I had a set of stainless steel buzz bars and bank sticks very chunky and heavy cost me a fortune but couldn’t tighten them really down so I swapped the rubber o rings for the leather ones which cured the problem…. But I sold them on there were just to heavy
I used to use a garden fork always hard digging with the stones and mug but good results, I broke a fare amount of forks till I got hold of a all metal fork, my knuckle was always sore on my left hand nearest the prongs and in the winter Brrrr 🥶
I always forget to tell my mate my lead bag is in his rucksack then when we get to our faraway swim suddenly I would remember…this has happened several times 😇
I rode over the dock to check out the Carp in their spawning areas to numerous to count them, still a bit of gentle foreplay going on…wish they get a move on 🙄
I used to dig Rag and Lugworm in my teens for the sea anglers who fished the local foreshore for the big opens near me and would fish in the dock for small Pouting for Conger baits used to keep them alive in a bucket, I always cut the tail so they couldn’t weigh them in. Cant remember what I charged them tho …it was 50 odd years ago 😳
I hope you don’t mind me saying Elmo but I’m concerned about your back door not the condition of it, but saying that it could do with a bit of TLC…just saying 😉 It’s the bottom panel of the door. I strengthened the other side of the panel of my door with half inch MDF after repairing a friend’s door similar to yous she had a break in what they did was kick in the panel as it’s quarter inch plywood..Fast forward a year and I noticed someone had a go at my door in the same spot but luckily the mdf saved the day.
When i was fishing I asked a guy who a syndicate member of the lake nx door how was it fishing and he said they had a a tragedy on the lake the day before a angler had a fit fell into the lake and drowned, he was 27 years old and left a wife and two young children.
So sad.
