I remember fishing Priory Park for carp and entering into a conversation with the "Parky" complete with gold rimmed peaked cap who " suggested" that I should get off his island.OCM1 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 1:47 pm Great shop "Goings" My first purchase was 50 yards of 3lb bs PDQ line as the shopkeeper said I "wasn't going to catch a fish bigger than 3 pounds from Priory Park lake!
