Hey Rob how’s it going pal all good I hope 🤞🏼 WhatsApp a lovely Rainbow eh nice to finally see Alfred I was beginning to think he was your imaginary friend 😂 I was out about two weeks ago & had a great morning session caught maybe 5/6 nice browns & I caught my 1st Sea Trout in around 25 years from the river I was fishing BUT as I don’t drive I had to take the bus there & home I didn’t bother to dismantle my rod as it’s only 5ft 6 so I carry it on the bus & just have it at my side but on the way home the bus got really busy & I was pushed up against the window as the back seat of the bus filled up well when I got up to get off the bus my rod was snapped at the top about 6 inches from the tip 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ I noticed my reel was a bit iffy but I’ve had it for 7 years & it’s served me well considering it was a cheap Shimano Hyperloop So I’ll be 50 in just over a week so I’ve asked the Mrs for a new rod & reel I’m going to get another Abu Garcia Devil spin rod ultra light & I saw a very reasonable price Abu Garcia reel size 1000 £55 for both so I’m hoping to get another session before trout season ends in a few weeks we are actually having a mini heatwave over here I just hope it keeps up 😉 I’m only halfway through the vid so I’ll leave a fine comment once I’ve watched it all 👍🏼💙🎣🏴
Good evening Craig..good to see your name as it’s been a while. Was reading all the entertainment recently happening in Edinburgh!! Comic festival..shortest joke? And another festival. That’s a hopping town for sure. Bummer about the pole. I’ll have to check out prices here for a comparison. Ya, I was very happy for Alfred and he is real or you’d never see a video as I’m not technically inclined. Well if I am, it’s downhill and fast. Amazing fish this season. Alfred’s been more than pleased of the results…me too. Hear from you later. Cheers rob
Ah well 🤷🏼♂️ that’s why it’s called Fishing eh 😉😁 I was waiting for you to hook into one of the browns you saw but another day 🤷🏼♂️ as I’ve told you before it doesn’t bother me if I blank it’s just good to get out & throw a few lures or bait at some visible fish 😁 I’ll need to check out your previous video for Alfred’s pb Brown 26 inches 😮 nice 👌🏼 Take care my Friend & say hello to Alfred for me will you 👍🏼 Tight lines ✌🏼💙🎣🏴👍🏼
@@craigleith100 well Alfred has been as happy as a clam recently. He’s cert getting the knack for the big one and that’s fine by me. I’ll check out Garcia reels next week when I get home it would be interesting to see if they have the same model even. Always good to see your name. Hope the 50th is a memorable one! Cheers rob
@@robsleeman Thanks Rob 😉😁👍🏼 was Alfred trembling like a kid at Christmas 😂 you know the feeling I’m sure 👌🏼😁 it never gets old I meant to send you this link the other day but it’s popped up on my google feed again there’s a few Abu Garcia rods & reels also a few combos with a few on sale I’m sure they would ship to your neck of the woods 🤷🏼♂️ don’t see why not I had a Quick Look at the site & they do lots of other brands & different outdoor activities. I swear by Abu Garcia the quality for such reasonable prices you can’t go wrong but they also do more expensive equipment so it’s not just cheap & cheerful 😂 when I bought my 1st Abu Devil spin rod it was recommended by the guy in the tackle shop he asked where I would be mostly fishing & what for & since my local river isn’t so big & not much room for over head casting he recommended the 5ft 6 UL btw I didn’t even know about ultra light 😬 but boy what a cracking little rod when I get my new rod it will be my 3rd Devil spin rod, after I broke my 1st one I got an Ugly Stik by Shakespeare but it was light action & I really noticed the difference from UL so sold the Ugly Stik & bought another Abu Devil 😈 rod my Wee Brother bought a combo but I can’t remember what model it was but I remember I caught the 1st fish using it lol he went for a pee so I had a few casts just to see how it worked & hooked a nice brown after a couple of casts 😬😁 he wasn’t happy at 1st but soon saw the funny side 🤷🏼♂️ I broke it in for him 😂 here’s the link anyway www.johnnorris.co.uk/ ✌🏼💙🎣🏴👍🏼
@@craigleith100 evening Craig… that’s a great site, lots of good stuff. Alfred has been doing a great job and can’t stop smiling…Cheshire cat from Alice in wonderland for sure and well deserved. I’m presently in Algonquin park trying to track done some big trout; splake, brookies and lake trout. Want some videos if possible. Fishing with a person and his wife whom I met in the late 70’s! He’s a great fisherman so learning lots as I don’t fish lakes. I also have made maple syrup with him for many years and even used my go pro last March to video the daily routine of making the various grades. Check out ‘maple syrup guys’, it was fun. Cheers to you. Thanks for your views and comments! Rob
Good morning JP…..as Ftke said a while ago, he’ll never tell you exactly! And that’s right as both Alfred and I both worry that someone who doesn’t catch and release, will wipe these streams out in a season. That would be tragic. So suffice to say that we’re in Ontario. And not to tick you off, but when people ask us where I caught it, I have 2 answers, 1 of which I just this am gave the next door neighbour as she said she’d just watched the latest video, and where did you catch it? I told her bottom left lower jaw in the cartilage. She just looked at me, perplexed. My other answer could have been ‘north of Guelph and just south of James bay.’ Alfred and I are so fortunate to go to these streams and still find both lunkers and surprises. This video fish was certainly a surprise and made us both laugh when we saw up close what we’d caught. So again, I hope no offence taken with my answer as there was certainly none implied from my end. I enjoy seeing your name and we enjoy having you, both watch the video and commenting. Cheers rob
@@paulante hi Paul good to see your name. Alfred has certainly been doing a great fishing number recently! figure that location, a giveaway in my mind, gives a sporting chance at locating something good?! Up to Algonquin Thursday-Sunday as a friend has a place there. Big Brook and splake so I’m taking the gp pro. The 1st video of this season, I caught small brookies with him. He said there’ll be a few more substantial looking fish! I can take substantial . Hope you’re healthy and waiting for ball to start next spring. Interesting in Kitchener. Cheers rob

What part of the world do you and your partner Alfred fishing?

DiCarlo uses the same response…north of Guelph, south of James Bay
