For the first time I found myself disagreeing with much of what Jack said in this film but that's because I was both a commercial fisherman and shore angler for many years and one of my favourite quarries was the Bass. Concerning the weever fish encountered at sea it is likely to be the greater weever whose sting is no where near as bad as the lesser weever which is found just under the surface of the sand on the beaches. A good treatment is to bathe the foot or hand in hot water or, pee on it!
Whilst on a long train journey to our holidays years ago when we were kids the train was packed with people so we couldnt sit all together so picked seats all over the place. My bro ended up sitting next to none other than Jack Hargreaves. They chatted to each other about fishing for the whole journey, the rest of us were so jealous !
That takes me back. Even the theme tune reminds me of happy days watching Out Of Town when I was a kid. A real old school gent who talked alot of sense.

Jack Hargreaves ?? My absolute hero.
I listed to him for hours and it revokes my memories of better times and days when life was simpler.

Speaking to my brother about this,he reminded me that we used to pretend Jack was our Grandad,as we never met him,because he was killed in ww2.
I must admit it's a hazy memory,but my brother is right.
God bless JH.
I think any kid today with an influence like Jacks,would be an incredibly lucky kid.
They broke the mould with this one,imo.

I remember this guy from my youth,I used to watch this programme on a sunday,in my Grans' house.
If only there were programmes like this today,Hargreaves is an icon in my mind,and I have all his dvd boxsets.
Imagine having this guys knowledge today?
Great posts,my friend.Thank you.
