Don't know what you're missing Chesters1, you should see her in the band too, guitars spitting out flames, bagpipes too Oh, and she does play the small pipes too, I will get her to do a wee video and send you a link

I was a later starter, I was 12 and on holiday with the family in the lake district. My brother and I got the starter kits from Woolies, mine was the 5'6" spinning rod and brov's was a 6' "float" rod. I never caught anything but bro caught a tiny trout. For my next birthday my Granddad bought me A 12' Diawa 12' glass float rod which I used to catch my first fish, it was a 1/2lb stocked rainbow trout. I then started catching perch too, and I was bitten by the bug. I still have all my rods (even the wee first rod), I just don't get the time to go these days.

Sportsman, that was some deal. The S2 should do what you want... and more. My first Dslr was an S1 and it was great. I have enlarged a picture from a 6mp Nikon D70 to 35" x 6'4" and it was great quality, so you should have ne problems. I just got a new Nikon D3, the results are stunning

Having been away for a while I only found out from Eltons email. Really sorry to hear this. As a stalwart of the forum and friend to many Mr Wiggly will be missed

That looks really nice John, better than a lot of hotels I've stayed in... looks like you could almost fish from the door

Sounds like it was fun, wish I could have made it over. Did anyone get a big flattie out?

Nick me old buddy, I would love to come over but I have a problem.... WORK..... staff guys get holidays, this is when I get busy, good in one way... you know the rest. Lets hope for next time. How about an update on whats happening...??? Did anyone get out fishing today? Has the bar sold out yet? Did Shaun get up? Is Norrie sober ?

Hey Linda, I will try to make it over sometime, its just weekends are hard for me... hope it all goes well this weekend

Reading all this makes me really wish I was able to make it... have a great time guys

Sorry I missed your birthday, hope you had a good one, and at leats it isn't far to stagger from the pub to your boat for a kip. See you sometime soon

Davey, She looks a beaut, I will be up as soon as I have a couple of days and get some pics done for you, (if you want that is). See ya soon buddy

John, I will have a look for it, should be about somewhere and I will stick it on... now where is it???????

Someone had better let Jean know you lot are going up then so she can get more supplies in, I know how some of you enjoy your food Looks like it could be a good weekend.

Can I be greedy and go for both please... ?

Norrie, I was in the next bay to your right, just behind the girl that does the "research". It's a wonder we didn't bump into each other at the kebab shop over the road

Norrie, I was there on the 31st, didn't get a chance to chat to Jon but gave him a wave, wish I'd known you were there...

I saw him at halloween too, where were you Norrie, didn't see you. He was on another forum a few days ago too. I'll try to text him later to see how he is.

Hey John, Great report and it was good to fish with you this year (that was my last time out ). Hope we can meet up sometime next year, I just have to see if you still have the Scotland flag on your car

Wish I could come over to this but I have a wedding that weekend. I hope everyone has a great time, looking forward to the reports.

I'm kinda glad I wasn't there... I can't swim ...

Very impressive, looks very good I have to say though... I'm worried about Nicks boots

Hope you all have a great time guys, might make it over for a day during the week... I will try

Ken, I knew it reminded me of something and just as I remembered you had beat me to it wonder if that where they got the idea from?

Awww, ain't it cute What size was it? I haven't even seen one of these before, how big do they get and are they common?

No worries mate, you know where I am
