Here is a pre-hair rig days pic of Brian Garner with his then pb mirror of 23lbs called Scaley from Hawkstone Park Lake in Shropshire....

Note the glass fibre NW blanks SS6's and the Mitchell 410s and Brian's youthful appearance and long hair. Dubbed Mr Angry from Stoke by Profumo/Black Lizard in Carpworld the former Nutrabaits partner was last known by me to be running a syndicate water in Derbyshire and frequenting Rob Hales lakes...

Anyone know what Brian is up to today?.....

Here's another....

Our old friend and ex-Fishingwarehouse Admin, Rob Fryer AKA The Axeman. Anyone know what Rob is up to nowadays?...

Brian is still fishing but no longer at Robs lakes, he is a member of a couple of Midlands syndicates.

I was at his house a couple of weeks ago and both he and Anne are in good health.

I am pleased to hear both are in good health...

I had some great times with Brian when we fished the same lakes...

Has Brian relinquished the running of Derbyshire Gravel Pit then?

Keep promising myself to amke further enquiries on it.

Hi John,

Yes, Brian gave the lease up a couple of years ago, run by someone else now as far as I know. Sorry, no details of whom.

What happened to Beaky, he seemed to diappear rather sudden...I think he got bannen from here? but seemed to do one altogether?

Beaky/Beakerman/John is still around but much quieter nowadays and is still haunting Shropshire I believe....he occasionally gets in touch...

Glad to hear he's ok, mad as a hatter but he used to make me chuckle a fair bit

Here's another: 'Scouse' Jimmy Clarke with a Smiths common. I used to bump into Jimmy from time to time in Baileys Tackle in Woolston. Is Jimmy still fishing?
