Best thing that ever happened IMO was banning smoking in public. i smoke but it got banned at work so don't light up until I get back which may be around 6, then it's got to be the back garden as wor lass banned me from smoking in the house several years ago. So I don't have a tab until 6 at night after work and may go through around 5 or 6 in the evening, makes me think like that I should be able to chuck it easy, only problem is when I go fishing I'm like a f****n chimmney.lol lucky it's only once a week like.
hi mate,get the big bottle out,chuck some money into it,bounce the lure closer to the wreck,buy more lures with the tabs your not smoking,catch more fish,smoke some cod
sometimes i sits and thinks,but thinks better whilst sitting on a rock fishing

Hi lads,the bugger with chinese cooking is the mono sodium glutemate,its a totalley different taste for us in the west,thats why stuff like sweet and sour king prawns,or chicken in black bean sauce is so feckin addictive,its used as a thickening agent for the sauce and a flavour additive,it also thickens the arterys and if you are prone to it heightens the risk if youve got a dodgey ticker and aint to much good if youve got probs on the bum pointing to the big bowl front,alot of noodles are made from wheat which is bad for some people,go for rice noodles if you can,not as tasty but the sauce takes up the slack,a sweet and sour sauce i make for a lot ot of punters goes like this,tomato ketchup,brown sauce,worcesthire sauce,a touch of light soy sauce,and some sweet chilli sauce,garlic,and a small amount of fresh ginger,onions,and mushrooms,hoy it into a pan or wok then add your chicken prawns or beef (finely sliced if its meat or chicken) add tinned pineaple at the end jobs a good un,its sounds a bit of a faff,but takes amount the same time as ringing the chinese take away in the first place,cheers chris
Sounds good chris
our lass thought i was daft when she seen me putting tomato sauce in my chicken wing sauce,along with a touch of sugar ,I cook loads and love my cooking,so how way lads,get cooking, pack that little white sticks in ,eat better, and live longer,davey im pleased you have packed them in ,if you feel fitter you can carry more gear for me MATE
healthy eating/getting a fishing pass for the weekend
Hi lads and to billyturbot in paticular,this is a spectacular method ive used in the past to get a weekend away fishing,it requires a cunning forward thinking plan.firstly the week end before you go away(having checked tides booked boats or have the beach gear ready) you do this
1)cancel the bingo at the social club on the saturday night,buy some s****y white wine(at least a£5.99 bottle)and splash on some brut and announce to your lass im cooking tonight
2)goto the supermarket get two rainbow trout from the fish counter,get some,rosemary,thyme(plants if you can)they keep champion in the garden or on a windowsill,buy a lemon,heat your oven to 220 bung some herbs in the gut cavity along with some lemon,bung it in a baking dish,slice more lemon a splash of olive oil rock salt and black pepper turn halfway through after ten minutes,5 mins later the jobs a good un,serve with whatever you want,new potatoes brocolli carrots etc the same also works with small coalie,salmon,cod etc
3)tell your lass your going fishing next weekend and this is what she can expect if you get a weekend pass for fresh fish next week,because your now a fisherman/healthy eating provider,ands its for my health etc etc
4)emphasise it is exercise after all,and you pet can watch x factor/reality show without me being under your feet
5)when that plan backfires stick two ragworms up your nose and wander home early monday morning before the graft,looking windswept and interesting,she will then buy you a tent
6)im going to put something on the site on how to cook the stuff we catch,just got to get time to doitcheers chris

