Following all the talk of "circle hooks" during the summer,I decided I had better get some.Being a bit lazy,and the post being cheaper than petrol.[no tackle shops near Shaftesbury]. I sent to Veals and a tackle shop in Paignton for some.On receipt I was surprised to see that thier sizes don't correspond much to thier normal style cousins [circles much smaller].And they are so much more expensive.So last week I found an advert on e-bay that looked promising. I sent for and received,3 boxes of rapala hooks;25x10/0;.. 25x8/0;.. 10x16/0..= 60 hooks for

Bob,I know a chap who won a competition for blowing up hot water bottles ,by mouth.perhaps he could help.!! [or even have a go yourself.]..or if my wife isnt busy ...........oh heck she's coming.. ...jack

A nice gentle "silly one" thanks Martin...jack

Thanks Duncan,look foreward to that.. Thanks too,Sam & Kam Andy can now dream of the one that did'nt get away !!

Andy's fish.....jack

Because Andy and I were limited to a fishing day of 10,00- 4.30. we did not enter the comp. {plus we are crap fishermen ].We headed out from Poole on "Pal-a-mine "on an azure sea with twinkling sunlight ;superb visability;calm sea and virtually no wind.We were surprised at the absence of boats fishing in the harbour,and even out through the swash and around Old Harry,not a boat fishing in sight !.Far out to sea we could see a little cluster of boats."shall we join them?" I asked Andy." Why,he replied,they have never done us any harm !".I agreed and we steamed on across peveril [hardly any waves ,today, and around the end of St Albans Head strait into a very nasty little sea.We slowed down and called up Duncan on Pheaton,who assured us things were "unpleasant "where he was.{I suspect he knew of our reputation and was worried we might join him on such an important day. {only joking Duncan ]. we decided to fish in the area,on the drift. we fitted "rotten bottoms" and drifted West for over an hour ,picking up 1 dog and 1 pout.The most enjoyment was had from listening to the moaning ang grousing from out of sight fisherfolk.We drifted beyond and over St, Aldhams ledge,and by 1oc. we thought the tide would change.I was cold,and it was a little nausiating hiding in the cabin with the heater on. We decided to call it a day and headed homeward, we passed Sheille marie bobbing on the end of peveril,looking very pretty on a , by now calm sea.On a whim we anchored off Ballard to clean up the boat whilst having a last dangle.Almost at once we were Doggie bashing { I really dont care ,a fish is still a fish for all that} and then Andys reel went into "super click" as line pulled off,and he lifted into a very pretty Small eyed ray,which weighed in at 8lb 3oz.A nice end and surprise to our day. WE ACTUALLY CAUGHT A PROPER FISH. ..jack

[how about one that says just for jack and then he has to catch it. sam .. Sam.."I should live so long. !! .".... ..jack

Adam,with yours and James "history file" just the odd hour in the middle of the day,should be sufficient jack

Kam,in view of comments on the other posts,I don't suppose ,that when you go again,you could bring home those you catch,in a bait well,or aeriated trailer,then re-introduce them in Poole Bay.Preferably with a tag stating "for capture by members of PBSBAC only !!".. jack

Hazard warning .!. Andy and I will be out and about in Pal-a-mine... jack

How wonderfull is the prospect of catching a fish strong or heavy enough to break ANY trace ....You know what I mean... jack

Kam..this is nothing short of Death wish 2005. where do you get the energy from.If its on sale.I want some !. jack

FROTH off,you SUDS !.. we dont want you all getting into a LATHER over this subject.Alyhough the subject is CLEAN enough,even for you SHOWER... jack

Nice write up Kam,can't you submit this type of report to the fishing Mags.? It left me feeling knackered,what with the travel and the fishing,and I was unly reading about it..well done ..jack
