  12. Aggressive Harris hawk.

    I have been offered a female harris hawk by someone, the bird is approximately 8 years old, it was flown last year but I've been told she can be aggressive and is aggressive with the man's son, but the hawk is fine with him, it just won't for the life of it get on with the (Adult) son, whether he shows nervousness I'm not sure, with the maturity of the bird do you think it would be worth taking on, I've flown plenty of hawks, owls etc just never taken on a mature bird, my thought process would be to man it accordingly and  get it out hunting regularly, any thoughts. 

    Why have a hawk with a problem when training your own hawk having it flying the way you want is so much better/ easier..

    Like the saying goes ..

    A good hawk eats just as much as a cnut ....or a good hawk eats just as much as a bad hawk ...not sure Wich one it is now

    These are a good bait they flot kn the top they have a slight spade/bill on the front so when u cast out slowly tighten your line and quick jerk left or right sends the lure about 6/8 inch under the water but the water shoots over its head causing a stream and a popping noise under water , ...definitely worth having in the tub mate

    The lures were okay. But I thought that plugs like this stayed on the surface before reeling in. But the ones I used sank slowly. 

    Plugs ... or poppers (that's what therr called ) stay on the top I use alot of them in heavy lily pad area the ones you have there the bigger the clear spade on the front ( looks like a duck beak ) the further down they will swim , if you want poppers the have a round scooped face like the lure has its mouth open and no clear spade , I learnt the hard ways when I baught a beautifull looking lure cast it reeled it and snagged it after 30 mins I got it back looked at pack and it said deep dice to 3 meters lol

    Anyone recommend a budget rod and reel for pike fishing on the canal for my lad , he's only 8 so thinking one them small 5ft rods that see on YouTube for jack pikes , we went the other day caught a couple ( by insane luck ) on a big old Carp rod with a tiny lure , don't want spend a fortune as it mite be a fad with him and die out after acouole month, if he stick to it I'll get him something decent , cheers

    So mine is 16 mesh deep and 72 mesh long so works out  8ft deep and 18 ft long with a 6 inch full mesh , but people make them 18ft 16ft 12ft long , think depth of the net is key , I'm going to make a 6 ft long one for brakes in dry stone walls ( no point taking 18 ft long net when a 6ft one will do )
