  1. Been having great fun with Elton's little (actually not so little) search engine. Found this article from the Dorset Mag which I know a few of you will find of interest (& as it's been pretty quiet on here today I thought it warranted a thread of it's own!) Chris
  2. I've seen similar things with Casting at the Sun - The Medlar Edition going on eBay for over 60quid when it is still available new,from the publisher for less than this! MAD Chris (I see the Witcher still hasn't reached its reserve )
  3. Got over 50000 for Grayling including some VERY interesting looking sites - this looks a real winner Elton.... Chris
  4. Not a sign yet - seen some frogs not a single egg though - yet my mum's pond is completely chocker - think I shall be 'borrowing' some if none appears soon! 2 years ago we had spawn in our pond on 31st Jan! Chris [ 22. March 2003, 08:22 AM: Message edited by: Chris Plumb ]
  5. Anyone want to bid for a rubber bead? Bead on eBay Actually - I know who's put this up - bit of an in-joke on the IAC Chris
  6. Umm - real collectors pieces from a great illustrator - I wonder what the reserves are Chris
  7. I should imagine that you ought to get a junior one - providing you do it before you're 17. Best to check though - give 'em a ring on 8070 1662 662 Chris
  8. Beat me too it Dunk!! - Another raker here and this sounds like the type of lake where it should work a treat. I've had great action with cockles (Usually fished in a cocktail with maggs.)and I intend to give black pudding a try this June. Chris
  9. Gotta agree with David here Abebooks is now ALWAYS my first port of call when checking out the price of books. Acts as a useful point of refrence if you're bidding on eBay as well... Chris
  10. Swivels for me too - I fish mainly fast (ish) rivers swivels help to eliminate line twist... Chris
  11. Err - still using mine as a book mark Chris
  12. Upto 22% Oh what fun! Chris
  13. Cheers guys - your making me blush. < > Elton's got another 4 or 5 from me waiting to be put up and I've got another 3 on my machine at home which I'll send when I'm happy with them. For nearly all the reviews I've done I've tried to get the books to 'speak for themsleves' by quoting a para or two from them. Glad you like my efforts - I must admit I've rather enjoyed me-self over the last month or so. It's been the ideal opportunity to re-acquaint my self with some great writing. Let's have a few more of you contributing and we can turn this section into a great resource. Chris
  14. Many of the ones I fish are closed because they are within the boundaries of an SSSI. Chris
  15. Glen - must be somefink about social work Chris
  16. Yeah - brilliant aint it? - got it just a couple of weeks back - was only in Waterstones to get a few books (& freebies) for the kids. I sneaked it in to our basket - real glad I did! Chris
  17. Err - have you got all the others I sent? (Thought you might put up the BB review before this one!) Chris
  18. I always thought it was a Parliament of Rooks... Chris
  19. And so another season finishes (PLEASE don't start another close season debate here ) How was it for you? Good, bad, indifferent? Did you achieve your targets? (did you even have any?) I set out to break 3 PB's this year. The Tench one fell early on but the Barbel disappointed and that 3lb Grayling is still to grace my net! (Still there's always next year!) On the plus side I had a PB Roach and Dace, caught the same day, and like my Tench were had on a centre-pin. And a 1½lb Grayling from the Avon on the penultimate day of the season made it 1lb+ Grayling from 5 different rivers this season (have to make it 6 next year!) So what trials and triumphs did YOU have? Chris [ 15. March 2003, 11:59 AM: Message edited by: Chris Plumb ]
  20. Well done Slyder bet you're glad you joined up!! Chris
  21. Well I've got 3 days off! Just back from a morning on the Kennet - no barbel but had a brace of fine, fat chub with combined weight of 9½lb. Avon tomorrow and back on the Kennet,Friday. Chris
  22. And more will be with you at the weekend - got no excuses it will be the close season! Chris
  23. No - the answer is COAL. Chris
