Norrie Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) I am absolutely loving this hobby....and I can only blame three people for my obsession... You know who you are,..... @Fred Karno's Army @Lenny and @Bil4338 I've been after a marching compass since i got my fantastic P11 Aircraft compass off a fantastic member of the MCN...and this evening, got this on the bay of evil.... I'm really excited about getting this, for not a lot of money, in fact, was quite surprised to get it for so little...and its got it's case too... BTW, @Bil4338 Got myself a lightweight, correctly dated gas mask bag for my dummies webbing....the big early one can come off soon...

LOL...Yep, @Davejb tis too... I fished for and caught dozens of those big girls for the Scottish Natural History Museums Bio Diversity action plan, all were measured and tagged...I (again) learned from the master of such fishing...We fished with 2lb weights, 100lb braid, and maybe a 2lb Rainbow Trout Or Coalie for bait...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I,d be happy with the bloody rainbow trout, I caught three in our local river and they went down very well with a glass of Chabli!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
