Spur-Hound

Hi Mike, Granted im not great at boat fishing.. It might be a good idea to fill the whole lot with braid? Just say for instance the whole lot went ping on a snag(touch wood-And it can happen, just ask what i did to norries reel full o braid at amble) If the reel was full with braid you could still fish on, whereas with backing on then youde need to start from scratch or use another reel... Shaun

Hi Jeepster, Seen you on the box last night... Now that derik bloke realy is funny..With all that getting taking over by a ghost Funny stuff...He should win an oscar but when you an them other lads went down to the tunnel, that looked scary, What happened down there??? ghost pumpkin ghost You looked a frightened bunch... Shaun ghost ghost ghost

Bob, Is there any fish at that bit at your front door???? Lucky sods God knows how many miles im away from the sea... Youse are a lucky lot living at the orkneys... Love the place and cant wait to get back up for another holliday Boiat skipper, Do you operate that new charter from stromness??? I been on the "welcome home" and had superb catches on all days i was out, Might need to give you a shout next time im up Shaun

IF farming and fishing is so much alike, They should be treated alike eh..?? They look after the future crop from the land but not that of the sea... Wheres the logic?

Nah Farmers have much more sence... At least they make sure there is a good breeding stock, and that they have enough young to replace the animal sthat go to the slaughetr... And when a fiekld starts to get lack of nutrients and has been raked barran, They leave it alone for a while, and look after it and make sure the soil is replenished, Hey now theres a thaught, If the goverment Pays farmers to have set aside land which allows the field to be replenished in years to come, Why cant they do that with the sea...???Pay all the skippers(and keep watch on the area ofcoarce) Makes sence, Leave an area alone for a few years and let it recouperate after a seasons raking...

Possibly, But i dont know. All depends on how big the boat is And if i have that weekend off..

I sure wont You lookin forward to your trip up here to get your 1st Spurrys and maybe a barn door?

Cya Norrie, Have a good time Darn Sarf ate...

Is it another one of the "top scottish match anglers" by any chance norrie??

Evryones up late tonight... Im in a good mood, just got my 1st sainsburys pay slip, should be able to clear a few debts in form of pints hopefully, Actualy came of abit of a shock to me, anyone any suggestions on how i should blow it (sensably) on fishin gear???

hello folks, If the fishing is anything like the orkneys it should be a laugh, and everything from jellies to spoons worked up there, so i guess ill just have a wee bash at everything, Ill need to get a few pointers on boat rigs Uncle satan. Have to admit that aint my strong point so far, Most boat rigs ive used to date are just oot the packet so to speak... Shaun

Suppose its always good to have someone to proide some extra entertainment .... Notice i am about the only one who hasnt mentioned anything about bushes yet tho... Ill get a few boomed rigs sorted Norrie, What other gear might work, I gather the good old hokkias, lumi mupets etc??? What about jellyworming perhaps on lighter tackle for some fun??? Shaun

Hi Paula, I would like to confirm, If there is room in anyones wagons for a little un from edinburgh i would be most gratefull... IF not i can get the City link bus as you say, checked out the website and considering the journey thats a realy good price, Might have to test them out next week with a trip to loch etive only 20 quids return ... Anyway could you please forward me your address so i can send you the deposit?? Cheers Shaun
