Summary

We recorded this one in the van while heading back from a tough trip to France last week. As usual the conversation flowed as we discussed alternative baiting approaches and how not rushing into getting the rods out might work better in the long run. We also delve in Mark's recent ADHD diagnosis and how this has transformed his life. Men in general aren't the best at opening up on personal matters but if Mark's experience over the last few months helps just one person listening to our podcast it was worth it. We also have our resident sermon reading from the Swedish leney, Mr Tim "Panther" Harris, can he make it three months on the trott that no one has guessed his passage? Our special guest this month is a lovely chap called Jody Bourton. Now you'd have to have lived under a rock to have never come across the highly successful River Monsters series. Jody was part of the production team so as you can imagine has some epic stories of monster fish, adventures, risks and ultimate rewards. In addition Jody is a carp angler who loves to travel. It's a great chat with one of life's good guys. Enjoy!

Well, a slightly unorthodox start to the podcast this month, but we are on episode 92,

0:18.5

and 92 takes us into the cab of my van on the way back from France. So it's usually

0:25.2

a bit of dead time mark, isn't it? I say dead time. That doesn't relate to crap conversation,

0:31.2

by the way. There are long conversations, mate, isn't it? But it's all good though. These trips,

0:36.0

these long trips in the van to France and that gives

0:38.4

us time to chew the fat. But we're late. We're late. That's the thing. We are sorry guys. We are

0:45.0

inundated with messages saying, when's the podcast? When's out? When's out? Well, it's going to be

0:49.5

at the next while. When you edit it, Mike? That probably is's good Friday today. Hence the reason why it's late.

0:56.7

Our schedules basically meant that we were away at the time when I would usually edit the podcast

1:03.0

and usually push it out. But the plan was to edit the podcast on the bank because I've always

1:08.1

got my laptop with me and I'm always working and bits and bobs while we're

1:11.4

while out and doing bits and bobs on terms of on the bank but I didn't have uh 4G and um I forgot my

1:19.0

dongle which would connect me to the worldwide web to be able to upload the podcast to our podcast

1:24.4

platform so all technology failures really made, of the trials and tribulations

1:29.1

to try and do stuff on the road. Yeah, that's it. That's it. And it was absolute grueling

1:34.4

we've just got back from, isn't it? It was absolutely freezing cold. Yeah. And we just, I don't

1:39.1

know, the days just seem to go, even though we weren't really catching much. We just seem,

1:43.7

the days get filled, don't we,

1:44.8

with all sorts of plava. Yeah, mate, I think it's really difficult to describe to anyone that's

1:50.9

never done that sort of public lake fishing before. But there's never a day where you kick back,

1:58.2

well, I've never found one yet, and I've been doing it for years now, where you kick back, put've never found one yet and i've been doing it for years now

2:01.0

where you kick back put your feet up and think this feels relaxing everything's sorted yeah
