Thanks for your message David. I caught a zander once on tiger nuts, probably my most bizarre capture ever!!

I hope I am still going when I am 69…

Good luck with the move.

I’m sure the thought of Kennels for Flash is worse than it actually is. They both have each other for company so the’ll be fine.

My two also dislike the kennels or maybe it’s the kennel assistants the’re not fond off!!

Enjoyed your antics Jake,Iv’e just got back from a 2 night overnighter on some carp lake.With the bad weather, and a 6 week trip late last year in the Oregon,it’s been the first chance that Iv’e had to get out on the bank. No carp i’m afraid but I did manage a 10lb pike on a banana pop up.(At least one fish was hungry) You have plenty of time left for this fishing lark as i’m still dead keen going on 69…..
Looking forward to Feb……

Yeah it does seem like 95% of weaters in Europe are still iced over!!! I am surprised this lake isn’t – it is freezing this morning as I write this outside in my office!!

Both my dogs were about five hundred quid…they have a good pedigree background and both have a champion in their bloodline. It is not essential when picking a Doberman but you should always choose carefully. If you are serious buy a couple of books about the breed before you go to pick a puppy. They tell you what to look out for, what you are getting yourself in for etc… Clean ears, clean teeth, bright eyes, and a good posture are things you should look for in a puppy. A Doberman is a very loyal animal and will be your friend for life mate!!! They do have various pedigree associated health problems unfortunately that can appear during their life, but this is typical of all specially bred dogs. Mine fortunately have had very little wrong with them! Oh and have your dog insured with PetPlan…..very advisable. Covers all your vet bills and only costs about 15 quid a month.

Hope that helps.

Yeah it was a shame they did not continue the video, but the guy recording was worried about my battery! The one in the camcorder was still full, I had a spare and chargers….nevermind. It is not everyday you get a live opportunity like that one but one day it might happen again!!!
See you at CarpItaly!!

Hi Jake
I had the canoe trick on the Orient except it was a yacht… wiped me out just as it was getting dark and I had spent two hours placing my lines… I think I taught hil a few new French swear words.
You mention videos above… perhaps if you have nothing better to do you can check out my Vimeo channel..http://vimeo.com/channels/64836

Cheers
Gareth
