CASTING.. Sat in the shed,with a pot of lead on the stove,wishing the weather was good enough to get the boat out.

School-[shoal] .A place much frequentd by fish,to study avoidance tactics.

What a fantastic day out you all had,absolutely emerald green with envy,Thanks for sharing all the details,not as good as being there but nice reading.!..jack

I don't want anything for it,I was going to give it to boat jumble,for funds.Try it first,if it suits,give what you think fit.If we dont organise anything i will bring it to next meeting.. jack

NEGATIVE..I once towed my Fastliner to Scotlands West coast,I put all our camping gear and boating/fishing kit in the boat.It made a wonderful trailer...Except,9 punctures 2 new tyres,and the final exasperated purchase of 2 new wheels and tyres complete from a Halfords in Glasgow.Ah those were the days,no rules about overloading etc. POSATIVE. I have an Airbag Jack which goes under anything and will lift a boat on trailer easily,even on sand/mud/grass etc.powered by the vehicle exhaust.It packs away in a small holdall.[ military use them].My campervan is too heavy and too high for it. If anyone is interested they could give it a try ,and if any use,put something in the club funds..jack

[rod ] In my case, An attractive ,expensive,length of glassfibre tube,designed to prevent the fisherman getting too close to the fish. jack

1. [ hook] Punch delivered by wife when she sees, when she checks the credit card statement,what you paid for the new rod 2. [line] Something you tell your boss , to explain your absence when you'v been off fishing, 3. [reel] A weighted object,attached to your rod,to ensure it sinks quickly when you drop it overboard.. I bet theres more ! jack

His ancesters had travelled by boat from africa to England {although I doubt if they were Invited,as such.] Poor beggars.

I once had a work colleague who came from Giana.He seemed a lonely sort of chap,so I asked him if he would like to come out fishing with a group of us.He said he did'nt fish.so I said "why don't you just come for the boat ride ?".He said in reply," Not likely ! The last time your lot took our lot for a boat ride,we did'nt get home for nearly 400 years !!.

Thanks for all your help chaps.What a knowledgeable outfit i've joined..Cheers jack

Cant join you,but wish you all the best...Very envious..Jack

Well done ! you'r my hero.My son Andy and I cried off at 7am.we have a 25ft boat and gave it best.proves the saying"where theres a will,there's a way."..Cheers Jack

Can anyone tell me how to remove or prevent,the Amonia taste which is sometimes present in Skate wings and some other dogfish family fish,after cooking ?.I have tried both eating the fish as soon as possible and also.as told once keeping it chilled for two or three days.Its not always present but when it is,my family and I find it inedable :Jack

I sent for a present for my wife from e-bay,it's arrived early and she received it from the postman.She has squeezed it and felt it in an effort to guess what it is,as she knows she cant open it until the 14th.I have gone so far as to say it's something she can wear,and every time she does so,she'l thank me again.I know she thinks its a Watch ! WRONG !!. Its a wrist worn device to deter Midges and Mosquito's .She will kill me when she opens it, But we are going to Scotland fishing in May,so she will be glad of it.{ps. I have bought her a really nice ring,which she will get after she has sulked for a bit.]
