Not on certain lakes. And I think there are some old canal type waters down in Kent that are private and don't have a close season as they aren't classed as proper waterways anymore.

And I believe normal close season rules apply. As JM says, just go fishing and enjoy you lucky sod!

I like a good tilt and some good news. As Ian says though, only another week and and it's daylight here we come

By the looks of that finish Griff is going to have to up his game!!!!

Have they got water and leccy on their now? Wasn't available in the summer.

You don't have to be on a super bike to get trashed! If you have seen what a road does to a ladies skin wearing a skimpy top when hit from behind whilst stationary. Say no more. I really wish I wasn't sensible sometimes, but when you see the shorts and sandals brigade on scooters etc when on holiday. Doh!!! And they whinge when their travel insurance doesn't cover them.

Always on a floater if I can. Have had fixed and floating at brundall and whilst the fixed is fine, I just like the no worries on a pontoon. Especially if you get a big tide. 2 yrs ago we had a big tide the day my boat was being lifted and the NYA guys were running around adjusting mooring lines. Don't happen often though.

A friend dropped one of our new posh plastic boat glasses over the side. They only sell them in sets so we have 3 extras for spares now!!!! and my boss!!!! We did pull him out again though

Had to have a filter fitted on my old boat - 7 yrs ago as the engine didn't have a separate compartment and would have dripped into the bilge if I'd had a leak. Current boat has its own separate engine compartment and what is really its own floor rather than drip tray so not needed. To be honest I think they are a good idea.

It looks a great way to remove the moles and mole hills..... and replace them with trenches!!!! £2k a machine plus the propane. The sticks and coke bottles sound good

Now I have 2 moles to catch. If by any chance they do have names like Eric and Ernie I shall let you know. In the meantime I shall be turning the front lawn over to kids windmills and coke bottles. I shall probably try and avoid the gas option. Although it would be blooming funny. well to swmbo anyway.

Seriously. Quite smokey with a little peppery zing. And she appreciated it as well. Sorry couldn't resist that!

You have no idea what I have tried!! i also read a strong solution of mint also works. The solar mole scarres do seem to work, but have spent a small fortune on those and then they die!!! Now it looks like I need a trip to the sea side!!!

That looks a bloody good repair. Well impressed.

Having been on a one man mission to catch the little devil that is trashing my front lawn for several months I didn't think I had become obsessed. maybe I have though!!! the wife was unusually insistent I checked my mole traps today. normally she doesn't care. Oh how I laughed when I went to check the traps. someone is taking the wee

Not quite cooked on the boat, we had a jolly nice omelette made with beaver salami. Very unusual, but very tasty. A bit tough so glad I still have my own teeth!!!! and a tasty bit of beaver for a Sunday!!!!

But cheaper dieselnot your normal 60/40 split.

Is it oil or sealer? Big difference!!!! most boaters I know use Semco sealer, but the 2 part cleaner should be as good.

You would be smelling of herring for months cooked onboard BBQ on the bank sounds good I still think fresh mackerel on the BBQ or if your brave try them sushi style, just minutes out of the sea. You will be surprised.

Well it's going to need a lot of heating

And you'd cook them on your boat?

It's amazing how many people can't read those signs!!!

Yeah we went early Jan and it seemed perfect, but don't them to miss out

Hi Robin. Good luck with the cruise ship!!!! thats a massive vessel!!! There will only be a couple of boats bigger on the Yare. Size is impotent (pun there). Barges excluded you will be in the top 10, maybe 3 from my knowledge. I hope you can afford to keep the guest fridge topped up? Your fuel bill will be small in comparison once Griff and the boys get onboard. will you be cruising her up to norfolk? That will be an awesome blog and I'm jealous of the adventure that you will have. You must record it and and post it. You will have ups and downs, but enjoy the ups.

I never said that!!!! But....... back in the 70s we all used them as kids. It was a bit of a "look what I caught" thing. And we did to know better I even remember proper hesian sacks for carp!! i find it easier now to put them straight on the BBQ! JOKE. As i said. Sorry we hijacked your thread.
