galenkia Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Put the standard exhaust on my bike earlier as it's serviced and MOT day tomorrow. Was convinced that the race can was getting louder, sure enough, it was rotting away inside and half the packing was missing. No wonder people covered their ears when I went past at 10k upwards revs. 😀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spam was the "secret" bait they used in Gillams resort in Krabi , one guy brought his own from England ( dozens of tins in his suitcase.. ) because he didn't think the version sold in Thailand was as good 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 50 pence off as a senior concession. You need to be 65 to get the concession and that date, 09 July, will be my 65th birthday. Happy Birthday! Have a great day. 🙂 It looks like sunny Devon isn't so sunny today, but a good weekend is ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you currently use for bait and what fish swim where you are? Also how do you fish for them? Edited July 9, 2020 by boydeste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPK Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Just done my first session with a PT totally knackered. I’ve been kidding myself on during this lockdown and lucky if Ive been out running or on the bike twice a week. Thought I’d book a couple of sessions each week until the gyms are opened up proper. I’ve been eating rubbish as well past few months and not really eating healthy. So got her to knock me up a diet sheet as well No work, no gym and eating crap the past 3 month I’ve put on just over a stone 😂😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am not being a smart ass by saying this -- but, I think ( I don't really know ) there are all types of fish .... I go out in the sea every time I go fishing ... never to the same spot though .. I figure I didn't catch any fish there - so, I always go some place new I always use a lure with some stuff ( the stuff is out in the long tail ) the I spray onto the lure that is supposed to smell like fresh bait .. the stuff really stinks I just throw the line with the lure out into the sea as far as I can throw it ... then slowly reel it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So got her to knock me up a diet sheet as well No work, no gym and eating crap the past 3 month I’ve put on just over a stone 😂😂 Aye, i went and bought scales the other day from Argos, and was delighted i had only put on half a stone. Though up until 3 or 4 weeks ago, i had been doing near an hour and a half 3 or 4 times a week. Hard to get motivated now, and have a 11am meet in the park with a PT tomorrow for a 'free taster' session. And was delighted to read this earlier - Posted at 12:5012:50 Government hopes to reopen gyms in mid-July The government hopes to open gyms in England in mid-July, with beauty salons to follow as soon as possible, Leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg says. Speaking in Parliament, Rees-Mogg tells MPs: "Our hope is to reopen gyms and leisure facilities in mid-July. "Other close-contact services, tattoo and nail parlours, will follow as soon as possible. "The government has been clear that it wants to reopen the economy carefully and gradually and this is why some businesses which involve less sustained contact between people have opened before others." Meanwhile, Northern Ireland is set to become the first nation in the UK to allow gyms to reopen - with leisure facilities preparing to open their doors on Friday.

Adding a scent probably won't help you much on a moving bait. Try varying the depth before retrieve and mix up the speed of the retrieve. Make the lure jerky and erratic. Make it lift and sink by stopping the retrieve a few seconds etc. Also fishing near structure/sunken boat, depth change will attract fish. Good luck.
