Cheers Craig, the wife's uncle and a cousin have boats plus he cousin we're staying with has offered to take me kayaking.. So I'm hoping between them they might put me on a fish or 2 lol... Can't wait to get over I've only been Geurnsey once, but loved it.. And Alderney was a great weekend.. Do you do much shore fishing on Jersey mate or all off the boat??

Your probably right mate, my lad loves fishing (sea or freshwater) but ill teach him how I learnt, the only difference is he's starting on ponds and not the canal, I'll have him on the river though this year ( once it's open) and just fish with him fishing the stick, there's loads of dace and some decent chub to be had that will keep him happy.. I worked in our tackle shop for a while when I was 17, the boss ( Geoff Salisbury) fished all the big matches back then, he'd more often than not take me out of the shop for the day to " give him a hand", I'd make up stick float rigs on the way to Eve

I like Pollack, we get a lot off the wrecks down here... Beer battered and fried not much different to cod, Roll in flour, salt and pepper and fry in the pan with butter, parsley and dill In the oven tinfoil with butter, salt pepper parsley etc Cube it and use it in a fish pie It's a decent alround white fish mate..

How true that is mate, fishing like everything else in life seems to be being lost to the technological world ( I'm not knocking development, but I love the traditional sense of fishing), we would be up before first light to get to the best spots for the bream on our canal, that point when the lights just starting to come and you can see the bubbles and fish turning was magical.. We'd fish Tiverton canal for the tench, again first light and they'd be blowing like hell, you have to right against the Lilly pads to get a bite then it's hold on to keep them out, I was lucky to go to some big mat

Ferreting this year my mate brought along, venison and Stilton sandwiches with recurrent jelly they were bloody lovely... -
As everyone's said, you've done a great job there mate, you should be very proud of yourself... Age means nothing if your a decent bloke your a decent bloke.... And you come over as a very decent bloke.. Keep up the good work mate..

Gonna Give Fishing Ago By Myself (Amatuer) Help
NEWKID replied to yorkshirenath's topic in Fresh & Salt Water Fishing
Go and have a walk along the canal mate and have a yap to the lads fishing, watch them a while and see what they're using/ catching etc If its a standard canal start off fishing fairly light and as close to features as you can ( lily lads, rushes, overhanging trees etc) they all hold fish... I prefer fishing a pole on the canal but you could use a float set up, plumb the depth properly, you want to be just on the bottom 9 times out of 10, use maggot or caster and feed little and often a a few maggots every cast, ground bait can be good on lots of canals... If your after perch don't forget the -
You could maybe have a bit of fun down the side of the pier with your ledger rod, fish simple paternoster style rigs ( hooks above the weight) and drop till you touch bottom, fish with hooks from size 8 up to 1's and small strips of fish ( mackeral or herring) rag worm, even mussel or prawns can work.. There should be small wrasse, pollack, coal fish, pout maybe little flatties ( I don't know Whitby pier I'm going on others I've fished)... If there's mullet in the harbour these can be worth a shot on waggler style gear and bread, use mashed bread as a ground air to attract them.. If you've g

Whats Your Favorite Game Dish To Get Out Of The Field??
NEWKID replied to gouldy257's topic in General Talk
Venison loin ( better then fillet steak IMO), Fillet out a rabbit, stuff with apricot wrap in cling film, boil for 10 mins then fry in butter with thyme and rosemary... -
Your right Malt, they're both infuriating.. When Nani's on his game he's unplayable.. Unfortunately those games aren't regular enough, Anderson could be quality, but he's not.. I'm looking forward to seeing how Cleverly progresses next season, plus Kagawa has looked a decent player... Add in players like Jones and Smalling and UTD are putting together a decent squad again..

