I had a hearty guffaw when I read that you actually went & had some bacon

Fried in lard until nice and crispy then served in a bap, smeared in butter. One good squirt of French's mustard and away you go!

Thanks for the idea!

Inspired me to have a mini baguette with smoked bacon wholegrain mustard and a bit of Brie. Shame it's lunchtime quite fancy a pint of Guinness with it.

Hi mike

Yes had a few all on bloodworm. Good hard fighting fish. Was surprised at the amount of guys out fishing. It was Baltic and wet but I enjoyed every bit of it. Got lots of good warm layers nowadays only part that needs sorting is feet, my feet were frozen. Will start a thread about that actually.

Started a thread on footwear and socks last night but lost it all while trying to add links.
I had been looking at sealskinz socks, how do these orvis compare? I'm gonna get a bigger pair of wellies to accommodate thick socks. Tight fit is apparently the main cause of cold feet, well after temperature.... Have seen elsewhere people suggest 3 sizes bigger than your normal? Sounds v big to me. Any suggestions?

[Sandy Nelson]

Yeah......Try them on first

Real rubber and Neoprene lined are brilliant and mine fit with a wee bit of room over a good pair of  bridgedale heavyweight socks.
Not enough room to move my feet around but enough not to feel snug

Good wellies are worth paying for, however john Norris often has slight seconds that are superb value

Hi Noel
Believe Graham was out on Millbuies Sat and was nailing them on the dries    Must be anti-freeze in the water 
Me?  I wiz whimperin inside tying flees with a visit to see the new Bond in between. 

[Noel Kelly]

Thanks Sandy some pretty good deals there alright obviously won't be able to try them on though! Think 3sizes is a bit much may go for 2
Jim are you serious? Have you tried them yourself?

[Sandy Nelson]

Noel

If i remember right, we have the same size shoes i take a 10 1/2 or an 11 depending on the shoe.
My wellies are a 46 or  size 11 and they are ideal. I wouldn't be going 2 sizes up.
If you go into country ways in town they have a good selection of nice boots to try on.
Ben should have quite a few in the shop as well
Definately worth trying on a few first IMHO.
