"Bi-annual? you only take her out twice a year?"

Only if I am really unlucky.(;-) I would lend her out for training
purposes but I could not take the hate mail afterwards.

After being forced into retirement she is the breadwinner so I am the one
with the crumbs now.VBG

ouch! under the thumb is same as ! i know how it feels.

No chance as I am 6 foot and she is only 4 foot 10. So more like on it.(;-)

Well it was not a bad day all in all. Did not land any really large fish but
had about 10 up to 2 lbs. Lost one thanks to my stupidity. My youngest
grandson was with me when I hit into something with a lot of weight, I
assumed it was a bream as it started off sluggish so I let him help me and
it was just at the point of getting him to hold the rod with me that this
fish went wild. If it was a bream it was huge but I am thinking big tench or
moderate carp, anyhow it slipped the hook and I lost it. All my fault.

The landing net is in the biological washing powder so thanks Derek.

The wife caught well, nothing large but lots of small roach and only
bothered me a couple of times to sort tangles or disgorge a perch or two.

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.

I do wish I had banked the really big though.

Not able to get back out there for 8 days now due to appointments and blood
tests,supposed to be good weather after the weekend as well.

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
