  1. would the going rate be similar or more in northern ireland, £70 a year is nothing!
  2. castlerock pier/mouth of the bann 'biggerdog'!
  3. well the girlfriend caught a 6 inch pollack while spinning two nights ago whereas last night I chased bass caught in a channel and although putting Toby's literally In their faces, nothing, today I fished rag and spun including feathers and caught fa!
  4. Thanks tiercel going back down in a couple of hours will hopefully have something to post later
  5. staying along the north coast of n.i for a few days, brought the dead bait and spinning rod, got some rigs and ragworm yesterday but all im catching are small crabs! extra kick was there were plenty of fish jumping this morning, im guessing sea trout and something else possibly bass or bream..... any suggestions lads?
  6. grew up with the flutes and lambegs, isnt it sad i only found out about 'trad' music and singing pubs last year and i can honestly says its brilliant craic
  7. complete f***ing nuisance those things, the ones i had in my first flat you couldnt even dry your wet gear on them as there was some trip/override switch when they got too hot- cheapest alternative i'd sooner have a couple of tube heaters, low wattage and you can fit a thermostat to them aswell maybe the rules are different in england but be careful with spending money on a rental property incase you fall out with the landlord or neighbours, and need to move- im talking from experience unfortunately!
  8. i too have searched for a dog which is basically the same size and coat of a spaniel yet has the trainability and more commonly seen house dog qualities of a labrador, then it came to me, what are the possibilities of a terrier x lab, anybody ever came across one?
  9. excellent can keep them topped up then! will investigate the hemp seed aswell, many thanks Pete!
  10. guys another completely newb question, should i stop feeding peanuts through a mesh feeder now that chicks will soon be hatching? theres alot of contradictory advice online!
  11. you do have a point there, however fly fishing isnt my main focus which is why having sub standard equipment the odd time i do 'fluff chuck' doesnt help! i learnt to pike/coarse fish as a child, on my own, with tackle that my father/grandfather used and could now accurately cast a lure/float/feeder with pretty much any thing that resembled a rod
  12. havent been about home the last few days and the seed and nut feeder are both empty, however the good old nyger's still doing the job even with my neglect! thought i'd sit in the kitchen and have a nosey while eating lunch (better than any of that shite on tv) anyways.... two birds on the nyger, bigger than the siskens but very dark grey/black markings with a small red crown and a blushing of red/pink on the chest! were they redpolls, either way it made my day and theyll hopefully return!
  13. have to agree with this, in all fishing principles, i know im pretty shit at fly fishing due to lack of practice however why make the learning process harder with sub standard equipment?
  14. Ok thanks lads, guy in work suggested a double taper for better presentation, and that he personally used the brand scientific angler? however these were getting harder to get as everything is now going weight forward! ill b mostly fishing stocked lakes and I wont b casting great distances but I now have an excuse to buy a new rod when ive got my presentation right and cant reach those rising fish!

  16. thanks for the reply lads, yellow dog i actually didnt know that they all had various rates of sinking! i dont no why but i just cant get my head around this fly line and leader business! ill get there tho!
  17. i could talk all day about coarse fishing lines, predator traces but i am baffled as to what line to load my fly reel with, its a 4/5 weight rod and i mostly fish a dry fly so dont mind spending money on this but scrimping on the wet fly line when it comes to fishing or any fieldsport, google will have an answer however those that have experience day in, day out will have real answers!
  18. now i can identify them they are great wee birds to watch, seen a couple scrappin mid air yesterday in the garden! however, i regularly have two robins at my feed station at the same time..... i was always led to believe these guys would defend their patch to the death?
  19. preservatives and additives used to set me off asthma style, don't no if they still do as i'd rather not have that poison in my body now i know the craic, also dairy altho i can eat some chocolate but again dont bother anymore i try to keep a wheat free diet (pasta, bread etc) to keep my immune system strong although i go through some beer in a week!
  20. sounds like you had a great couple of hours!
