old novice - jeff

im getting the same

it says in his listing "A rare and very sought after lure", its not that sought after, after 6 days and no bids

my local stretch of the witham is free to fish, was told this by the guy that runs the local "get hooked on fishing". if you add up the cost of licence, tackle etc its far from free .... lol

im new to fishing and one problem im having is finding out were i can fish for free, were i have to pay and were i cannot fish. when you buy your licence the EA should send you details of your local area. jeff

hi Steve, thanks think the bar maids may have changed by now .. lol hi Ian, thanks for that. looking for somewhere that is easy (ish) to fish, i only started fishing this year and my youngest lad is ok as long as he is catching, he does not care what he catches. we go to saltfleet sometimes to go on the beech (we are in lincoln), the way we go is up the coast road round the sharp bend to the right (houses on the left river on the right) at the next bend (sharp left) there is a pump house or something on the right and just after the bend there is a dirt road on the right that goes down to a small water treatment plant then goes over the bank and runs down the side of the river (past the sunken boat) and down to the car park / picnic place, is this the same place ? if it is, does it cost to fish there ( for the pike).

the wife found this on one of her forums, its not about fishing but it does show that we could all be non sexiest if we put our minds to it. Who could blame her?? Please be aware that as your wives age, it is harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there is nothing worse than an oversensitive woman. My name is Dave. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Martha. When I was laid off from my consulting job and took early retirement in April, it became necessary for Martha to get a full-time job, both for extra income and for the health insurance benefits we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from the golf course about the same time she gets home from work, and although she knows how hungry I am, she rests an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men's Grill at the club, so eating out is not reasonable. I'm ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door. She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now, it's not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that they won't clean themselves. I know she appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed. I really think my old business as a consultant helps a lot. Telling people what they ought to do is one of my strong points. Also, now that she has gotten older, she does seem to get tired so much more quickly. Our washer and dryer are in the basement, and sometimes she says she just can't make another trip down those steps. I don't make a big issue of this, just as long as she finishes up the laundry the next evening. I'm willing to overlook her shortcomings in this area. Unless I need something ironed to wear to the Monday lodge meeting, or to the Wednesday and Saturday poker club, or to Tuesday's and Thursday's bowling, I'll tell her to wait until the next evening to do the ironing. This gives her a little more time to do some of those odds and ends like shampooing the dog, vacuuming or dusting. If I had a really bad day on the course and it was wet and muddy, and my clubs are a mess, I let her clean them, you know, getting the grit off the grips and a little light Brillo on the club faces. Since my golf bag is heavy, I lift it out of the trunk for her. Women are delicate, have weak wrists and can't lift heavy stuff as good as men. But I had to tell her that I don't like to be wakened during my after-golf nap, so rather than bother me, she can put them back in the trunk when she's finished. Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. But boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points. When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of fresh squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me too, then take her break by my hammock. That way we can talk until I fall asleep. I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Martha, but I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult, some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do, how frustrating women get as they get older. However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this letter, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each other. Regards Dave Dave died suddenly Thursday, May 19th. He was found with a Calloway extra long 50-inch Big Bertha Golf Driver rammed up his rectum with only two inches of grip showing. His wife Martha was arrested, but after the jury read this letter, they accepted her defence that he accidentally sat on it. She was released from custody on Friday.

hi all, has anyone fished at the grange farm at mablephorpe ? grangefarmleisure.co.uk we are going there for three days fishing. any advice would be most welcome.

just had a look at the above links and i see they come in three sizes 30, 40 and 50. what would you use each size for? and how much difference is there between the sizes?

its looking like its going to be the C&CC, is "summer store and camp" what we think it is = season pitch type thing ?

hi chesters we are looking into joining either the caravan and camping club or the caravan club. if we go with C&CC i will pm you for your number.

we wont let our two lads (15 and 12) go fishing unless they go with me or their grandad, there are just to many scum like these about.

i knew i was going to look stupid - PAC = pike anglers club. have done searches on the net, yellow pages and directory enquiries for fishing clubs in the lincoln area with very little success. every time i go in the local tackle shop to get some advice and info they are always very busy and i feel guilty about taking up their time. does anybody have contact details for any lincoln fishing clubs ?

we was down cornwall in the F&M outbreak the site we stayed on was supposed to have animals on for kids to pet/feed they was all gone, and most of the places we visited stunk of disinfectant

been to lands end, good place to fly a kite :-), was very windy when we was there. was not planing on going that far down, have done devon/cornwall for the past 4 years.

looking for some place that has on site course fishing but is near the sea so we can do a bit of sea fishing as well

wife has been reading reviews on the area and it seems it has a problem with chavs, drunk teens etc. (uk camp site) think we will look for some other place.

hi all, wife has been looking at caravan sites to visit next summer, this one has got some good reviews for the site so i thought i would ask you guys and gals about the fishing, hopefully someone on here has fished there or at least heard about it. http://www.northamfarm.co.uk many thanks jeff

if i was local you would have my £20 also, looks a realy nice stretch of water and being able to park next to your swim is a real bonus.

my son got a DAM fighter spin rod for only £18.99. rod

The very first time I went fishing was on a lake on a camp site; my son was reeling in a fish when a large fish went for the fish he was reeling in. Just got to thinking (does not happen very often) I fish with a light 13ft match rod on 4lb line. My question is has anybody landed a pike that has taken your catch in this way?

when the father in law gets it sorted and we go down to the lake i will print out this thread and pass on all your points to the people that run the site.
