S.P..........Have you ever thought of ditching the rods for a torch?

Holy mother! That's mental but very cool.
Think I'll stick to rod and line, less dangerous

Will that work for your carp BM ?

Not something you'd do in the land of piranhas!

On holiday in Peru, we had the opportunity to go out in a small boat on the Amazon to look for pink nosed dolphins. It was dusk and the boat moored in a little creek where we could listen to the strange jungle noises and watch the setting sun, reflected in the mighty Amazon.
The boatman asked if we'd like to try fishing for some river fish and produced some basic rods for us which were baited with scraps of raw fish.
We dangled them in the water, just to please the boatman really. Suddenly, my rod twitched - I'd caught something!! I lifted the rod and there, on the hook, was a beautiful fish, glinting gold and silver, just like a large goldfish.
As I pulled the rod back the fish fell off into the bottom of the boat and was flapping around my bare feet. I didn't like seeing this so bent down to pick up the fish, intending to throw it back.
The fish, however, had other ideas - it sank its teeth into my finger and drew blood.
I'm squeaking and trying to shake the fish off, but it clung on even more fiercely.
The boatman came to my rescue, trying not to laugh, and detached the fish from my finger!
Then he told us that we were fishing for piranha! I'm glad I only caught a small one

Lummy, VC. You don't half get into some scrapes!
