MArtin Salisbury

Last night one of our region members stepped up to the plate at short notice a the speaker we had arranged was unfortunatly unable to make it, then the replacement was unable to make it.
Anyway back to the point Martin gave us an account of his experiences fishing since he was a wee nipper with a kagoul.
He covered his early exploits of catching perch and the odd pike and the scary sound pike make as they chomp a metal disgorger.
this progressed onto him playing around in boats in the lakes via a carpy spell
and from there where to go, well ask his wife if you want to catch bigger fish but there were rudd, tench (well pike as well when he was tench fishing), spanish cats, striped bass, all manner of odd looking things from australia.
all in all a good night with plenty of emphasis on the fun side of things like getting up five hours before your fishing partner to try and get a fish.

Cheers Martin had a good few chuckles and not all at your expense so thank you from us all at region 31 more so considering the exceptional circumstances you performed under.
