They look Fantastic David! Johno, RE: various Forum names. Is that an invitation for some suggestions?.... i'm sure the folks here would be happy to assist, although you may not find all favourable. :) Cheers. James (jammyj / jaminator / jamesh / jdh ........ :wink: )

Well... after reading the story and seeing the pics at lunch the other day... it looked handy enough so i just had to make one... about 2ft long. 15mm light steel Tube (a spare curtain rail)....some BBQ skeewers and a bit of foam cut to suit the bore. Wow... I cant believe how this thing...

well... bedtime last night and after stories (and playing the 'try and tackle daddy to the floor' game :) ) both Emily and Euan were tucked into thier Beds. I remembered this post and went into Euan's room... he was still awake. I climbed onto his bed beside him.... his nose and eyes were...

Hi Bellybuster.. thanks for you comments. Not been to the blarney stone yet though :wink: The wounds could be prop damage as this is a well used waterway......although i have had fish with marks like that before from lakes that dont have any boats. May be he has been caught before and...

Thks for the comments guys... A v' special time. Hopefully the first of many! (Boats and fish :wink: )

Very nice looking boat. My question is... Did he catch anything? If I hooked into a fish i think i would forget about ballance.... :D

Well… Saturday morning so up early and took the 2 kids to father and toddlers (Bacon and cheese in croissants and a cup of tea while the kids play.. hard to beat) My wife picked my daughter up to head off to a birthday party…. So a short walk homw and Euan and myself loaded the canoe onto the...

Sounds like a good formula to me. :) although i'm learning paddling is part of the fun. Trawling behind though can be very effective to when moving about. Being mainly a fly fisherman... I remember reading somewhere regarding fancy casting: "A fly in the water catches a lot more fish than a...

Hi chuck.. yes real cold weather...never had the rod rings on the fly rod freezing up before. This has been the coldest winter i can remember. Bacon butties.... well not too sophisticated. :) We call anything here between bread and butter a"Butty"...

Well…my mate Chris who I’ve known since we were Babies is getting married in 5 weeks time so the weekend past weekend was his “stag do”, which was a weekend on Lough Erne in Co Fermanagh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lough_Erne) which is a 26 odd mile long waterway… an amazingly beautiful...

Thanks for the input. I got the knife out.... and took a pic. (don't think i'll put it up though....I use a personal file on the back of our church website to host my photos for online use... family and build pics not a problem but just dont think it would look very good, having a picture of a...

Looking good Chuck... :) I really like the dark colour of the maple wood flour. That boat would be a fine job for fishing for trout on the wild irish loughs. James.

(hopefully this is the correct section...) I have a knife... spanish made cheapish cost around 20 dollars i reckon with a 12inch blade. I had bought it for general purpose hunting/camping. i used it to cut twigs for hides etc when shooting crows and pigeons. one day i chopped a stick that had a...

Re: 11.6 ft pirogue.. build pics(LAUNCH!) The best thing since sliced bread..... well thats what it felt like saturday morning. The temperature here has shot up in last 7 days from -6 degc to 8 degc (for most of you guys 21 to 47 i think)and with some heavy rain the snow has all washed away...

Re: 11.6 ft pirogue.. build pics. pure genious....lol :wink: will hope to make another "Proper sized" one when the kids are bigger. A few months back when i was in the process of making the Kids paddles for this one.... I got a text while in work saying "It looks like your going to have to...

Re: 11.6 ft pirogue.. build pics. Hi David, I'll get back to you on that when i get in on the water :| hopefully i don't get in and the water comes up to an inch from the top.... or even over. I weigh 12st ... which google tells me is 168lbs. about 10 years ago i used to have a little...

Re: Fishing Over Christmas hols

Thought i'd post a fishing trip report from last week to give a gauge of what the fishing is like over here. For last few years i have read posts from that side of the pond with photos of huge stripped bass off cape cod etc. Was off work for 2 weeks so managed to get a morning out fishing...
