Hopefully I'll be collecting crabs from my local tackle shop on Saturday afternoon on the way home from an afternoon of drinking, playing snooker and watching sport on the TV. If my order turns up.
I am not a number !

Questions are a burden to others, answers a prison for oneself.

Many anglers say razors are only of any use when fished after stormy conditions,yet on my last cod hunt at Easington,during a good settled spell,the lad to my left had 4 x 4lbers on big razor baits and on last Sunday with Dave at Dimmo (after a settled week) we both had plenty of action on razor....might be certain baits work better in certain areas,but i`ll be getting plenty in my freezer for next winters cod hunts.

I will have to get over to Wales some time Tim when I get the chance to get a few, only thing I can manage this weekend is a early Sunday morning linford session while my lads tucked up in bed, good luck on your bass hunt :thumbsup:
