Ade the guest alle sounds good to me; I will join you. We is swapping the food for me chucking Mrs Gruff round the dance floor!
Rock n Roll is here to stay
It will never die.

Have a think! It’s called a bolt rig cos when a fish feels the ***** of the hook it gets its arse in gear and moves off rapid thus hooking itself against the inertia of the weight. How much difference in hooking potential does the 10mm rotation of the lead around its centre of gravity...
No way Ade; the clamping bolt falls out of the locking mechanism so you cannot wack it on the head with any accuracy.
I recommend fishing with your mate. You know the one that advises us on extreme weather survival techniques.
Alex I have been listening to it for about 50 years now. Always an excuse Very little action from the AAC Apathetic Angling Club. Of the hundreds of moans about "I saw a poacher and no one has done anything about it" posts on here, how many actually phoned the EA and asked for the all important...
You’re all the same you moan and groan and do nothing. Anyone other than Stevo, Crooky and perhaps one or two others ever had the commitment to organise themselves into a club bailiffing scheme or is it someone else’s job? I posted a link a while back about the prosecutions on the Mersey...

A bit of tile held by two lacky bands will pull off with very little effort.
I’ll bet there are 50 posts or more on facebook about him using killer rigs already.
Hi Malcolm
I am not advocating doing it mate, Eels are a protected species so its illegal and in my book quite rightly so!
I hate them, hideous creatures, but vital to the balance! I just want to find a bait that Anguilla Anguilla and Brim hate but works like magic for everything else.
I believe you are partially right about the fyke netters Dave. However the current eel situation suggests they are not solely responsible. The tiny bit of up to date research suggests that a realignment of the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic drift are responsible for the increase. Double...
