One of the things I do with my pedelec is hook up my trailer throw all the gear in and lash a few rods on top and go fishing. Today I went on foot but... fresh fish in the fridge for the first time in quite a while! :)

I taught myself a new technique for me, fishing with paste. A mix of semolina and sardine oil which is applied to a triple hook attached to a float. It is also very good for the skin, my hands are so smooth and smell, well like canned sardines in oil in fact :eek: The fun bit is detecting the touch in time, the float just has to begin sinking otherwise it is too late.

Just wanted to share my happiness with you all, oh yeah, nice warm and sunny afternoon too :D

I live by coast in UK and you cannot beat fresh fish caught yourself !

Though electric fishing had me worried..... I had a mental image of a bunch of ebike batteries in series lined up on a bridge over the river

with car type jump leads - negative dipped in river on one bank, with positive on the other bank

Instant fresh fried fish !

The first time I saw a fatbike I thought to myself "beach trolling!" i.e. towing a trolling line with a paravane at the end along the beach (deserted hopefully). We have a season where spotted sea bass feed just offshore... Yes my fishermen friends called me a nutter on that one.
