Duncan,We have got to the stage when we have adopted the premis "why spoil an already perfect record ?"...jack P.S. Andy cant fish this weekend,Saves me worrying "where are we going to store the fish".

Charlie. If as you say,Tope will attack and destroy these bait filled bags in summer,perhaps it would pay Andy and I to "spike" one of these with a few hooks [trebles even] and then at least we might catch SOMETHING this season.....jack..P.S. to our more technical and conservation minded readers...NO I am not serious.

Charlie you have my sympathy,my two lads are now in thier 40's and it gets no better....[although Andy does take me fishing.].....jack

A young lad arrives late for his Sunday school class. The teacher was surprised as this boy was usually one of the first in. the teacher asked him if anything was wrong ?.The boy said ,"no" ,but that he had been going fishing instead ,but his Dad said that he needed to go to church. The teacher was must impressed and asked if the boy's father had explained why it was more important for him to go to church,rather than fishing?. "Yes he did miss,said the lad,he said that there was'nt enough bait for both of us". ...jack

The wind was screaming from the North,The boat had shipped a foot of water,the pump was not working,they had been bailing for an hour,and the engine still would not start.They had caught no fish,and now it was snowing heavy too. One said to the other. "what a lousy day this has turned out to be"...."yes",replied his mate," Its just as well we decided not to turn up for you'r wedding this morning"..jack

Now who mentioned sam....? ....Never mind lad,it will all come together one day,Just never give up hopeing and wishing...Jack. ps,just out of curiosity,same chap in scotland is selling his tinnie and he reckons its over 50 yrs old ! I said they last well !

Can someone tell me what the net is used for ? we have a big one in a clip on" Pal o mine"Still brand new after more than 2 years.?...jack

Funniest yet....jack

Is'nt it a good job that schools dont let the lads search the web pages for used boats ! as someone who shall remain nameless, would get no work done at all!!!! jack

Most tinnies only have a little front deck,just enough to stuff a bag with clothes and grub into, to keep dry. I fitted foreward steering on my 14' and a small blue canvas "dodger" I had made up in PVC with folding alloy frame.This kept off wind and spray,and would have helped with over the nose waves {but I never had any because you must never over-reach your boat by taking on sea conditions it was'nt designed for.}..Each of my tinnies had solid foam bouyancy built in,under the seats,This once proved very useful when I rolled it over "showing off " in heavy seas in Spain,I got help to pull it in,bailed it out and started again,,,I was even more daft then ,than I am now !! . P>S you could not expect to launch and recover a 14' boat on your own...even alluminium. jack

There was a young lad called Bill Odd. all his life he was tormented by those around him because of his name, Eventually he grew up and became a successful commercial fisherman, and the owner of several charter boats, When Odd was near to death, he gathered all his kin around him and said " I have been tormented by my name all my life,so I want you to promise that when I die you bury me and leave my headstone BLANK." They all agreed, and carried out his wishes,.. and to this day when people pass his blank headstone, they all say "That's Odd ! " ...jack
