  1. Advertise in one of the ex-pat newspapers or on one of the Costas english-speaking radio stations?Buy client mailing lists?What do you class as I know one or two guys who earn massive amounts a year but could hardly be described as professional in the conventional sense.
  2. Used to have a mist-net as a kid,got it from K.P.S Nets or Youngs of Misterton??Just been working in spain and saw several places that sold clap nets,mist nets,and spring bird-traps.
  3. Thats true mate,I lived in the far east for years,used to import hydroponic equipment from Hong Kong when I sold it here,I know the mark-up even though prices in China are climbing.
  4. I just found them for £12 each including filter,one problem,you need to order a minimum of 500 for that price
  5. Just had a quick look on a trading website,these are going for a tad under £20,minimum order 100 pieces,also saw a number with red-filters etc.
  6. Been doing some real fishing as well though Chess,just wasnt productive
  7. Used to live in East London on the Isle of Dogs,we used to lamp the parks and waste ground in that general area 3-4 fox was normal,sometimes we would get 5,we didnt used to lamp all night nor travel great distances,Coney Clucky a forum member here was out with us often,his old hancock dog took 100(approx)in a season,a number of them were city fox.London has a large population of fox,they really are brazen and laid back
  8. First decent sized pike I ever caught was on a live frog,normally however any live-bait from the water I am fishing.
  9. I caught a number of fish last week using a mono-fly I tied myself.
  10. Currently around £25 a key in Cambodia,average grade. I knew a guy before the government crackdown on legal-highs who was buying keys of mephadrone from china including the Fedex costs for £750,he was knocking them out on a perfectly legit website and making around £4750 profit often in a week,all for doing a little bit of legwork/phonework.
  11. Just did a quick search and found this snippet......... Spanish poachers use the stuff all the time along with corn,maize etc to keep them in the area
  12. Just spent three months in Spain working(going back out if we get a new boat)there are wild boar around the villa,first sign was the amount of ground grubbed and rooted up,they really make a mess of the place one method of attracting them into a certain spot told to me by an old spaniard is to empty diesel/oil onto the ground,they roll in it and the smell attracts them,I emptied some out one night and the next morning sure enough a pig had rolled and rooted around the spot Very nice pics ideation.
  13. Hitched in parts of africa,south america and asia,I once got a lift from Peshawar to Rawalpindi in the back of a truck carrying goats,and caught a lift from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan with a coca-cola delivery driver who gave me loads of free bottles during the journey

  16. I have to be honest Bogger,I have known Chris for maybe 25 year?I remember him getting his "Clucky" nickname at Southwick Village Farm,I have kicked around with him from Sutherland and Caithness down to the Home Counties,used to do a lot around Essex,Harlow etc,he is a decent guy,no pretensions,just straight down the line,what you see is what you get with him,a sound guy to be frank but he doesnt come across so well on the PC Chris,you need a parental lock on that f*cking keyboard Clucky was the guy who would buy a ferret from you for two guinea-pigs and give you change of a hamst
  17. I wonder how plummers books and articles would have fared nowadays with the internet giving everyone an instant voice
