Yea watched that, it’s hard not to like him! A decent lad if a little off the wall. I hope he catches a break….

I think a vast amount of younger people don’t actually know how to produce homemade healthy meals for their kids, the just eat generations… some of the young lads at work feed their families are entirely on takeaways. And now they are struggling to afford them they don’t know what to do

I bet was a lovely site, I was into falconry as a teenager and a fella I know had one and it was a powerhouse sat on your fist. The sheer size of the talons and the power , as you say I was in awe
Tbh I didn’t do the situation justice as I wasn’t expecting it. Just lucky, right place right time

Lovely pics and a magnificent bird ! Until you have actually held one on your gloved fist you can't appreciated the sheer size and power of them.
I stumbled across one in leanachen forest in the highlands, I was almost on top of it while it was feeding. Initially it made me jump until I realised what it was.
The wingspan was amazing and noise of the lift. I just stood there in awe

I was having a bad time at work with my feet, dewalt and the like steel toes are crap. I now use haix ex army and the difference is amazing! My feet no longer ache and the ankle support is far superior

Apparently I’m receiving my new passport this week, the holiday was in April. Seems being born here isn’t enough to secure one. The hoops I had to jump through were ridiculous.

Spare a thought for ole Claude Jeremiah Greengrass.

Double uni or Albright for me. I do like the FG but I’m just not confident in it! Or at least my making of it.

Bet they can shift looking at the tail
It wasn’t me who caught it but it certainly put a bend in the rod!

I’ve been the same , normally just an overhead thump with the fixed spool and usually wasn’t a problem getting 100+ if needed but never bothered with multis for sea fishing other than a few sessions with a 515 mag4 and a magged fathom12 . Been watching people like Danny moeskops and djrmonix casting on YouTube and they make it look so easy .
Nice one , 14 species is good going , sounds like a top session . Never seen a John Dory , don’t even know if we get them up here or not . Are them bonitos like tuna or am I thinking of something else

I reckon the reel would need a bit of fettleling , a good drop in line diameter and someone better at casting than me to get that but if I can get somewhere near 150 consistently I’ll be happy . Think a few more goes with it to get used to the reel and the mag settings and a bit more power from me and I’m pretty confident I’ll be able to get close to emptying the reel . Not sure how much it holds , can’t see it being more than 170-180 of the 60lb braid . I might step down to 30 with a shock leader and see how it goes with that
I’m in the process of upping my game where casting is concerned, I’ve always just been happy to whack it out but I want to fine tune things!!
We had a good day on the boat yesterday, 14 species in all including John Dory and a rare bonito landed.

The rods good , 7oz doesn’t trouble it but the bite detection is still there , properly light aswell . Think I’m going to get the uptide version aswell for the rays , smoothies and huss off the pier . Picked the reel up secondhand from a local shop and only had time to strip the line on the and put some braid on on Friday before I went but I stripped and serviced it yesterday and put ceramic bearings in . Also took the totally pointless single brake block out and just been out for a cast on the field . 3/4 emptying the spool with a 175gm and simple otg and my first attempts at pendulums without even hitting it hard and also feathering it to stop it going out of the field . Not had any birdies either
Soon be pushing 200yrds

I know a guy who gives them some serious use in the Bristol channel as well. Far more than I give mine.
Veals have them in stock if gerrys don’t but I presume it’s to have a feel before you part company with your cash-

6oz and a whole squid easy mate, I have a pair and they’re used on the Bristol Channel and cope with the strong pull well but show up well.
A beauty of a rod at that price-

No wonder it’s reduced!! Skinners muesli is £18 in my local farm shop that does me for the nights they’re not eating raw
