OTIB

It's a non event seller will not pay that. But looking at the bid history it was not just a one off but several silly high bids. I 'won' a hedge trimmer described 'As New' it wasn't and had a hard life, plus the seller couldn't start it. The deal was cash on collection, I declined despite the seller saying I was legally bound....I told him to behave the unit was not As New and it was faulty, I contacted ebay and the transaction was cancelled. I did buy a real bargain for nearly half the price that was almost new and is a dream to use. Legally bound my A$$.

Well yes...but I never target the things, but they do me, had a couple of charmers last night at about 3 lb

Sell the car, and if he quibbles about the price and beats you down stick, another pint in the tyre well. It could have been worse I know a tackle dealer that bought some glug wholesale in 5 ltr bottles, when split in transit on the back seat of his new car, could not get rid of the smell, or the car.

Well if anyone comes up to me when I am fishing, and pretends to be nice, he is going in!!!!

Bit harsh, especially when casters cost more. But simple rule is find the day that the shop get's a new delivery and buy then, of course in the summer that will allow you to only fish in a narrow window, but at least they will be fresh. Look for the black feeding spot, if it is there they should be fine, or get some road kill, put in a dark place (outside), and wait for a 'blow'. Some shops will negotiate a cheaper price for older maggots. What would I put in room 101 Angling Bin? Pre packed angling kits that Mat Hayes is now marketing, and Mat Hayes for selling out. ,

John Wilson, the master, Jack Hargreaves was fantastic, but to much potterng about in that old shed.

I find that puting down a bed of hemp before fishing should get the fish feeding confidently, well sometimes,, what I do is than introduce my hook bait and resist from adding anymore hemp until the peg 'dies', I have pre baited other pegs so move to them after re baiting the peg I am leaving to return later. If the fish are a bit spooky, and Roach are, firing hemp in over a feeding shoal can be the kiss of death.

You need a Stonfo PTFE bush, plenty on ebay or pop down your local.

Sounds like a Otter kill or Mink, Otter just eat the more nutritious vital organs and leave the rest. Fox will clean up the rest, the thought that Fox will catch fish iintruiging but probably not realistic.
