what about the cliche "3 second memory" of fish? Surely they would forget the pain as soon as they had even experianced it anyway.

I doubt it would, are u talking about the line being wrapped around the float when the float rubbers are in place? Even if it would, it would b only for a short time, movement in water compared air would ensure that there is less movent that u might imagine?

I find sweetcorn is the best method of pre-baiting for tench, its cheap 2! Raking the swim is important, and tench love the disturbance.

Irish anglers swear by it in their groundbait

42 kbps on 56k not bad me thinks

I used 2 do alot of airsoft shooting in teams with my friends, running around a forest at night all the camo gear.. Only light was torches and it was (&^@" scary at times Great fun and gives one an idea of how the special forces work, only they dont do it for fun

I live down in Fivemiletown if u know it? Direct from Belfast more or less on the M1, do alot of fishing on the Erne and nearby lakes. If u fancy commin down here let me know..

shimanos repair service and general quality of goods is second to none in my opinion.

I belive a really great angler comes with years of practice and learning from other anglers on the bank. No matter how many books and magazines you read, its going out and observing/doing it yourself that gets the results, especially in match angling. Im 18 and fish matches regularly on the Irish circut. I have learned alot of the skills I now know from an angler called Tony Kersley whome I greatly admire and think without a doubt hes one of the best anglers around. I would personally think that this angler is gifted, but he says himself that it all comes with persistance, confidence and time.

Command and conquer red alert 2 is a great tactical game, war game really lots of strategies and VERY addictive when played on the internet against other people. Try it and i promise u wont b dissapointed.

17 here, although some say im older

Drennan.. Their tackle is such good quality. [ 13. October 2002, 05:07 PM: Message edited by: FishinMad2001 ]

Was catching 2 and a half pound roach by the dozen on the Erne 2 weeks ago, there common place at this time of the year on certain parts of the Erne/Shannon system. Although thats not to say a 2 and a half pound roach isent a bloddy good fish! Well done, and keep it up.

Is that a mobile phone to the left?
