  1. I just knew you'd say that as soon as I read Jon's preceding post 🤣🤣
  2. You can make up for it on Sunday though. I'll take the blank and you can have all the fish 👍
  3. Another vote for Blakdog and carbontex washers. I replaced the ancient original (leather?) washers on a couple of Mitchell 602's with carbontex versions - a huge improvement.
  4. Good shopping! I haven't heard about that over here, so will keep an eye out in the tackle shops.
  5. We're in agreement then! Say what's right, not what people want to hear. 👍 I was discussing attitudes in the workplace but it's equally relevant in the public domain.
  6. @Geoff what's your reason for the big red kiss?? 😚
  7. Legendary composer. Made a groundbreaking transition between classical and synth music in the '80's and made some of the most recognizable soundtracks of the time.
  8. You say that but there's a growing value in being able to tell it like it is. An example - I even saw the "ability to speak truth to power" appearing on an internal job advert earlier this week, so there's clearly an awakening about the value of hearing the reality of the situation. I feel a shift coming in the next couple of years where the C-suite will realise the value in hearing what's happening on the ground rather than surrounding themselves with yes-men.
  9. We can only catch what's there. Maybe today they just weren't. Still good to get out though 👍
  10. First blank in three years? You're just showing off now!! 😜🤣 Kudos for posting though - I'd alway rather be blanking than working. Had a mega back-to-back day of meetings today. Started in the car during the school/nursery run and didn't finish until gone 7pm. Pffft! #slavetothegrind
  11. Thank you. Will keep our comments here so that others in future can see the rationale 👍
  12. No shame in a blank, especially if your last one can be measured in years not weeks! Suggest you do post it as a Catch Report as it's healthy to post the blanks as well as the successes. If nothing else it gives noobie lurkers a more realistic view of boat angling 👍
  13. I think you should become a crusty and save water. Or help save sea species... #keeponblanking 😱😜
  14. How very un-environmental of you. #savetheplanet
  15. For what it's worth I used epoxy and fly tying thread on a beach rod that shattered a ring. The epoxy and the thread whipping provided the chemical/mechanical bond to hold the ring in place. Not sure whether hot melt glue would be strong enough used alone, and not sure if it would provide a good enough finish as a top coat?
  16. Yeah, he's alright, despite what @JonC says about him 👍
  17. Nice video and fish. Those conditions look gorgeous! Jon is right about the music though. Feel like I should be offering someone my condolences 🤣👍
  18. That works just fine. Looks like a lovely day on the water 👍
