No, not the same one Jim. I looked at that one but it is not as versatile. That one only uses the bags they sell so one cannot cut lengths of tubed bagging to any length or width required. However, a small tip I picked up was that one company sells strips of some sort of material that go into the top of the bag to stop liquid preventing heat sealing. I have started using folded kitchen towel and it does the same thing. Try to avoid washing fillets in fresh water prior to packing also helps in the process. Terry.

I don't think it would stand up to the amount I use mine, Rob. As well as fish I use it for game (right up to venison) and meat I bring back from Scotland when I'm fishing or shooting up there. However, if it does what you want, a bargain indeed. Terry.

A Very Happy Birthday to you both. Terry.

Thanks for the details, Pete, I will add that to my data base. Sounds more Nordic fishing than UK. Terry.

Sounds great! Can you let me have details as we are possibly going up there shortly as I'm banned from long distance flying at present. I knew there would be something worthwhile. Terry.

You're not the first and you won't be the last, Alun. I know from experience that it's o/k until the adrenalin wears off. Terry.

Bloody cheek, you were doing so well up to the last sentence ensuring your accommodation for the next trip. Terry.

Message from Chris at The Fleethouse; it's good to have service suppliers who are understanding and on side. 'hi terry you're really not having any luck with the weather, thanks for the notice but as its all i do is fishing trips, if you cant get here then nor can others so its yet another free weekend lol see you in sept hopefully, chris

After a call from and discussion with Dave, it seems weather has stopped play again and I have therefore cancelled the accommodation in Alderney. Bored now! Can I go fishing sometime this 'summer' please. Terry.

Obviously not enough for a discount so, sort yourselves out. I'm ordering mine today. Terry.

I've had correspondence with the distributor and, yes, it is the same product. It's made in Australia and some of their paperwork shows Salt-X. The price for one litre concentrate (makes 35ltrs when diluted which I keep in a spray) is

Good call Stuart, looks like the same stuff with a different name. Same 3 products, Salt Off (Salt-X), Salt Off super concentrate and odour remover (Phew Go). I have contacted them for details of cost, postage, etc. If anyone else is interested, let me know and I'll see what I can do for a discount. It really does clean up pliers, scissors, reels; anything really that is affected by salt corrosion. Terry.

Nice thought Jim but, wrong stuff. Salt-X is for using on boat parts and fishing reels, etc, to not only inhibit the effects of salt but also to get rid of the effects when one has, perhaps, forgotten to soak in fresh water. Good stuff! Terry.

Yep, that's the one Dave. Unfortunately, it's the one in the USA and I wanted the one nearer home. But thanks for the effort. Terry.

Anyone know where Salt-X have gone? Teir link on here does not seem to work. I've run out and need new supplies. Terry.

I'm in again if wanted. Terry.

For those of you who, like me, freeze fish (and game) for future use because we do not get out as often as some, I commend my latest vacuum packing machine. This treatment extends the freezer life of food by approximately 3 times. My old one which I have used for many years has finally gone kaput so had to be replaced. Having tried the new one on the Alderney harvest, I would be happy to recommend it to other members. It is called the Buffalo and will handle bags (or those cut from rolls which I use) up to a width of 310mm which is better that my old one at 250mm, plenty big enough for small haunches of venison. Details can be found here http://www.cateringbase.co.uk/cooking/vacu...l?search=vacuum The folks at cateringbase seem very helpful and I feel fairly confident that if enough wanted one, I could get a discount. Let me know what you feel. Terry.

Right, I'm off to bed, some of us have to be up at 03.00 in the morning! Terry.

Sounds like somebody wants to be thrown overboard somewhere en route for a quick dip. Any volunteers, Charlie? Terry.

The following have ordered for Monday night at Reas Bistro (aka The Moorings): 1)Alun, chilli 2) Ben, chilli 3) Greg, rib eye 4) Craig, rib eye (steak? bit risky for you, mate) 5)Ashley, rib eye 6) Terry, rib eye 7)Charlie, rib eye 8)Dan, rib eye As I have had to submit the order, I have taken the executive decision to order rib eye steaks for any others not shown above. Hope that is o/k, if not, tough titty. Or let me know if you are veggie or something. Terry.

Can I just confirm who is going please. I have: Craig Ashley Ben Alun J. Rob F Greg Dave E Paul Simmonds Mark Sterne Gordon H Charlie Dan Terry Is that it? Terry.
