Don't know whether its urban ledged or not, he told Yates to grow beans up the Mk IV he caught Clarissa on after Yates paid a small fortune for it at auction. Incidentally the reason Clarissa ended up in the zoo was as he fully intended to claim the record, the alternative ending for Clarissa...

six packets of hooks all tuned over???

No one has mentioned a portaboat yet. Easy to launch, car topable, very light, I have fourteen footer not got much use out of it yet and I need to get a folding cuddy sorted for her. I also have twelve and a half foot GRP with cuddy, I have just about come to the conclusion the cuddy is a total...

I do not see the point of not having one without auto inflate. This is not a fashion accessory it just may save your life. If you do have that accident and fall in there is a chance you may bang your head. Is your mum coming with you to pull the toggle? Another thing that in my book is essential...

I find it ironic that a lot of guys who claimed a foul at the OP being banned in the first place are now back pedalling furiously! Intrigued face. I aint too good at this lurking lark.

It’s far too heavy to stalk with man! Jennings of Surbiton there's a light weight black pud suitable for a three hour river raid! Oops forgot I'm supposed to be lurking, off back under my stone.

I have been away with my job for a few days. I was winding up for a rant on this thread but Dave has said it all really. Ade is a very good friend of mine so right or wrong, I will back him right or wrong but this time I believe he is right and a private agenda is being perused here. I am off...

Unfortunatly Damian pikeys have car's too. I posted this on another site. Went to a breakdown in Sheer, very, very posh village in the Surrey Downs. No heating and no hot water. Heating powered by a utility room oil boiler. Had a butchers, the burner was locked out, pressed the reset, burner...

Too right Ade, pike do it as soon as the hooks go in. Huge tailwalks in the autumn before the cold sets in. That tests anything, talk to Ray about the twenty I had with him from the Parlour, a Lumby BB350 bent tip to butt and it still managed 60 proper yards at least with its head out the water...

Ade aint that just the same as saying balance your gear? Nothing wrong with braid or mono if it’s in the right situation and you have it incorporated in the right gear. You know I do a lot more pike fishing than Barbel fishing these days. It’s my opinion that braid gives me far superior...

Once in the company of no less than Trefor West I witnessed a total noddy on the Avon play a Barbel to near death then when it was wallowing downstream try to drag it monstrous feeder and all through a mass of weed and tether it good and proper. Tref gave the guy a fairly good version of what...

It’s all very well advising people to "do a search†but things change by the minute in this day and age. Yesterday’s top landing net handle may well be today’s runner bean support system.

Chris I’ll be down the lower Severn weekend of the 19th 20th. Send me a pm. Ill sow ya mine if you show me yours. PS never fish a stiff rod when using braid. Tom Go back into your garage and try a few shock loading tests to simulate a fish shaking its head on a snag. Use a brick or...

Oh so these fish are teathered on mono, thats OK then, I was worried for a second or two there.

It was made for trotting for silvers for them that cannot master a decent pin so are you using it as its designer intended?

That’s the real reason behind me not using it under 55 lb. At 25lb braid is like cheese wire and it can damage fish, not often perhaps but why take a chance? However, I know it’s hard to believe when you listen to some of the rhetoric spouted by the self-opinionated great and good, but its...

That’s not a reason Wayne it’s a mantra. You cannot put more weight on the hook than your rod will let you, but you can pull your gear out of weed, a tree, and land a Weybridge Ladies Rowing Club eight if you ever start fishing the Thames. Your magical surprise will exceed all expectations if...

Lumby will make you one. Other rod builders are available.

Did anyone else see a Jock shipyard welder in a tutu pirouetting across the vision of their minds eye when they read that?
