Cut bricks? TC

Tides are too big this weekend for spinning, although should be alright for the crab. because of the bridge works I dont think around the bridges is fishable. But the green banks down stream of the bridges can produce. Get there before the tide comes in and you should be able to find some peelers. TC

There is a sandbank, or was before they started replacing the railway bridge. That was good for spinning for an hour on the flood tide on low tides. The hen crabs will be moulting now so you should have some bass in on those. TC

Why would you want to cross them? A good GWP will do anything a lab can and a lot more. TC Tiercel,Your first point is valid,myself can't understand why some one would want to cross s gundog breed,each has their own place.. As for your second point.I wouldn't train nor expect a Lab to quarter and point nor would I expect a pointer to retrieve a runner 600yrds away over wire fences and burns... Blind retrieve over water, ok only training a young dog. But he went on to retrieve better than most Labs, and found 'lost' birds better than all the spaniels on the shoot. Sadly I lost him to l

Machynys training wall in llanelli fishes alright with crab at low water, but you can get cut off there as the tide pisses in on spring tides. You can also spin it on low tides right up to lougher bridge. TC

is this not right on the end poles? Theres nothing wrong with the end poles going through the end meshes, in fact it does a tidy job. But, using the stop net as a traditional net would mean that you have to thread them every time you set the net and that takes up a lot of time. As I said,there is nothing that says you should not, and as I have preached on here often enough it's about finding your own way, if your happy doing it, thats all that matters. TC

Deutsch Drahthaar is the German name for what we call the GWP in Germany they are just called German wirehaired no pointer in the title. I have had a couple and once you can get into how they tick your fine, but getting there is a bit of a shock to the system. They are not every ones cup of tea but I have never owned a more versitile dog. On point when working with the hawk. Pigeon shooting. Marking when ferreting. Taking a break when picking up. The first one I had I tried to train it as you would a spanial or lab and it does not work, also theycan be

Nothing wrong with pegs for stop nets. Out of curiosity why have you threaded the poles though the net? TC

Nothing come through as yet LC.

LC how many meshes were those nets? I have seen some elsewhere that were the same colour but only 1350 meshed long as opposed to the normal 1800 mesh sheets. Ropeseller on ebay was selling them aswell, he had a lot of bad feedback for them also. I have never had a net of that colour of advanced and I must be honest I have never had a net that bad off them either. I have in the past had some nets with manufacturing faults in them, but nothing that bad. What does it say on the label? PM me if you wish I would like to know where these nets originate. TC

Best had a mare of a game Hibbard did do a bit better when he came on. To be honest they never looked like winning from the very first minute when Shane was pushed into touch just short of the line. TC

Well done Wales and well done England all british final. TC

First loss hope it will be the last. TC

Best is having a mare of a game.

The twine I used was agouti's spun polyester and that takes a single knot so no need for a double knot. I have not a clue how to explain a side knot or even take photos, I will have to think about how I can show one being made. TC

You could I just find it easier to go back and fore. TC

Some times the damage is just too big to make repairing it worth while. That is when you cut out all the shredded netting and add a new piece. As with all repairs preperation is the key. You cut each side to be joined to a line of side knots then simply join all the side knots together. I have used a heavier white twine to make the join more visable. TC
-
This repair is slightly larger, but, the principles are the same. You cut back to a side knot each side of the damage making sure that each side knot is in the next row down, it should become apparent with the photos. I kept forgeting to take the photo that I wanted so had to cut off what I had done. I had already started the repair before I got any half decent photos, but still the shadows of the lines make it seem as if there is more to it than there actually is. The first photo shows how the net is cut back each side of the damage to the nearest side knot. This shot shows how

This is an easy mend but the principles are the same no matter what size the repair. A couple of things you have to learn when doing repairs is, 1. A side knot. 2. It does help if you can learn to knit right to left as you have to go back and fore across the meshes. A simple break. Cut the loose twine where marked. You then have a hole that looks like this. This is what the completed repair looks like and the sequence they were knitted. You will notice that the sequence is right to left thats just how it panned out, I could have turned the net over and done it le

Get some 4 or 6z and cut holes in it then practice mending the holes. All you need to remember is you have to cut away some meshes to make the repair easier for yourself. If you look at the drawings in the link no matter what shape the break is they alway cut away meshes so that you can complete the repair in one go. I have an old net here that is in drastic need of repair, when I get round to doing it I will take photos. TC
-
When you use the original twine that the net is made of, the mend is almost invisable with a hand made net. It's the nylon that is a bugger to mend because of the z twist twine that nylon nets are made of, when you stretch it tight it twist and because the knots are steamed when made on the loom they are almost impossible to undo. TC

I prefer to put the selvedges above where the repair is to take place on a pole, the same way as I add my selvedge meshes. That said, you have to find the holes in the first place when the net is hanked up. A good link to how to repair nets. http://gourock.com/net-repair.html TC

peg it up, a washing line full at a time I may be wrong but I think he meant how to repair the meshes? TC
