 Hi everyone, today I'm off fishing with my friend Ian on the kayak on the local Bristol Avon. I'm going to head down there and try and winkle out a perch or a pike on the lure rod off the kayak. First pike fishing trip on the river of 2024 with Dizzy. Brilliant! Ready? Yeah! The floods have now receded and they've left loads of debris lying around. The Grand Slam is pike perch chub or wet wipe sanitary towel and condom. So there's my chop shop jigging a small perch at a mixer. Last week I reported the sewage waste in the river. They asked me for a location and kept me on the phone for quite a while to ask exactly where I meant. Well, it really is from Bath all the way down to the Bristol Channel but as you can see on that sanitary towel, sanitary towels have got plastic in them and the force of the river will get rid of the fabric part and leave the plastic bit behind. It should get easy to dismiss as a bit of torn plastic bag, it is absolutely everywhere. Jesus, look at that! It's never-ending. Ian's had his first bite. Here it is, Westin's Waters new bridge for their heavier vehicles while they build a new sewage works. Surprisingly low to the water actually. It's caught a wet wipe here. Nice isn't it? First one of the year. Chunky perch. Beauty. Looks very fat, probably just about to spawn. What a lovely fish. So last knockings, last lightings into his first fish of the day. And you're saying those fatal words, don't come off now. Well done. Another one. There you go. Good man. It's a smaggy one, isn't it? It's fins. Yeah. I hope you can find his way back in that current. Bigger, better fish, isn't it? I was going to show you the lure, but he's actually eating it all. Lost it in the scrap. It's just that far off the bottom, it's eight inches. Drop shot. And on a spiky shad. It's getting dark, so it's probably time to head back now. Job trying to see the hook in that fish's mouth, so I'm going to call it a day. What a turnaround. It's all about finding the fish, isn't it? Weirdly, Ian couldn't see them on his fish finder. So how they hide from that. It's that shallow water, I don't know. Thanks for watching. Well, Chapt, we've managed to find some fish right at the end of the last knockings, just as it was getting dark. And I think we'd carried on, probably would have caught a few more. I wouldn't have wanted to go out on that water without the dry suit, because, yeah, that water was pushing through fast, and I was expecting it to. Really surprised if we didn't catch during the course of the day, but that's the way it goes. The aftermath of those floods is just terrific. There is sewage waste everywhere, strung all the way along the trees, as you saw in that video. And I've had a chat with some friends that I think I may be able to get some coverage of that on the BBC's Today programme. So fingers crossed. I've also reported it to Wessex Water and the Environment Agency, and it will be interesting to see what they have to say about it. Last year, they denied it was even there. If they do the same again this year, I will be spitting blood.
