  1. Used to fish the River Dart in brackish water on the big tides in September, we would get some crackers. I was told or read and think its true that the big ones are come down river to the sea then, then travel right across the Atlantic to the Sargasso Sea to spawn. Top bait was peeler crab, a lot of guys would not waste peelers on eels but back then I had 500 of my own peeler pots and were never short. Cheers Arry
  2. Pity your not closer GL, I know you could work some of your cooking magic with that stuff, really is the prime gear. Cheers Arry
  3. Over the moon today, some prime stuff. "Ceps" and "Hen of the Woods" well chuffed. Cep growing out of the river bank. This is "Hen of the Woods" growing out of the roots of a fallen Oak tree, is a good one keep your eye peeled for one. Usually growing at the base of an Oak or near the base of an Oak. Laid on the grass at home so you can see it better. Cheers Arry
  4. Don't know if this is any help or if its a very accurate. Cheers Arry Pike Length To Weight Conversion Chart 25 in 3.83 lb 26 in 4.32 lb 27 in 4.86 lb 28 in 5.44 lb 29 in 6.06 lb 30 in 6.73 lb 31 in 7.45 lb 32 in 8.22 lb 33 in 9.04 lb 34 in 9.92 lb
  5. Out today some where different for me but got some fairly good stuff. "Oyster Mushrooms"( they were growing on a beech tree) , "Hedgehog Mushrooms', "Ceps" "Bay Boletes". "Ceps" the one that are white underneath and a bulbous stalk. "Bay Boletes" with the yellow/olive underneath. Both do not have gills but have what looks like sponge. "Hedgehog Mushrooms" Do not have gills instead they have spikes that can be knocked of. "Oyster Mushrooms" I would say shaped like a clam shell, usually growing on a live or dead Beech Tree Cheers Arry
  6. Chris those Red Indian flints are fantastic, worth putting Red Indian Flints into Google and go to images, some are truly beautiful. Cheers Arry
  7. Thats a cracking shot mate, worth framing that. Cheers Arry
  8. Always wanted to see some of them neolithic chamber on some of the Isles. Saw a documentary on one that corbeled in with amazing stone work. I've found the corner of a polished axe head gave it to a amateur archaeologist, ofter wondered if it was broken by the plough or a Stone Age man cutting a piece of wood 4000 years ago. Cheers Arry
  9. Used to find them in nearly all tilled fields round here, lucky the nearest natural flint is about 6 or 7 mile away. If you find any flint around here its usually has signs its been worked if you magnify it. Very addictive if you start though, used to take the dog for a walk and walk up and down harrowed fields. Seen some a chap on the box napping flint surprising how quick they knocked out a hand axe. Cheers Arry
  10. Any you guys done field walking for Stone Age flints? I found my first ones while sat in a hide pigeon shooting, while sat waiting I spotted two flints at my feet. Pick them up and as I held them thought somebody was hunting on this spot maybe 3000 years ago. Any way I started looking for them after the fields where ploughed and harrowed and after a good shower of rain. Hope they may be of some interest. This is a Oblique Arrow head late neolithic about 4000 years old or so I was told. Very small Leaf Shaped Arrow Head. Two small barbs 20mm long, stuck in the s

  13. R.I.P Johny Kingdom Exmoor wild life photographer. Seems to have been killed in a digger accident. Alway made me smile with his accent and the way he was. Cheers Arry
  14. Thats a good example. Good to show people. I think I'm right in saying there is more people poisoned by them than any other mushroom. Cheers Arry
  15. Nice fresh one that, haven't seen one of them in years now. Your right about needing some rain, lots of young stuff coming but starting to dry out. Been finding Bolete's but not sure what they are. Think they are called "Iodene Boletus" cut white no red, no staining and no bloody good Lol. Cheers Arry
  16. Thanks mate bit far for some fungi, I'm down near Torbay mate. Nice of you to think of me though. Been out today few Chanterelles, need some rain its dry as a chip. Atb. Cheers Arry
  17. I broke one apart I think there is other components, Quite a while ago now but think there was a capacitor and a resistor in there mate. Cheers Arry
  18. Just saw your post, thought I would have a mess about. Got an old radio tape player out that my lad left behind turned in on Long wave and bxgger me it started clicking it was on about 150 KHz to 160 KHz down near the bottom end. That was a MK 1 collar. Cheers Arry

    You know I said there were loads in the town where I live, well they only wanted to a have a gay road crossing, instead of a black and white zebra crossing they wanted a rainbow coloured one. Even the council were in favour, would have been the only one in the world FFS. Cheers Arry
  20. Gone over to using similar one Called Renata, I will never go back to using them cheap ones. Cheers Arry
  21. Three parts of the way through last season I had collars go down when ferrets were under ground. On one occasion I had two to ground and both went dead this was still okay and used a third ferret to find them, all sorted with a small dig. This could have been a bit different on some of the other ground we do. Any way its the cheap batteries we had bought of eBay you know the ones 100 for about a tenner, they would suddenly die. Also I think they leak as I was alway cleaning the centre copper pin in the collar that had got black. Started using good quality ones that are made for hearing aids ne
