More of a true story than a joke (supposedly). A traveler I know was interviewed by the social welfare and the girl asked him was he working ? He said "No." She asked him did he ever work ? He said he was once a lumberjack. She asked "Where ?" "The Sahara" he replied. "There's no trees in the Sahara" she said. "Not now" he replied.

He looks in great fettle so I'll guess around 16 lbs. Were you pre-baiting for tench or bream ? Hoping to pre-bait a good swim for bream on a local river either this week or next week myself. Let us know how you got on.

You're right ,(prick LOL) I have been told I come across as a know it all. I've no problem with that, at all. Good lads disagree with me, THAT'S BRILLIANT, because that is what makes a good debate. I also get loads of messages of lads who love working terriers having a bit of "terrier talk" through PM and I love that too. Also what I love is the fact that those who always disagree with me is that they never bad mouth my terriers or my terrier work, they always just call me names !! What does that say ? The last time someone tried to bad mouth one of my terrier was Stopend and he was talki

My biggest pike (15 lbs) was on a plug of the top and it's some rush. Fishing any bait on the top ie. floating crust, dry fly etc. is IMO the nicest type of bite and all species will take off the surface if conditions are right. When your fishing a surface lure ,or, better still something like a Daddylonglegs on a long leader retrieved back towards you and you see that bow wave coming up behind it it's bloody hard to beat IMO.

I could live with myxi as I'd know come Autumn there'd still be plenty to take a few, but, this VHD has shocked me how much harm it's done.

Ahhh, I've used that one a couple of times myself, LOL.

Good name for a shop that sells something addictive.

Here in Ireland at the moment there's an emergency plan in place as the plague has been found in our native Crayfish and it's 100% fatal so it's worrying. Some folk are wondering have we now got the Signal Crayfish in Ireland but it hasn't been seen yet. BUT, if that pest does arrive in our rivers here's one lad who'll do his bit for conservation and eat as many as possible, LOL, they look delicious.

I thought he had a litter on ?

I'll make a prediction DC if you give her to your keeper mate. He'll ring you up some day to say that she's in a hole and needs to be dug to, LOL. Not telling you what you already know but I agree with those who say it takes a certain terrier to deal with cubs and they're a big NO NO when it comes to pups IMO.
-
Might be something simple gone wrong because it's in a place the pup can't clean it itself so you do the cleaning and it should clean up 100%.

Understood a lot of it but I liked yer man in the middle's Jack Russell. -
The work that you see them putting in to make those fish wheels goes to show you how reliant on the salmon those folk are. And to then feed the fish to their dogs frozen, LOL.

slipped, any hare will hit a gate you just need a dog to push it, My point being that there's a big difference between a dog coursing a hare that slips under a gate into a net and the dogs of legend that would range out and quarter a field driving the hare purposely into a net. I found it easier to leave a lad at the net and someone walk the field towards the net. No dog.

LOL, have you ever hacked or sawn through a block of frozen beef, it's bloody hard work. I don't feed my dogs food that's straight out of the freezer but manys the day I've taken food out and the day's got cooler and the meat was still more than half frozen when feeding, or I've forgotten to take it out, LOL. I got fresh beef out of my butchers fridge this morning at 11 and left it covered in a bucket 'till about a half an hour ago and it was starting to turn. It's very hard in that weather to keep flesh right, bar you have a cooler. I'd rather feed half frozen than half rotten, but, that'

I used to hunt with that singers father and the lad likes his hunting. A great voice.

A true dogman who'd do anything for his dogs. Until the poor feckers die from poisoning. LOL.

Being a female of the species it will only hear you when it wants too Bird. LOL. Sorry Kay LOL, it's a beauty and looks quiet laid back.

You do see them feeding a broth to pups and I'd say if food was scarce a broth mixed with other food types would make it go further but on the whole you mostly see them feed frozen. Also for those of us who like to feed as naturally as possible when the likes of a wolf pack does kill a large quarry like a moose then after the initial gorging most feeding would be on frozen meat as would any feeding done by scavengers afterwards. Kings advice is good but if someone was to forget to take out some flesh from the freezer it's not the end of the world to feed it frozen, if you can cut it up. Mos

Mushers in cold countries feed nothing but frozen meat and their dogs seem to do a hard job very well.

When I was a teenager and had read and heard about the legendary dogs that would quarter a field and drive a hare into a gate net I said it to a local character. He told me his lurcher could do it. So out we went and drapped a net over a gate and made our way around the back of the field (no one at the net.) and up she jumps and my mate slipped his lurcher. After a turn or two she decided enough was enough and it was time to get out of town so she made a straight line for the gate with the lurcher just following at this stage and under the gate she slipped, putting her in the bag. He was r

I was on the phone today while there was a gardening program on. So I wasn't really listening to the show but I did hear him say he grew his radishes in amongst two other vegtables that masked the smell of the radishes from pests. Sorry I can't be of more help but it might be worth looking at and the radishes he was pulling up were perfect.

When I hear of handlines I think of the 5 foot long 20 lbs plus Conger my father caught in Wicklow harbour when I was young and which my granny cooked. Dad was big into beach casting at the time but the hand line he caught the conger on was a builders line with a 4 foot wire trace on the end which had a swivel every foot. A large hook and a lump of mackerel as bait.

Same as that, always take the meat out late morning so it will be semi-frozen when time to feed. The flies wont have affected it and they eat it no problem. But have used the water in the past.
