If Tiger Nuts are not nuts, why are they banned? Pete

Eastleigh and District Angling Club have a couple of waters in Winchester. Have a look at www.eadac.org.uk Pete

Yes, I would think that the Korum day shelter is one of the best at a realistic price. Pete

And, if you cannot wait to get to a proper toilet, please take something to dig a little hole and bury your cr*p. Pete

Hi Chris. I lost one of the rubber sleeves on my Terry Hearn bed and got a replacement from Hinders in Swindon: www.hinders.co.uk Give them a ring, their telephone service worked fine for me. Pete

Alan, we would welcome you with open arms. The problem is the buggers on the border. Pete

Could be that he set it to max drag and got pulled in by a passing barge. Pete

You need to set the ratchet on so that a pulling fish, or passing boat, cannot wind the reel backwards. Then you can set the 'baitrunner' on and adjust it to give line at whatever tension you want. The whole point about a 'baitrunner' is that a pulling fish cannot make the reel spin backwards and create an enormous tangle. Pete

Thanks Elton. There had to be an answer somewhere. Pete

The general advice is to go for the 'Original' vitalin. I haven't looked to see what the other versions have in them. Pete

No, it doesn't have the Okuma equivalent of Shimano's baitrunner. Pete

Well done. It sounds like a great day out and the photographs are fine. Pete

And I am just one of the many satisfied customers.

Hi. There are loads of tips in the Anglers Net Forums. Click on 'search' at the top of the page and search for things like 'vitalin', 'home made ground bait', and such like. You'll get a big list for each search and you will have to plough through them. If you search for vitalin you will find that 'home made ground bait' is one of the topics in the list. Pete

I know that it isn't day ticket but have you thought about joining Ringwood and District - www.ringwoodfishing.co.uk They have some excellent waters and any coarse angler would find something to suit their requirements. Pete
