i live right near the irwell, right near pilkies tiles......i have done a bit of fishing on the irwell, mainly piking, at balls bend next to clifton maria, however, i have struggled to locate what i consider fishy areas with a half decent bank to fish from....it does look familiar that first pic though.....but im not about to give away your spot to all and sundry.....i figure you would have already done that

excellent fishing though buddy......may have to meet up for a spot of chubbing sometime, iv never caught one bigger than about 6oz, and that was a freak catch from the bridgewater canal in trafford park

tight lines

I hope you have a great time, Andy.

The Irwell near me is quite shallow and uninviting.

Never mind the chub, mate, what about those phallic peppers on your photobucket page....WTF?

Never seen penis-style bell peppers, but I once grew the Peter Pepper chillies - just for a laugh, you understandmg:

What variety are they? Are they just genetic freaks or do they all grow like that?

Hi mate, its been a while since your original post.
Have you been back at all to this peg? i live right near this spot now and have had a few good grayling and brown trout, also been smashed up a couple of times (was on 4lb line so not ideal, but was probably a big trout but may have been a barbel) but ive since upped my line strength to 6 and 8lb.
if you ever fancy a few hours again, im up for that.

Cheers.

I don’t believe that he’s posted for about 9 years, so I doubt he will see your post.
