The rain held off in the main but the wife nearly did a Mary Poppins with
my brollie. I had to do a runner to the nearby pub as I had urgent need of
their loo. As I reached the other side of the lake the wind got up, not
mine, so I rang the misses to tell her to take down my brollie. She
mumbled something then as I walked on she came into view. Seems the
brollie had already tried to take off and when I phoned she was fighting
the brollie with a sandwich in her mouth and the phone in her hand. I
really wish I had taken my camera round with me.

would have loved to see that hehe.

A quick and stupid question about keep nets. I bought a keep net last year
but never even opened the packet. Took it today but was unable to use it
as it bloody floats and has no weights on the lower end. Am I missing
something here or is there a new idea about keep nets



keepnets are unfortunately made that way now unless you pay the big bux, i
have 2 that dont sink well
i have stitched a couple of small weights onto the opposite ends of the
bottom in order to sink them.
nothing worse than trying to land with them if the water is on the move,
more fighting than the flamin
catch hehe. if it has the straight seam on the bottom you may be able to do
same as me with a small
weight each end the seam, if its a round bottom then a single wieght in the
middle should do it, perhaps
a small 1/2 ounce ledger type weight or something like that?
