Wellyfish,

Trust me ....fishing is not always easier from a boat.
When your engine starts misfiring, or the sea gets up and the winds blowing it's very difficult to concentrate on the fishing!

All you bass fishermen.....go look at my thread on the boat fishing section 'lures V. bait' I still need guys to help try get some answers.

Thanks, Jules.

sorry to hear of your many snap ups Steve but the fact is even a small fish can test your tackle, I sugest you check your line for weaknesses and brush up on you knot tying,

[Ben]

could be the end eye i guess as well, i now always check that befor my 1st cast

[wellyfish]

i still say the general will be mine come may

[Ben]

good luck with that, i wonder how many people say that each year?
its gonna be interesting when it is finaly caught, think of all the tackle you will get in it

[pixybasher]

I got a bit of kit in the garage that wouldnt snap when tackling even the Corporal,let alone the General....
Its a pheumatic speargun.
BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The old scaley bugger will be mine....ha ha ha ha .

you could always fit a canoe on the roof rack?