Haha that's a cracker mate, My sister in law was round my parents house having roast once, they had not long been together and she was about 15.. My dad said "do want some horse radish sauce" no way" she replies "that's cruel on horses" lol.. My wife thought a fly drive meant you drive your cars on the plane ( like a ferry) lol

How funny a fanny looking at fannies.... :-) That's more polite than if Craigy was here.... It'd be a "Kunt looking at Kunts" lol

The same here lab, I wrote to David Attenborough when I was at school asking how to get into a career with animals/ zoology etc .. He took the time to write me a letter back, explaining what qualifications etc I would need, the man is a legend in my eyes that proved to me how decent he is.. Unfortunately I realised quite early that my hobbies and career could never pay enough ( I worked in a fishing shop for a while, travelled around to big matches, shows etc, the boss designed rods for Normark and later Carbon tec, I helped with his testing) I loved it but was skint lol Onto the building

Won today 3-1 and last Friday 5-3 ( after being 3-1 down), can't seem to shift the niggly hamstring strain, so I'm reduced to somewhere between a walk and a slow jog lol.. Really enjoying it, back in the centre of midfield and had a little grin today when one of the other team shouted that old boys running it in there.. ( thank god for the 20 year old beside me doing the running).. Good couple of sessions afters as well with the lads, off out to a 40th for an old player tonight.... Roll on next season lol

Well said Malt Chicarito was important to this years success he scored some really important goals, his movement and finishing us up there with the best, unfortunately for him he's at a club with one of the very best in RVP if fit he will always be first choice, and I think RVP's best partner is Rooney.. They play the game differently and make different runs which works.. I really hope Chicarito stays.. But if he has to go with Ronaldo coming in the opposite direction...... Oh well.. Lol Get, Leighton Baines as well

I arranged the trip to Alderney about 10 years ago now, it was brilliant, brother ended up with his pic in sea angler for a big turbot.. Went to Guernsey a few years back for a family wedding but no chance to fish, this time though it will be every day.. Your right Banter it's a lovely place to go.

Sorting the gear out today and I realised I've still got a few Stan Bennet wagglers, in my opinion these were the best floats made... Anyone else use them? Anyone know if you can still buy them?

Dream Fishing by Trevor Housby, that man lived the dream he fished all over the world for everything from trout to marlin... One chapter he was dropped off on an air strip in Mexico waiting for a connecting flight to his fishing destination , he had limited gear with him and a bit of bait, he spent the few hours on the beach beside the air field... He waded out to cast and sat back on the beach and waited, after a few hours a spinner shark took his bait and he managed to beach it... Then he caught his flight to go tarpon fishing, somewhere desolate in mangrove swamps... He paints the picture

Chalomine lotion.. Anything from chicken pox to nettle stings my mum would slap that stuff on me lol... Baw, Songs are unreal for it, I listen to absolute 90's on the radio a bit every song reminds of something from the good days lol.. Anything from Dolly Parton to Meat Loaf reminds of bits of my childhood and Bruce Springstein reminds me of when my dad would pick us up for weekend he'd play, born to run or the river, full blast

What was the one in a half black half white bottle, I used to bath in it lol. Was it jazz or something?Yeah that was jazz mate... It was either Jazz, kuros, or joop in school.... The smell of cow parsley reminds me of fishing the canal, certain ground baits ( sensas red magic) and I'm back on the canal skimmer bashing, dew on the grass... Do you ever just get a smell of something ( not even sure what it is sometimes) and it takes you back to a certain moment/ time, I love it when that happens...

Got to agree with that Paulus We have far too many leeches in this country, when you can make more sat at home pumping out kids than going to work there's something wrong. As an employer of 15 people ( plus subbie gangs), I know that you have to pay a fair wage to not only motivate but to make people want to work as opposed to sit home and sponge.... My apprentice's wage is boosted up every week to make it fair, I have another young lad who was on salary, I reviewed his wage to hours a coupe of weeks ago and felt it wasn't fair, he's now on an hourly rate above the minimum and is happy...

I was 18 and a woman who was about 40 at the time was right into me,she was the sister of a good friend of mine and married to a bloke who worked the doors in Torquay, I ended up back her house one night, her husband was working and she was like a woman possessed, I'm not joking she was mental... I'm trying my best, all action.. No technique... The whole time shitting myself her husbands gonna run in and catch us... All the while she's shouting " fck me fck me".. I'm thinking I am for fcks sake... Lol My mate went back with an older woman one night, he was no more than 17 she was a hag as

Surely just "ruffling the feathers" of the big boys is a start, making them think is better than any "smaller" party has really achieved ( from what I can remember), As a lot on here.. and generally.. I'm not over clued up on politics, but I can see and hear, and pretty much know that whats been going on for the last decade or more is not something to make you happy or even proud.... the honest working man has been shafted for too long, if nothing more than forcing some changes, with out the need for riots or worse is a step in the right direction in my book...
