Another of my hobbies is woodwork and I have a small collection of whetstones, oil stones and sharpening sticks plus access to an angle grinder and to be honest, I wouldn't use any of them on knives unless the knife was really blunt. I picked up a set of kitchen knives from someone on Freecycle...

Totally get the acronym for BOAT, I think unless you've got money to burn (which we don't) or you've got a mad passion for boats it may not be worth it but as we're looking at sharing the cost mixed with the fact that I'm pretty handy at repairing stuff and wanting to learn how to do stuff...

Finally figured how to mix the quotes - slowly getting used to the forum controls... Love dogs! Unlikely, I was born in Newton Abbot and we moved to South Molton when I was 11. Love the area, tried moving back there once with my wife several years ago but couldn't manage it. My brother has...

Funny you mention boats, today I walked from Newton Abbot to Teignmouth along the estuary with my brother and my dog (German Shepherd) and got very muddy and while sitting down with our kebab and a pint at a pub, was talking about looking into going halves and buying a small boat when my...

No matter how much I try I just can't cast facing forwards. A bloke my mum was seeing years ago took me lake fishing once and I just couldn't get the hang of it and never took it any further. Not quite sure how I got into back casting but It works a treat plus somewhere like Brixham breakwater...

Amazing, I can't thank you enough for this. I've got a VW Passat estate so don't mind driving, can fit any gear inside no problem. I'll PM you my phone number just in case I miss any messages on here.

Wow, I really can't thank you enough for this, I would love to take you up on your most kind offer. I've just gone through the guides and bookmarked are load of write-ups for reading later but nothing beats hands-on watching and doing. I'm off all this week, any other time I'm free any weekend...

I've only ever been mackerel fishing, don't have a great amount of kit. I've got two rods (my brother's 12' which is quite stiff, my 10' which has more bend), kit box/seat, bait box, feathers, bright pink polystyrene balls, various swivels, various hooks, jelly-eel type hooks, tripod rod rest...
