff lying around. Just shove it in a bag and put it in the next bin. It’s not too trying.
