I saw some incredible chinese guys snatching Mullet in victoria harbour,they were the same,must have been at it for years,I lashed the water to bits and only had a few fish to show,they were bagging-up and p**sing themselves at my efforts,its good to see an expert at work Gives us something to aspire to

http://www.capetrout.co.za/recipes.htm http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes/trout I love trout to be honest,I have it 3 or four times a week,got over a hundred Thai fish-cakes in the freezer,take a few out,fry them,great with chillie-dips as a quick meal

Thanks for that Comanche,I am sure the residents along the stretch of the grand-union canal I have earmarked for the experiment will be most pleased to be woken at 2am with the sound of a rifle shot I think your dads book is right though,pike are easily snared,I just need to try it to see for myself,its one of those things

Pike along a canal are easy mate,they skulk in the edges of the beam and are static,apparently it was a common method in Norfolk,if the "Ohhhh-Arrrrrrrr's" can do it I am sure I can Might take a few tries,but I am certain its just a question of technique and practice,just like snaring a gecko from a wall with a monofilament snare and a slim bamboo whip

Poking a few old trout Maty,shame on you Snaring a lamped pike will be easy,ever lamped them?I have done it loads of times,even thrown a cast-net over them at times,snaring one wont be difficult Its not going to be wasted,its for the old guys dinner,wonder if it tastes the same as it did way back then
-
Its along the same sort of theme mate,I think its just regional variations isnt it?I have just been reading Johnny Kingdoms autobiography,theres a decent factual bit in there on gaffing salmon,you can tell he has done it,theres a part in where his bag bursts and the fish go everywhere,I wonder if that reminds Joe of anyone I have seen loads of weird methods Steve,cyanide-fishing,cast-nets,harpoon-guns most of them havent got a place in the UK,but I am certain theres one or two inventive folk out there who have done something different My own grandfather used to use a magneto to stun fish,

Not working a tandem of trained and tethered cormorants from the edge of your bamboo raft on the Yangtze River,but real methods,tried and tested,that you have used yourself.My sisters neighbour has asked me for a pike,small,jack-sized,apparently he used to love them during pre-war days when he was in Norfolk,he used to snare,spear,even shoot them for a meal I am going to get him one,and in keeping faithfully with his memories I have decided to snare it under lamp-light,shouldnt be difficult,I have caught salmon,trout,and carp with a lamp,no reason why a jack-pike should really present a chal

Another one over the rainbow bridge,sorry mate,I bumped into a mate a few weeks ago,hadnt seen him in a while,asked how he was getting on,turned out his new born daughter had lived for 30+ hours then passed away,puts everything into perspective doesnt it?

As you say,prevention is always better than cure
-
Put it into context Kay,if you mace,gas,zap or even stab him he isnt going to ring 999 and complain that a dog-walking lady he wanted to drag into the woods,sodomise,beat,rape,torture and eventually batter or strangle to death,turned the tables on him and did him an injury,forget the law,look how ineffectual they are,if its a one-on-one do what you have to do
-
I have been zapped myself with a stun-gun and pepper sprayed,both incapacitated me for a time,you can pick them both up cheap just popping over to france or online,you can actually bring the stun-guns over in kit-form and assemble them yourself But of the two I would rather my wife were carrying a pepper-spray if something kicked off,and DONT do as I have seen several times advance upon your assailant as your spraying it OR with the wind blowing in your face
-
Sneddon,mean tempered,ugly natured fellah
-
Pepper-spray isnt legal mate,but I know guys who have ordered it from abroad through the post,likewise stun-guns,you get them in kit-form,a little bit of soldering and voila Bzzzzzzzzzzz

Put it this way SJ,I would rather visit my wife in nick than a cemetery in a worst-case-scenario
-
F**k it!Carry a stanley-knife or something,three-to-one?I once saw two guys turn tail and run when the third was striped with a stanley and hit with a claw hammer,besides,wouldnt you rather be up before a jury on a charge than dragged into a woods Whats the old saying?I would rather be tried by 12 men than carried by six,think about it,nothing pretty about a corpse lying in the undergrowth

OC is the best of the lot,oleoresin capsicum AKA pepper spray,its not nicknamed the liquid-bullet for nothing but the effects arent pretty Not legally allowed to own or use any pepper or mace sprays in this country

When I lived in Hong Kong I was in a lager advert filmed on the MTR they needed a white guy and I guess I was it(my mate worked for the production company)right time right place,I was on PEARL I think the channel was,I am teetotal so thank god I didnt actually have to sip the stuff I am also in Jacky Chans "Drunken masters II" the bit where the fight breaks out outside the "Victorian tea-room"I played a victorian gentleman I have a mate who unintentionally appeared on "Crimewatch" on one of the CCTV clips,result?Captured

20 in an hour?You should have told him about the time we had 20 in 10 minutes,less than 10 minutes actually How big were the fish he was getting?How deeps the water?Dont want another dunking
