  1. Ragworm is the preferred bait where I fish for Bass & used by everyone...But I have NEVER got them on rag. Sandeel or peeler has been successful for me, and I have also seen them taken on Mackerel and blueys.
  2. Im not experienced with Hounds, but I know a man who is...And he uses mushers wax, and swears by it. It used by the Husky dog teams. As well as that, he makes them cross a trough of chicken broth when kennelling them in the evening after a day out, they cant resist the smell and lick there paws for hours, Its supposed to work along with the wax...But as I said, Im not expert, this is just what he has told me and his hounds dont suffer from foot trouble.
  3. I would say 2 Salmon, but I stand corrected.
  4. Its not only rabbits they have left in my area, whole deer too...disgusting.
  5. As netman said...If its over 14 meshes deep I wouldnt worry about it.
  6. I spoke the man who made thet net today, and he used it to slide from the bottom to the top on hedges...But he did say it cant be used either way, and at times he used it the other way on gates.
  7. My own dingo was partial to a Hare or two in her younger days...But this was before she lived with me, So although I know it to be true I havent had the pleasure of witnessing such a catch unfortunately...
  8. I am doing a special line of Minshaw ferrets I will put you down for half a dozen.......................................... I heard you were also doing 3/16 Angora, 3/16 Chutney. 1/2 Wild Polecat and 1/2 Minshaw....?
  9. Great fish...And even better for returning it, not many anglers I know would have returned it!
  10. Sell it by the gram as a new type of cocaine
  11. Why? Surely it couldnt get worse?

  13. This one just slides from the bottom, but I have seen others he has that slide from both top and bottom. The top one is a larger washer thats kind of wedged out tight to the pole to hold the net up and then tension moves it.
  14. He used it exactly like a gate net, on gates and on hedge breaks etc, anywhere there was a run. It works just like the other style only closes up instead of across. He has some great bits and pieces at his house, a real inventor of netting gear! I hope to get a good look through and photograph it with him soon.
  15. I found an old gate net tonight in the shed from a few years ago, It was made by an old chap near me who was a brilliant gate and longnetter in his day. Its a bit different than the method now with the sliders, but still worked ok, I was wondering if anyone has used this style before? You can see the cord runs the length of the Hazel pole, with a washer attached to the and net to let it slide up.
