Thanks for the tip,Charlie..jack

Wishing you all the best in your project Adam and Bob. Jack and Andy.

Anyone who's wife has asked them to clean the electric chip pan,[yuk-ughhh] would have to give a lot of consideration before introducing anything resembling "chip-oil" into an engine. P.s anyone know anything that will dissolve the damn stuff.? our acid-like oven cleaner,won't touch it...jack

I just dug out my licence and read it,Do's it say I cant fish in the river until 15.june ?..jack

Thank you Rob.I suppose it's too early to start rod waggling there yet ? jack

I enjoyed the Video,[chuckles and all ]. My Daughter lives 400 yds from this fishing spot, I have never caught a Mullet [there's a surprise] I have an inflatable. I have spinning gear. I have a national rivers licence[never used in 3 years,owning it]. Do I need,and where can I get,a permit to fish here.? Thanks Jack.

I am conserving Tope like no-one else....jack

What's the chances of lugging 5 gallon cans of fuel to your boat[at Cobb's passing the fuel pumps ] without some kindly/jealous soul tipping off the customs and excise....nil I reckon. jack

Congratulations Stuart.... Andy and I wish you a Safe and Successfull season. If conditions ever leave you in doubt of your ability,Theres always another day.! It's supposed to be fun,not an endurance test. All the best,Hope to see you on the water.Jack [Pal-a-mine]

I can see why you would be smiling Fred,But what the heck has the Monkfish got to laugh about.? jack

STOP IT AT ONCE..!! I get a nice simple answer,which I think has got me sorted out,then I get hit by the "techno" boys who blind me with science. aaaaaaagh !!. Seriously though..Thanks everyone,all info taken on board.. jack

Thanks Trevor....Tried it and it worked a treat.Who say's you can't teach an old dog new tricks ? jack

Hi Duncan,Andy used to visit and stay on theI.O.W. when he was a mad "Gin palace owner"... I was refering to my Campervan exploits,Nice vehicle but tends to leak a lot at sea.Hence the use of ferries.. jack

I decided to go all posh,and replace the use of an elastic band stop knot on float tackle gear,with Power gum. Bought a roll, NO INSTRUCTIONS. I foolishly thought it might be sticky. I have tried tying it on the main line,but it iether comes undone again or does not grip and just slides about. Educate my someone please. jack DOHH !

Never been to the Isle of Wight, I will have a freebee trip in the summer.. thanks ..jack

Happy Birthday DEAN... All the best for 2008. Jack & Andy

Happy Birthday Dan.Hope you get lots of fishing in 2008. jack

I suppose I need not say this,but it is surprising what help you can find on the net. eg.. Fishing reel manuals and worksheets ;Outboard engine servicing and repair guides etc..Fixed my Johnson after downloading a freebee... jack

Tom beat me to it on this one. I have just paid for my Rail tunnel ticket,with Tesco vouchers .Thats nearly

We on Pal-o-mine have an ebespatcher diesl heater[always in use Oct-june].How on earth could we begin to calculate the proportion of our fiuel it consumes. I reckon it would be worth just paying for it,rather than the hastle of calculation headache. jack

I have in the past whilst weaving about in the wind at the end of the anchor rope,thought about fitting a small Mizzen sail to Pal-a-mine. But am now considering more....Is such a thing a practicality jack

Thank goodness Fladen don't put their names on all their bottom tackle.At least the fish won't know that its not designer gear. I have been using;rods ;floats ;swivels;landing net ;knives;scales;fish,lip grippers;trawl net [welsh sandeels];feathers;lures; a fish smoker,and lots of other sundry bits and pieces,all Fladen. Never had a breakage or failure of any kind. Must admit to designer [and bloody expensive] reels,but then I havent tried the Fladen range. I admit to not catching lots of fish,but feel that's got more to do with my lack of expertise ,than the use of lower price fishing tackle. The Cash Generater shop in the other Ashley Road,has a rotary display stand towards the back of the shop.I often spend time looking whilst my wife and daughter are in Primark [almost opposite]...Oh dear,they are not designer either,I am showing my "class". jack

Nice fish.Great photo.Well done Paul.... Jack

sounds good to me..now be sure to fit a break-out to your anchor stem,so that you dont leave it all on a wreck somewhere.. jack
