wire traces for pike

[Peter Waller]

The poor fellow must have gone through real agony during the foot & mouth outbreak. I mean, is it a S.T.D. or not?

My standard length trace for lure fishing is 15". Any shorter I reckon is potentially dangerous, especially with small lures that may be taken down deep, as has already been mentioned. Howewver, with wire that you can knot, like the 49 strand varieties, it's quick and easy to make up any length you want whilst fishing.

 

Turning to snaps, I much prefer Duolocks, which, unlike Crossloks, I find easy to open and close, and they're also very reliable.

A ventriloquist on holiday in the Welsh countryside got a bit bored one day and decided to have fun with a local farmer.

"Do you mind if I talk to your dog?" said the ventriloquist.

"Don't be daft, he can't talk," said the farmer.

"We'll see about that," said the ventriloquist. "How's things going, Rover? Does your owner treat you well?"

"Fine," came the thrown-voice reply. "He's a decent sort of bloke. Feeds me well, takes me out on the hillsides and lets me chase sheep. Good life, really."

"Well, I'll be blowed," said the farmer. "He's never done that before."

"Do you mind if I talk with your sheep?" said the ventriloquist.

"The sheep's a liar!" said the farmer.

Not talking about Nugg are you Fenboy? He has something of a penchant for our woolly bivvy accesories!

[Nugg]

All liars, them sheep, all of em.

Oh by the way, any body know of some good quality wellies, I'm on my fourth pair this year, torn to shreds. I need some for fishing.

[Peter Waller]

Plenty of wellies in the Thurne Nugg!! Quite a few sheep in the Acle area too!!

I'm sure Nugg would prefer a more subtle colour of sheep, one that his neighbours are less likely to notice. White does tend to draw attention.

 

The wellies are a good idea though. The sheep can take 'em off just before going to bed. Less likely to leave hoof marks on the sheets that way!

I used to love the sheep that we had on the Romney Marsh,they all had black legs......it made them look like they were wearing stockings....
