Newt

One wonders if he was booted because of what he said or because the show was in need of huge wads of free publicity.

Children can be a blessing in this day & age. For instance, my "smartphone" seems to be much smarter than I am but when I need help, one of the kids or grandkids is always willing & able to sort things out.

I think that for Republicans who voted Trump in as the primary winner, the reaction afterwards might have quite a bit in common with the reaction of many Brits who voted in favour of Brexit .

Hi and welcome to Anglers' Net. This is a tough question with lots of whereas, what, and so on, plus the fact that the reel is designed for a bit heavier use than is the rod. The ideal breaking strength (b/s) of the line (and mono is probably your best option to start with) depends on the weight of the lures you plan to use. Too heavy line and a light lure will cast about 4-5 meters. Too light line and you stand a good chance of a break off when casting. Given that the rod suggests 5.5Kg b/s as the maximum and the reel offers line capacity beginning at 8Kg, you should probably go for a line with about 6-7 Kg b/s. If you plan to use heavy lures, you need a different rod. The same is true if you will be fishing snaggy or weedy areas where you may need to bully a fish away from obstructions.

1. Wouldn't have happened. Groups that baptize infants either sprinkle a bit of water or a few drops of oil on the head. 2. Wouldn't have worked. A reflex called the bradycardic response makes babies hold their breath and open their eyes when submerged in water.

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It is only difficult for others around you. It is much the same when you are stupid. We do seem to have more than a few folks who are probably not as smart as a bird.

"Millions of years before humans evolved", magpies were probably still light boned flying reptiles doing what reptiles do - eating smaller critters of all descriptions.

Re: pictures - it was the "new member" thing that blocked you but if you have photos on an internet site that allows sharing, you can post a link. Thanks for the description/explanation. Note to any who aren't familiar with US angling terms: Drag = clutch Spinning reel = fixed spool reel

A little descriptive info and maybe even a photo or a drawing might attract more interest. I've been fishing (mostly fresh water) for nearly 70 years and am not at all sure what you are offering. Chances are I'm not the only one.

Dear Ma and Pa, I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all the places get filled up. I was restless at first because you get to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. But I am getting used to sleeping late now. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your bunk and shine some stuff. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing. Men got to shave but it is not that bad, because there's warm water here. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and, Elmer you can always sit by the city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much. We go on "forced marches," which the platoon sergeant says is necessary to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A "forced march" is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in big trucks. The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none. This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting awards for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes. Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with them boys back home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake . I only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8" and near 300 pounds dry. Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in. Your loving daughter, Alice

Hi and welcome to Anglers' Net. Some of the gear and methods have been improved but fish are still fish and the old ways still work. What sort of fishing and waters do you like?

Hopefully the cat learned its lesson but I wouldn't bet on it. Did you make a note of the treatment for next time?

Not really sure if anyone on the forum fishes the Anglesey area. Hopefully someone does and can give you some information.

Hi and welcome to Anglers' Net.

With the kids, its well worth watching. At the professional level, its like baseball and right up there with "watching paint dry" and "watching grass grow" as far as excitement.

Phone - I read most of the main portion of text (but none of the other references) and it ain't bad. Probably well worth wading through the text. although the upshot is pretty much, "meybe it works, meybe it don't".

Hi Les and welcome to Anglers' Net. You'll have better luck starting a new topic in the coarse fishing section where more members will see it. Just include kayaking & Essex river fishing in your title.

Ye gods & little catfishes - you'd need to have a large fellow assigned to guard the machine & tackle box if you ever decided to park that thing near a stream and go fishing. On the other hand, if you could afford a £2.4K machine for your fishing auto, you could probably afford the guard's salary. I wonder if it comes equipped with all wheel drive and a good wench in case access to the swim is a bit mucky.

Temps in the 30s are way warm for you folks aren't they? Hows the humidity?

Hi and welcome to Anglers' Net. Fishing should certainly be a great way to get some mild exercise and some great relaxation.

Hi and welcome to Anglers' Net.

Well done Barry. I imagine your reply has driven the original poster to elsewhere. It certainly would have had that effect on me as a new poster to an angling web site. He simply wanted to know where to toss a lure to catch a bass he could enjoy catching and maybe eat.
