lovely morning scratch and a nice picture as well.

At the fishery I work at when its like that we need to go and break the ice lol myself and a couple of guys from another forum went for a day and when we arrived this is what greeted us

Lets just say i foolishly only wore 1 pair of thin socks under my wellies and at 10pm that night I still cudn't feel my toes

Beautiful photograph Scratch.

I was one of those who fished with Chris, from the boat. That makes you a mouse and me an idiot.

Excellent photo, only spoilt by the litter left in the boat! Why are people able to carry something full all the way to the boat, but incapable of taking something back when it’s empty?

Rant over

Thanks Howard

The Red Bull was mine mate... I just cobbed it there when I'd finished cos the floor was full..... Only kiddin

Tins in boats I can deal with, I just take it with my rubbish when I'm done... line on banks and round birds necks I can't.

Hi Scratch.
Great photographs.
It looks a bit of a precarious walk to boat No 6 though.

Funny you should say that Itchy.... Seconds after this picture was taken, World Cup team captain Ian Greenwood almost took a rather 'bracing' impromptu dip ! As you can see, the jetty is less than perfect at the moment, so, Ian with his hands full (loading boat No.6) and a little distraction from me

almost gave me a really nice picture

It was one of those slips where you just seem to dance like a fool for what seems like an age, but in reality is only just about long enough for everyone in the vacinity to clock you and see the end result of your slip... this time the onlookers had to make do with a giggle rather than a full blown howl... sadly, Ian stayed on his feet

Bit gutted actually...Probably coulda sold him the memory card for a few quid!
