Most of the Molesey lot know my boat now. I really need to practice my jerkbait casting. They soon get shy of the 150 lb braid 40lb wire and the 2/0 trebles on cheap ABU jerkbaits .

I heard one of the Francis Francis club punts was swamped by two powerboats coming out of Teddington lock recently.

Despite Eric "pike god" Edwards and his PAC coaching team it’s getting worse Ian. The thing that really kills my pig is the numpties who stand behind the I use semi-barbed badge so I am due for sainthood soon brigade. Hooks don’t get themselves out, even if they only have one barb.

Once took six trebles out of a smallish very skinny pike that I foul hooked. Poor little sod could not open its mouth. I took all of them out but had to cut three hooks up. It bead from the gills a bit and I doubt it survived. Should have banged it on the head once it started to bleed but after...

Only weigh fish on accurate scales that I check from time to time.

Would it be Fois Gras on a partridge 10 for you Ugo.

Is this a windup?

Dean if you've been waiting 5 years for Scubes to drop one you must sleep long and hard mate

Just tell him to buy a decent fishing car Trevor. How is he ever going to manage a weekender in a bivvie, get to the swim at the end of a mile long cart track? It has to be the worst car in the world for towing and launching a boat! Just imagine what it’s like in such an enclosed space after...

Dave the Barrett is so last year. an AI. AW50 is where its at these days.

Nowt wrong with a Rudd on a dumbell float.

Crooky Just repeating stuff from Dave really. He certainly has a bigger grasp than I of all things cat and it seemed such an easy way forward I thought I would share. My natural instinct is towards Pike welfare, I only fish for big tadpoles once in a blue moon.

There isn't half some tosh talked about Gortex. Gore, the manufactures do not recommend re-waterproofing with ANY aftermarket product. But they do recommend washing it, not in detergent but in soap then tumble drying to re-loft the fabric which re profs it. It may come as a shock to some but...

Quietly niped back to my van and returned with my Jerkbait setup.

Not that my personal habits are any of your business at all. Normally in the cuddy of my boat or anywhere I want to as long as I have taken measures not to cause offence. I am Diabetic and there are numerous legal points of law that protect anyone with a medical condition like mine from...

Nigel If it’s any help I once tried drying fish chunks in an air dehydrator then rehydrating in an amino rich solution. To make kebab baits for preds. It made a mess; the missus got the hump about making her dehydrator and the kitchen stink. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

As Ade said the law; I doubt many care to much about what you believe.

Ian I got beaten up by Dave M on the PAC board; quite rightly in hindsight. For advocating the use of wire as it cuts the pads. I said I would not fish a livley in a lake with Pike without wire. Nev, as ever came up with the answer, silicone rubber over the wire. Sorted.

A cider from the fridge in the back garden!

Mark I scored 20/80 on what I think was the first ever dyslexia test, it’s now discredited as it only indicates a level of word blindness; that’s what I am so it does for me. I reread everything half a dozen times and still make mountains out of wobills! Spell checkers don’t do smilies...
