    Worm Farm

    Anyone had any success with a home made one? At area near caravan i got a permit for some rivers/lakes. Trouble is its all sand round where we are and worms are hard to come by, not like digging in your garden, so was looking at making a simple farm so then can just grab a few rather than look...

    Small Rod for Fly Fishing

    I have fly rods 9ft & 10ft i think off the top of my head, alright for reservoir/lake fishing where there is nothing behind you on the back cast. But i have a small 6ft river rod. The rivers/streams i fish are full of trees either side so no way of casting. Do you think the small rod will be...

    Cheap Headlamp

    I need a headlamp, i do not need nothing dear, as the one i got now is one of them cheapoe's from Aldi, but is not good enough. Daughter has asked if anything i want for Christmas off kids for around £25. I don't use that often. I know many of you pay £'s for one, but is there anything i can get...

    Jig Head Lure

    Was using something very similar to this lure this evening, a Jig Head and a rubber body i put on it. I was going to ask why the connecter underside, if you could fit the snap connector there but now see. Is that point just to connect "attractors" to?

    Honda 2hp Bolts

    When i was trying to sort out engine problems the other day i noticed 2 bolts that tighten a part (swivel case) that half fits round the stem were loose (on picture on stem under the control arm). So i tightened them up but then the stem would not swivel around, so slackenend them off. Should...

    North Wales At Last

    Well having chatted to a fellow member about advice and meeting up i thought i better get my butt in gear. As i am still testing positive after a week and unable to enquire with locals about tips i looked on tide times and it was right for me tonight for high tide at 23.00. So thought will get...

    Advice on Reel

    Sorting all my tackle out today. Trying to get lure, bait and boat stuff separate and in some order. I think i have only bought 3 reels in the last 40 years, the ones i am using were "free" with years subscription to fishing mag. A mate offered me out on his boat so one of the boat reels i use...

    The AT Tuna announcement

    I get AT news letter, latest one bragging about the tuna tagging programme claiming anglers are backing this. Sent reply that i do not support this and many others i have read on forums do not, only the odd one (really odd case on wsf) supports this. Said get back to me in 24hrs. Nothing yet...

    Honda 2.2hp

    Does any one know if you can remove jet from carb without taking carb off? My engine is a Honda 2.2hp (or 2.3) 4 stroke, i had not run it since Sept 2019. It started after 3rd pull but was missing when reved up, ran it on dinghy for 10mins but would not run for long on high revs. Sounds like...

    Penn Reel

    As a kid i had either Intrepid reel or Mitchell, and were a good reel. When i started back sea fishing i only bought cheap reels or free ones with mag subs, i never had a problem with them but someone gave me a Penn Silverdo SV 8000 some time ago. Now as most will know this reel outcasted the...

    Easiest rigs for average

    As someone who likes to lure fish, but will use bait as well, i try to set up tackle for the easiest, to cover all as sessions are mainly around 3hrs. Most time i have mono on my reels and tie a loop to the end and swivel and then a trace can be looped to it or a length of mono with clip on the...

    Frozen Bait from Supermarket

    Mentioned previously on here the smelly fish counter in Morrison's. There was a frozen section next to it with shellfish in. Next time i get to caravan i may take some of this as nowhere to get much close by. There was frozen razors there and i know they are ok as bait, but i have never used...
