You're welcome Jonny.

I always like to keep my reader entertained...........

I can assure you Kevin that I am not the only reader.

Infact, whilst working on FM, I noticed that within an hour of publishing one of your articles, 450 people had read it.

It might actually be 4 readers Jeff, as I thnk Mr Marzdinn scans it for any possibly litigious content before it gets published.......

Fred

Might not be anything next week as I am on holiday, but watch out for the launch of a new range of clothing from a company you all know and love..............

Another classic Kevin

A good and interesting read Kevin.

I remember my brother doing some sea fishing when we went on holiday to Mablethorpe. I was 9 at the time and he was 11.

I rember him using 2 spark plugs for weights and some how he incorporated a disgorger as a boom. Never caught anything, not even sunburn.

I remember going sea fishing once off a pier. I was using a closed facedreel and an equally undergunned rod!

Caught nothing!

 

[Wolfman Woody]

Myself and a chum I'd met on holiday bought a couple of those handlines and went fishing a few times off the end of Clacton pier in 1963.

Now in all honesty, we didn't go expecting to catch an 18lbs cod, nor a 6lbs dogfish, nor a 3lbs lemon sole and guess what .......

everything went just as we expected!

Yep, we blanked too.

Great read Kev, in 1989 I moved to Plymouth and was sure I was going to empty the oceans, with my superior match fishing expertise. I soon realised that the professional netsmen were doing a much better job of it than I ever could.

Kevin.

Whenever I read your little missives on the exquisite agonies of angling, and the art of blanking....(that's blanking for you hard of hearing)..... I often get this weird feeling that you and I have led parallel lives.

Of course I soon remember I am much older than you, therefore I did it first.

Thus, a certain nostalgic sadness that inevitably leads to......................

.........Would you please get a life of your own!!

Clive

You don't know just how many times I've been told that....!

 

[Richard Farrow]

As per usual a very entertaining and light hearted read Kevin. Just the thing needed to brigthen up a bog awful day, cold and wet and I have to go out and work this evening.

 

[Clikfire]

Long time, off of site. Lifes twists and turns etc.

Good to see your still at it Kevin, and my sea fishing results are as good as yours.

 

[Kevin Perkins]

Hello Clive

Nice to see you back. I'm still here, they don't get rid of me that easily....!
