the thing that got me into fishing was watching these bloody great fish in the laple canal halsowen from google earth it looks klike its been fild in but now i live in redditch so im only 15 to 20 mins from the tardibigge canal but have nover fished it due to they domt like you grtting on busses with lots of fishing tackle but if you ever whant to try it its sposed to be good by the bridge and marine or ferther down my the res ov oirits baa water but if you want to know a stretch of canal you con fish for free thats not to far away from Redditch we shall have to talk cant go giveing all my secrets away .
