hawkanddog 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Thought the hole idea of chat and forums was to have banter, bit of a laugh, while we talk about things we like. If you are going to add personal insults to posting, perhaps its your dummy you should be throwing out not crab lines! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkanddog 0 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 No problems happens, we all get crabby (sorry couldnt help it) By the way I spent many an hour with an old bike wheel covered with a net, on the end of a rope, with a cods head in the middle. Off the side of South Shields pier, you could catch some really big edible crabs and if you were really lucky a lobster. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Crabby -like it .My daughter had a spider crab on the line during this outing but it wouldnt fit in any of the penny nets we had and sank back to the depths.

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 No problems happens, we all get crabby (sorry couldnt help it) (Wipes a stray tear of laughter!) That was Sharp! Blimey, I'd not looked in here because crabs don't do a lot for me. So glad I did now! Well done, both of you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
