  1. With bass it is amazing how much difference ten yards can make. Both me and my mate have fished next to each other this season and he had 4 bass on the trot and I have nothing and then on another spot I had 4 and he had nothing. Same bait rigs and right next to each other. We fish a beach a fair few miles long and after all these years I pretty much know where to be but it takes a lot of work and time to suss it out that is why I don't share much lol
  2. This little tosser stole a fish off me once. Every time I got there he would bob up in the estuary and disappear and then pop up a few yards to side of me and try and grab any fish as I reeled in. He copped one in the end and the line screamed off me reel. I had to put brakes on and snap it before he took all my line. Then he bobbed up in middle with my fish in his chops. I wasn't a fan ?
  3. Looking forward to weekend nearly there. Bit poor last weekend with just couple of 2lb and then this decent one 4.11. Every tide is different and just a case of getting out there. Love the surge in the tide as it moves forward and then the fish follow it in and bang. Beautiful fish mind
  4. Bloody hell I had to google it as well now thought it was a biscuit ? oh that macarons
  5. Same here a hare will run out the lamp the bulk of the time unless your lynford (back in the day). Also seen a dog nearly reduced to walk with the hare doing the same they seem to just go and go and turn on a six pence
  6. instinctive like aiming a shotgun you just look at what you want to hit?
  7. I all ways found letting my lurcher mix with ferrets in yard got him wound up and still does espeacially if they approach him and he can't get out way. Out in the field he is spot on
  8. Yea got my cousin on a couple good ones a 10 and an 11 and he whacked them both. Well I had to do one as he didn't have his whacker. I didn't like doing it. I had an 8.11 which copped it and I regretted straight after and as I say a fair few back as I have had a very good season so far. Its a bit of a sad ending for a fish that had dodged anglers and nets trawlers and god knows what for all them years.
  9. Good on you been returning a few of the ones over 6lb from the shore this year but just lately the trawlers have been hammering the place and coming in close. Sort of wondering what was the bloody point of putting my hard earned ones back though I get pleasure out if seeing them swim off as long as the freezer is full lol
  10. Well yea there is that ?
  11. Tethered goat is a like a lawn mower just move them along plus more character than some tit of a sheep too plus get milking nanny and some some nice fresh milk
  12. Where did you pick it up if you don't mind me asking ?
  13. I took a gamble and it paid off. My logic was I had her as a pup before I had a car and we spent years on foot. So I thought well on foot we would have headed over to such and such for a run. I drove around in the car and was it 3-4 miles across country. Started flashing the lamp around and back at feet as she new that one. Felt I was wasting my time but second field in over in the far corner two eyes flying towards me. Cool as a cucumber flashed me feet once more and waited for the panting. Over the moon was understatement gave the little cow a hug lol Every time I drive tha
  14. Just sad full stop. I lost the beddy whippet one day so that night I went to a lamping spot a few miles up the road and flashed the lamp on and off the old silent recall job. Sure enough wasnt long before a set of eyes coming straight at me. Was over the moon. That field has now long gone with whooping great road straight through it
  15. Well you don't have to be Sherlock to figure this one out lol
  16. No idea if its right but does me
  17. Sounds like it just needs time off. I used to ferret every day with the one JR because he was so good. Every day we walked literally miles and miles and that was just to get there as no car then. One morning he was hobbling along behind stiff as a board. Got a lift to the vet and he said I had just worn him out. Couple of days off and right as rain. Begrudgingly after that I alternated dogs more and gave him a rest now and again. He was a little gladiator but they got limits
  18. Yea his good he is and he takes the dog some times too
  19. Roast bass tonight on bone
