i use the permanent chemical lights...last for 10 years...and you can just simply bind them on with a bit of gaffer tape. Cost about £7 but last for a decade The green ones are better than the blue.

400yds...ok so i dont win on distance...but theres a pub on the way there !

i was paraphrasing what i interpret to be the attitudes of the fishing industry... it seems they are quite happy to debunk the royal commissions survey as being out of date by saying their catches are still good, but then extracting that they are sustainable without actually surveying to see if they actually are. It seems the industry will fish until their nets are empty and that only then commercial pressures will be the ones that they have to respond to. Ben Bradshaw seems to have completely sided with this approach, favouring the fishing industry's interest over that of the livestock persued.

the thing is, although pain in the arses like that really should be just put on their own little island with the rest of their ilk, to rely on a piece of rope as your only escape method is a little foolhardy...if you need rope, take one, NEVER rely on one being there. Reminds me a little of people going up snowdon in trainers "cos theres a path" and then finding siad path frozen over and useless on the way down. Go equipped for the worst, not the best. fwiw, it could have been anyone as well, even the council...perhaps the rope wasn't safe. just playing devils advocate...theres probably few other things that will rile people up than being falsly accused by the people he isnt' happy with (for whatever misguided reason) in the first place.

i'd say turbot we've had a few tiddlers turn up around poole in the past few years. the way to know for sure is to count the fin spines

ah...wierd rfarn@gotadsl.co.uk thanks

lmao

the amount of bait required will always be too much if the fish don't bite and will never be enough when they do. The fish will start to bite in a frenzy approximately 5 mins before you should be packing up, having just confirmed that you will be home in 30 mins for dins to the other half on the mobile.

did they fight well or did u miss the strike? mmmn plaice...

http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk/ used them several times, always no problem

hiya, did u get my mail about the logo? it's just so i can sling something in and get the page mocked up

i meant pointless as a prosecution...a waste of everyones time and money. Jobsworths.

this is the knot i use for a normal shockleader onto mono line...its called a windwire...used for wire normally but works very well for normal line...and casts very well due to the knots low profile. however i use the albright that Jim found for braid to leader as the differences in diameter between braid and leader causes problems with the windwire method when retreving through the top eye.

yeh, watch out for those and the ones on their gill covers...buggers get me nearly every time. Still waiting for my double figure bass...

I have done mauritius...don't know if your looking there at all. I'm also interested in the set up in the maldives...basically the same thing your after. Any info would be useful to me here

from shore or boat?

good news, according to the man on the end of the phone I can run the site from my space as a seperate entity I have to do some under the bonnet stuff...but I think i'm capable. The only stopper is the existing URL, which i need to find out what it is and get transfered if possible. In the meantime I can make a start on basic structure and just make an temporary address

if i didnt work for myself that would be the ailment i would fall under... "i've got a dose of calmdayflatsee"... say it fast enough and it sounds medical..

no worries art, i know how that goes... i've got space, i dont know about repointing your URL to it, but i'm sure that can be done. If anyone wants to PM me about it if their up for it then fine...think its got something daft like 20gb/month bandwidth etc...if anything we can always put test pages up. Sound ok? whos the man with the plan?

tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the planets on the water as the earth rotates...the moon has the greatest effect being closest, but the sun has an effect as well. Springs are when you get the sun working with the moon, so normally when you see a full moon they'll be springs and likewise when its a new (blank moon). Neaps are the opposite and sometimes you dont see the moon because it may be out of view which will diminish its effect on the water near you. Around the solent you also get a backlash tide caused by the water moving around the solent and around the channel...there is a lag and this changes with the tide, normally combining on springs, but offset on neaps to give a double high...consequently there isnt much water height movement on neaps around the solent. Fwiw they can be any time of the day...just like you can see the moon any time of the day. [ 11. October 2004, 12:58 PM: Message edited by: gonefishingatwork ]
