  1. took my son and nephew to one of my spots on the north cornish coast on a recent boys fishing week and all they did was complain on the way down.
  2. Above post is the letter i have received from B.I.R.D. i know its a shit photo but i hope all you old uns can all read it. It has taken an age to get here but that is entirely my fault. when i sent the cheque i forgot to send my name and address for them to reply to.[im a thick cnut]. As you can see they were really pleased as were the friends of mine whos lad they are helping. I would also like to thank everyone again. Give yourselves a pat on the back anyone who helped and/or contributed.
  3. do you know which kind o mullet they are this can be quite important to the tactics you require. spinning is great on thin lips but rarely works on thick lipped. these tend to be caught more on bread or small pieces o mackerel. you can catch both on static harbour rag tactics and also golden greys will take these. whichever ones they are they will do your head in. good luck not swearing.
  4. how did you like the rod kev. ive got another two in the shed.
  5. to be honest mate wherever you stay you are not a long way rom the coastline at one place or another. im biased about the padstow area because i live there but me and the mrs travel to all the coasts to do various walks on the coastpath.
  6. i reckon young newkid would have won it but his dad kept sending geths kids to distract him.
  7. im back online now but im having to use an ethernet cable as the code i need to put in to connect to wireless has both the keys which are knackered on my laptop in it. im sat on a chair beside the door as the cable is only two metres long. anyway after all my whittling about the weekend i thoroughly enjoyed it and it was great to see everyone again. it was just like meeting old friends even though i had only met everyone at last years comp. people who dont come just dont know what their missing. im glad everyone enjoyed it. and would like to thank you all or making the effort to get there,
  8. thanks geth. good to meet you. see you later in the year.
  9. sea conditions may not suit kayaking on saturday [biggish swell predicted] so it may be a shore trip. anyone interested bring a pair o walking boots as i may take you on an adventure.
  10. yes i need a hand digging 300 lug worms about 3oclock i you wouldnt mind lol.
  11. just received a reel sent by dido.1 in the post ,so a big thank you to him and also thanks to lacko or his donation on the just giving page.
  12. Sat Navs don't have local knowledge for local people Cheers, D. no thats why i gave the directions because satnavs will send them down the lanes and into st merryn crossroads which is known locally as wacky races junction at this time o year. just another bit o directions to people not using sat nav. as you get near exeter and the m5 to a30 exits do not take the irst one which is a30 east. you need to continue about 2 miles to the next one which is a30 west.
  13. its already sorted i have a riend with an ice machine. i have one large poly box and may be able to borrow something else to keep ice in but i anyone has anything suitable it would be appreciated. at the minute i am running about like a loon trying to get everything sorted plus dig 300 lugworms a day and do 300 crab traps a day so i appologise i i dont put everything up that is done. i have cleared all the pegs and made another 5 so that we can all get round the same lake. when people are here we can have a walk round and decide between us which are best to use. hope i have cleared enough o
  14. assumed most people would use a satnav so wouldnt need broader directions [jim excluded lol] .
  15. dont know what time people are thinking o travelling down but the a30 at the moment is a nightmare every weekend due to roadworks at the temple section. dont know i dytkos has posted it elsewhere but it may be worth leaving the a30 onto the a395 and coming that way. all depends what time you hit it as to how bad it will be. when you get down here the easiest route to the lakes is to head in to padstow and just as you approach it you will see a sign saying newquay b3276 then one saying newquay 14. turn here and then just stay on this road 1.6 miles.you will go down a steep hill, at the botto

    let him get on with it.
  17. i picked up loads o bacon that dytkos has provided and 20 litres o cider. im going to go and get some pasties next week.we should be able to catch mackerel on saturday i we can ish the sea.
  18. not in cornwall it isnt ,its every tourist who crosses the devon border in the school holidays.
  19. is that by you sitting on it beside the river dove waiting to get a barbel bite arch.
  20. yes walshie the ield is directly across the road. it is maybe ten yards up the road to the gateway rom the car park but you wont be able to see the tents as were hidden behind a hedge. unless youre driving something very low slung you will get into the ield. i would bring a rollmat or mattress as its not exactly bowling green level. can people who have one also bring an unhooking mat to use in the match, thanks.
  21. whilst i agree with you about overpayed men at the top o the council, they are not payed by your council tax. neither are any other council workers. my mrs works or the council , yes she gets a good wage but she worked damn hard to get where she is and works damn hard now. she hasnt had a pay rise or 6 years unlike the councillors who vote themselves one every time and most o them do nothing to earn it. dont know about other rnli areas but cornwall council have a contract with the rnli to provide care on the beaches and pay them to provide this so here in cornwall it is not entirely charity
  22. you can get the car in and out but i dont think there will be room or all the cars. we can park in the ishery car park which is 20 yards away.
