Mark and I will throw our hat into the ring. Good work Adam. Rich

Yes Mike, Steve the editor saw it, and asked ofr it to be put in this months mag, perhaps with a date tweak!! I didnt mind it going in, but didnt agree to the latter! When you look at some big bass, they can seem stunted and fat, but that picture still shows a well proprtioned fish, and I'm eternally greatfull to Chris for putting me over it! Rich Good luck in chicago....see any nice looking plugs, pop me one in the bag please!!!

Mike, spark plugs and glo plugs can vary in temp tollerances if bought cheaply. I tried a different brand/supplier of glo plugs, and they didnt last five minutes. Caution chap. Rich

Thats a no....closest is next state Mike.

Mike, have Cabellos got a shop in the Windy City?? Rich

Ere Dan...didnt know you were fishing buddys with Chris Moyles!!!! No wonder the boat is down to the waterline!!!!

Have a good day Dean, dont get too poohfaced. Rich

Shame to see so many fish in the box......more back over the gunwalls would have been better! Rich

Paul, the enabling bit was refering to matey who was lost in the jungle, I belive thats how they located him. Rich

oooooops forgot to add, mobile needs to be GPS enabled.

Gary, generally, the 999 network is answered by local centres, however, when the demand is huge a 999 call from say, southampton, may be answerred by someone in manchester.......unlikely, but possible. The 112 network is picked up by centres local to the origin of the call. Also, when calling from a mobile phone, the general location of the caller can be determined by using trignometry if the ignal is picked up by three or more masts. This is how n'ere do wells may be tracked using big brother technology. It falls flat when only one mast picks up the signal, so the calculation cant be made. One good thing about the mobile 112 system, is that calls made are directed to the closest network, not necesarily your own network, so, say a call from an orange mobile can be picked up by an o2 mast, etc etc, even when your own handset signal is poor. Remember the guy who was located in a remote part of the world by calling his family back home??? It does work, alledgedly. Rich

Mike, theyre great when you run out of R se paper at sea!!!!

Witches Hat.........slightly tighter than a Wizards Sleeve, well it was when I went to school. Rich

Fir your Plaice rigs, its important to keep the bait reasonably close to the bottom, so either a 1/2 oz (scuse the huge figures.......cant cut n paste the small one from Paul D's post ) drilled oval or ball weight between the beads close to the hook bait. This ensures bait bang in front of the fish' eyes when drifting over mussel beds or shingle banks. Killer method. Check out the Sea Dangler article Billy and I featured in last year, the one which also featured a certain England international who blanked, but asked anglers if he could pose with their catches......bad show!!! Rich Rich

Welcome aboard, Skippy, just remember for every plug you post on the site, a sponsorship holliday as a competition prize should follow. Joking aside, welcome to the forum, and get as much out of it as you dare!!! Rich

...............commits "50' jet of water" to memory, when taking pi55 out of Simon when passing!!!!!

Mikey, your muscle needs some exercise chap!! Duly signed. Rich

Jas, in order to get the fuller picture on recorded crimes at specific moorings or yards, approach the Dorset Police Marine Crime Unit, provide post codes for the sites you are researching, and ask for statistics for the past year or so. They can provide these for you. They may use some cack regarding the freedom of imformation act, but you can always just ask. Rich Of course, this only shows reported crime figures, not actual!!!

Jas, I'm not sure if they do, but its best to check!!!

Simple really. Fish with what you are happy with, if it doesnt catch, ask later. Basic dropper rigs ie shrimp rigs will catch all manner of species. I recently won a lure only comp with just that dropper shrimp rigs. They will take all manner of fish, including specimens of certain species like wrasse or pout. With pure bottom dwellers, fish a similar rig, like a three hook trailing rig, with attracters and see what it throws up. As soon as you see what your mark supplies, hone your rigs accordingly!!! Rich

Mikey, your IQ let you down on this instance.

Jas, bathing decks are removable, dont go over the specified length with accesories. Rich

That is the country that put a man on the moon.................... ALLEGEDLY!!!!!

Dan, I'll mind it for you untill you find a new home for it. Deal??? Nah....thort not!!!! Rich

Duncan, come across Sand Key Bridge towards clearwater, in clearwater itself, there is a roundabout which used to have the fountain in the middle.....the only roundabout in clearwater I believe. Take the first exit that goes across the new bridge, and follow that road up untill you reach the main drag where all the shops are. You are heading east, beofre you reach the I 19, on the right you will see a couple of strip malls, housing numerous outlets. There is a payless shoes close to the road if I recall. Past that on the left as you are heading east, you will see a HUGE SEARS outlet store. As you go through the door, the tackle section is at about 1 o clock on the far wall. Well wortha butchers. Rich