Chris, this thread is real good reading mate many thanks (good luck on the smokes)
I think the input yourself and several others could give on cooking our catches would be invaluble ..... .. If in fact there's a moderator looking in with sufficient permissions to create an area I think we should have a directory for "Cooking Your Catch" ....... not that I could add anything myself, but I know I'd try a few ideas, however I certainly do know a few who would also contribute....
It could work out as a few good threads .... (and meals )
CHRIS class that read ,thing is mate its a waste of time doing two trout and a good bottle of wine ,rather have a can of bodds and a bit cod and not answer to woman ,single mate love it
fishing reel serviced on living room table
cod kept in the bath
along with waders hanging from shower rail
rod rack on bedroom wall
and billy the bass singing when you ring the door bell
making weights on the cooker
and living in my bib and braces, survival jacket in the winter
peeler in the fridge with the worms and salad
sea angler mags under the bed
and my BODDS of course
and best of all fishing without the hassle of a WOMAN
Great thread Chris, well done on packing in, done it 5yrs ago, it gets better day by day and you will always like the smell of the tobacco when you catch it on the wind or passing a bus stop, but be brave and resist, the craving is only a temporary thing. not even a minuet and it's gone. soon you will wonder why you took so long to pack in.
Good idea Norman on the seafood recipes, just need a mod to sticky it.
Good luck on your round the country fishing adventure Chris, maybee you could do it for a charity and get sponsored, say for each fish caught, or a species list and each fish worth a donation.
all the best
hi lads cooking aint that tough,im self taught because in my former trade of running pubs i kept misplacing chefs(there a funny breed and tend to get tired an emotional)so i trained myself i would be up for doing something advice wise,if any of you lads want some help just pm me what youve caught
and i will send you a couple of recipes,thanks for the support lads,ive got a few ideas im pitching at the moment to companys for the biggest of big adventures if anyone wants to know what they are pm your email address and i will send you what im upto,the more brains the better

lucky git,got kicked round the house the other day by she who must be obeyed for putting peelers into the fridge in the house,no amount of explaining that i am waiting for my bait fridge to be delivered,the ambient temperatures peelers need to be kept at to bring them to perfection,the market value of crabs would cut any ice they spent two days camping out in the shed ive just had a new kitchen and conservatory built,can someone please tell me what is wrong with making jiggers and weights on the new hob in the new kitcheni spent the next two days camping in the shed with the crabs

lol
when I was married I had a cracking shed complete with a fridge for the BODDS and freezer for my crab and lug ,stove for making weights and a comfy chair (from a dentists) when I left I told the wife she could have the house,car,and the kids,but not my shed and contents ,what did she do turn the freezer off and the fridge ,lucky in a way lost about £500 worth of bait but there were no cans in the fridge,she wanted half the shed ,so I put the chain saw trough it along with the sofa ,chest of draws,wardrobe,that will teach her for messing with my freezer
pro our lass
1) i got a new shed to store my stuff in,along with abait fridge,gas ring,beer fridge and a cubby hole to hide my magazines in(not them ones)my sea anglers
2)she smells better than most blokes
3)on the whole she doesnt nick my clothes or trys to wear my waders(there was an incident last year when my waders moved from one room to another of there own accord,im still suspcious about that)
4)she is pretty good at digging a bait trench while i give helpful advice
con our lass
1)i got the shed,she got a new kitchen and conservatory,i ended up about £19000 down on the deal(what do i need a conservatory for)
2)no matter how much i try to explain what a muppet actualy does,or a sidewinder shad does actually catch fish she says"fish must be stupid"its like trying to explain the offside rule but not as much fun
3)SHE EMBARRESES ME IN FRONT OF THE LADS,on her first ever boat trip out of st abbs a couple of weeks ago she won the sweepstake two days on the trot first day a beatiful cod of seven and a half pound,second day a cod of eight and a half pound,all caught on cooked prawn and peeler cocktails,a three way swivel a 6oz lead and a 6/o hook on a paternoster she tied herself,we were trying everyhing,hokkais,shads,muppets,pirks,plenty of coales and mackerel but bugger all cod
4)she said to me"I TOLD YOU FISH ARENT STUPID,I WAS THINKING LIKE A FISH,IF IT WAS ME I WOULD QUITE LIKE APRAWN AND CRAB SALAD"funnily enough we dont talk about the trip much
