What great memories mate, Eddie sounds like the sort of bloke Id enjoy in the company of, to have a beer and yap with.. mainly listen too! Lol Sorry for your loss Jukel, I hope the send off is the best it can be, The Fields of Anthenry! Wow.. I'd be gone after the first few lines! All the best mate.. RIP Eddie

Not many people call Socks, Ken... loads of other names...but rarely Ken

I'll have a dig behind the sofa and see what I can rustle up mate lol..£8m! Jeez! It is a lovely spot there, but if I'm honest, we wouldn't stay again, it was full of the type of people I can't handle, wax jacket, hunter wellies, black lab, spotless defender or discovery.. bit of tweed and from London (or nearby) pretending to be country types.. that's the only problem with that area now (as you know).. but the scenery and beaches are stunning.. Yeah you kindly advused me about that mark and me and Fin had a couple of turbot off it on an early morning fish..

This site is certainly different to what it was, but what stays the same eh? I found i could only write so many times about ferreting or lamping, before it became the same sort of stories.. we all know how it goes, but some of those old threads on the ferreting or lurcher sections were great, loads of good input.. and SeanC photos on our threads were brilliant...but... I still.come on here most days, have a nose around maybe don't post as much but enjoy the banter still at times..tbh no one pisses me off on here as it's the Internet, I'd just stop reading and turn it off if it got to that

Beautiful part of the coast mate, especially this time of year when most of the Grockles have buggered off! lol

Seen one in Ibiza when I was 19, getting excited about spotting a bird as a youngster on the piss and pull meant i got a bit of stick off my mate out clubbing later that night....worth it though lol Never seen one in the UK, would be made up if I did

Fished the tidal Exe yesterday, fishing from top of the tide down. This is a funny place but holds loads of fish from roach, dace, chub to mullet, bass. Sea trout and salmon and loads of wid brown trout.. some days you can have a proper mixed bag.. Got there at 9am which was top of the tide, so fished the feeder whilst I waited for the tide to drop, not one bite! Moved to another swim...same result... no idea what was going on.. Moved another 3 times and fished the stick float with maggot, just didn't want a blank on what is my water lol.. Eventually caught a small brownie

From this To this to.. bass, home made skinny chips, broccoli and home made white wine and cream sauce...

The sea is alive, 3 hours after work with my lad bass everywhere.. loads of gulls working, fish topping everywhere was another great sight.. probably had 30 bass (most of them keepers) kept 4 plus a few mackerel..

Rudd or a nice crucial must be the prettiest fish in UK waters... that one is stunning mate

Id give you 20lb for that beast! Lol

Yes mate, on a small sandeel imitation.. the sea was thick with little eels that day

Yes mate, they are big fuckers! A couple of those to erect and clad would see me into retirement lol

I know an old lad that lost the end of 2 fingers to a sheet that slipped down the wall as we was sorting the bottom sheet, I also dropped a tek gun on his head from 2 lifts up, (old fashioned big heavy gun) put him on his knees, I was pretty young 21 maybe, he was in his late forties then.. f**k he kicked off... I couldn't breathe for laughing. When we first started on the steels we walked the lot, up over the rafters etc, no machines (lots on farm jobs) looking back we were mad to do it, no nets under the roofs which is compulsory now, the first job I ever had nets on was a massive unit

Comes with the territory in our game, but I'll be honest and say over the last few years I think a load more about heights than I ever did, getting older I suppose. Been up in all sorts from man baskets on the end of crane (with a twat of an old steel erctor swinging it when we were 100ft in the air for a laugh, not funny) , to the biggest mobile cherry picker you can drive yourself, we needed it to go out and over a building not for the height but the reach.. but being younger me and my brother thought we'd take it in the middle of the car park and take it to the top height (think it was
