  1. Awesome lads, must be a first to be all over the UK and Ireland?
  2. Looks amazing, mental to see it all over the UK!
  3. Daughter just sent me pics of it grom our place earlier, Kev, I go away for a week and miss something I've always wanted to see! Lol
  4. The rod I normally use is a 4 piece made by Maver, not sure of model.. I use ugly sticks on the boat, 12lb and 15lb class had them for at least 20 years and still not much better for light to medium boat fishing imo I've borrowed one off a mate for this trip as its a bit shorter and good for off the kayak, he brought it in Singapore, will check the make but its been nice to use...had a barracuda off the beach tonight, only about 3lb or so but good scrap on light gear..
  5. Love a bit of sushi and sashimi Short rib beef rendang
  6. That would be the plan mate, I'd never fully retire, there are loads of things I love about work, plus I've got a few varied things on the go...bit I want yo do less hours and do more things for myself...I guess finding the balance is key..
  7. Similar plans mate, grafted my bollocks off to try and get to that position, 3 years left for me... mind you all the lads reckon I'll still be at it at 80, hopefully I prove then wrong! Lol
  8. I'm trying too mate...fuckers won't leave me alone though! Lol
  9. Amazing what 1 day of sun does to the place! Lol
  10. There's worse places to catch up on a bit of work!! Lol
  11. Bang on, exactly how most see it I reckon
  12. Maje that closer to 20%, that don't seem right to me?
  13. Mis identification, it was a yellow Jack...
  14. Not quite as impressive, took the wife for a paddle on a double kayak, a yellow tail snapper (I think) Had another follow off a very good looking fish.. Back out in the morning...brother may have set the bat too high though lol
  15. Well we've had blue fin tuna for a good number of years, and I'm hearing that Albecore Tuna are now being off out coasts, if they really start to run it will be amazing on light spinning gear catching 10 or maybe 15lb tuna... hopefully then the GTs follow! Lol
  16. Probably half an hour or so, went like he'll!! On 4 inch savage lure trying to catch a few snapper ..saw a load of terns diving and small tuna breaking surface, just couldn't keep up on the kayaks, done a few miles chasing them! Lol arms are killing today.. That fish was the famous last cast and probably only 400 yards off the beach, he's always been a spawny git, had a near 20lb turbot when we Alderney years ago, ended up in the Sea Angler with it.. got that lucky streak...the twat!! Lol
  17. Tell me about it Joe, he's walking around like a Cheshire cat!! Lol
  18. Yes mate, always do.. Couple of 4 piece travel rods and a load of lures...he had a small snapper as well.. I blanked and I'm supposed to be the fisherman! Lol
  19. Having a week in Antigua, with my brother and our wives...we don't like sitting about much, so grabbed some kayaks and had an hour or so out fishing on them... 30 minutes of that was taking up by him pulling this beauty in, Giant Trevally... gave it to the local beach lads, they were made up...what a start to the holiday!!
  20. I know mate, bit of a shit joke...
  21. Done some huge Coldstores in the past mate, steel, cladding, roofing etc.. plus some supermarkets, mainly tescos... out of the big main builder shit now, not my game anymore...this is a big job but great client, 2 weekly pay, materials when they drop, never feel too exposed... Life's a doddle with a cladboy and crane though, you'd be lucky to do 200m2 on this pitch of roof handling them, put on around 700m2 yesterday, if wasn't for the rooflights you'd be looking at 1000 - 1200m2 a day...keeps the boys happy as they all live area!! Lol
  22. Big lump on yesterday, sets us up nicely for a week in the sun!
  23. Lost your rag... I presume you mean temper and not your worms!
