What makes me a smart arse when the other smart arse was saying American were stupid when the dam was in Canada? Seems to me that if anyone is a samrt arse is the guy with the stupid fishj lists.

Yeah, butterfish, used to catch heaps of them in rock pools at Hartlepool when I was a kid.

Many years ago I used to fish for cod during November nights on Walton Pier, I used to get a few too. I haven't been there for years, are they still caught there?

I think I would be The Phantom not only does he strike fear into the hearts of baddies, but I quite like Diana Palmer too!

What do the Americans have to do with it, I understood that the dam was in Alberta which is in Canada.

Click on the first in the list. http://www.google.com.au/search?q=french+m...lient=firefox-a

Can't help you with grass carp I am afraid, but if you don't want to catch carp, come carp fishing with me!

Strange that Caster Semenya is an anagram of "Yes Secret Man"

Well you got that right!

What Vagabond says about keeping line is true. Kept out of sunlight it will keep for years. I put the spools in those metallic packets that so many snacks come in these days. If the top is sealed with a clamp or rubber band, it is kept in the dark and dry and will last for ever. My favourite line for spinning or deadbaiting in heavily weeded waters is one that is UV reflective. It glows like a bit of purple cart rope in the sunshine and you can see just where your line is in relation to the reeds etc. For normal ledgering or float fishing any good neutral coloured line is good, though if I am going to fish at long distances I prefer a low stretch line. For bottom bumping at sea, there is nothing better than braided line, though I always use a neutral coloured mono leader of 15 - 20 feet. For lure fishing in the sea, I use some line I was given many years ago. It is a yellow Stren line. I look after it and it has served me well but again I use a neutral coloured leader.

How right you are Elton. At times I think that the government is trying to score brownie points with the terrorists. Not only do they give them time off their sentences, they welcome them into the country and swamp them with benefits! :angry:

All out for 332! I would have hoped for at least 350 on that pitch. Still, those damned colonials have been known to fail on the best of pitches - perhaps today, what?

Thanks for that interesting article.

Aggh! Anderson has gone with only one more run on the board! Less than 6 minutes into play!

First ball is just going to be bowled. Let's hope the tail can give us something that can be defended! The time of my postings are not accurate because each of my posts are still being checked by the moderators at the moment.
