~Davy out as he seemed a tad out of practice      

What do you expect when he gives all the fish to his guests and besides coaching them on handling them he also gaffs them and haules them aboard.

 

How lucky we all are to know and be friends with the man :cool: :cool:

 

Alan

He was'nt;t even gaffing them this trip - Just sat in the cab reading The Sun

 

Totally unapproachable!

 

I'm not going on the boat again!!

No wonder he was unapproachable.

the sun???????

 

too up market for my boat' we are confirmed "daily or sunday sport" readers, nothing better than the problem page of the sport when you are waiting on a bite, mind you only on the saturday of a 2 day trip as after all the beer on the sat night you daren't take your eyes off the horizon for fear of shouting for hughie on the sunday

hi,

 

thanks for the warm welcome,

 

 

Just lulling you into a false sense of security mate

 

yes davy, that would be great, in your own time of course, i don't think i'm going for skate again for a few weeks my back is still sore from that last trip when me and gordon got 4 in the boat and 1 lost

 

K I'll try and get some made up for you then.

 

stevie also told me about your trace with the large split ring and the plastic pipe that passes over the top swivel, sounds better than the ones i made with the captive zip slider, mind you, i have only lost 1 fish in 8 trips and that was because the main line had been damaged by a spur on the doggie rod when they tangled.

 

Yup they work OK but are not as good as the wind on leaders, hence the reason I dont use the trace any longer.

well i never, i was just reading sandtigers article in the page on the skate bash and i can't believe i actually beat the great unapproachable one at something in his own back yard

 

i had a double shot of blackmouthed doggies last april on baited hokeyes, that day we had 6 of the little sods on the boat, wierd wee fish, you expect them to be like LSD's, all squirmy, but they feel more like a limp bit of cooked pasta :confused: bonny wee fish though
