One other way for fatties,no one bought toasting forks years ago. Your dad had one made courtesy of NUM blacksmiths. We all lined out at an estuary and slowly walked in line when you felt something under your toes(barefoot), you stabbed it with your mother's toasting fork! Normally small fatties,sometimes prawns shrimps, they all got eaten.

Yes it was done for food rather than sport,we did it on sandy beaches so flattys were the usual targets.

It was usually when we all camped at the beach,even though we only lived 1/2 mile from the shore. The other method was a (set) line put out at low tide again baited hooks every couple of yards. Left until next low tide to retreive

Hi, We used to something similar but smaller scale up here in Northumberland when I was younger. Called a West winder because you needed a West wind to take the wooden platform out to sea. Baited line was coiled on top,probably about 200 yes. As kids we didn't catch much but mackerel,cod,pollack would occasionally come back in.

Hi, I'm very interested, what size foot are they,and not being funny but why are you selling them? Pm me answers if that's better. Thanks

It's enough to drive you to the pub,oh hell!!

If this is still available I'll take it, pm me please

lovely stock on that gun,what model is it? Ive been looking for a new/used Beretta but would like fixed choke (get sick messing about with chokes) my old 686 Onyx hasnt had chokes out in about 15 years!!.Good luck with new gun,pattern plate would help.

Hi, Plus 1 for the Titan 43cc. I bought mine from screwfix last year did heavyish work twice month through cutting season never missed a beat.I got it as stop gap originally but will run it until it gives up.

Thanks for reply's ,Ive had a 686 \onyx for about 18yrs about 15 yrs ago I left the chokes in that I normally used and they have stayed in,never removed so will be well locked in place.Which Im fine with. The reality is that Beretta have an astronomical amount of models, very very similar to each other,its abit bewildering. Also when looking on GT the Beretta trap guns always seem to have better wood than the equivalent field/game models! Thanks again toads

Hi All, Im after some advice concerning which Beretta models are fixed choke. I would be looking at 686,687,mostly,but newer used ones in the same sort of price bracket. Im not really a fan of chopping and changing chokes. Any advice appreciated.

I bought a Kofs 28 bore the day before my shoots keepers day last season. I was back gun most of the day mopping up pricked birds, and some missed ones.Didnt hit everything but was very pleased with how it performed.It feels like a "proper" gun. As has been mentioned £500 happy customer. atb toads

Very handsome beast,hope he gets a good home.

Hi spandit,My L200 glass exploded few weeks ago.Id had it up for an hour in the sun while working .It def blew up!!.Anyway Ive ended up going down the acrylic route.Toughened glass was in the £150 area acrylic £40. I think it will take a long time before any noticeable discolouring.I had to get clear and will need to drill holes for handles.

Great read. Myself and bunch of friends used to look forward to mink hounds coming up here to Northumberland,river Coquet ,Wansbeck etc.Thoroughly enjoyable. Same with the greyhounds for organised coursing.One day they had 21 courses and two puppie runs and not one hare killed! the club members were over the moon and could not believe the quality of "our hares".

Hi Reddog line received just the job thanks toads

Hi Reddog Transfer sent this morning. pm you my name and address earlier

Hi Reddog,Just seen your post if still available and you would take £10 posted I'll take it.regards toads

I thought exactly as previously stated as I watched - looked like lots of birds dropped either dead or pricked into standing rape so very difficult to retrieve. That said they could of had good go later. That Irish fella seems to be the in thing at the moment. Getting lots of invites and offers to try different kit (guns,coats etc etc) which all seems to be a must have. Gets a little boring to be honest. Yes I'm little jealous.

Hi all, Well had a round blow up on firing is the only way I can describe it. Very shocked what felt like hot metal hitting my face and trigger hand. Ringing in my ears (tinitus which I already had after having radiotherapy). And what turned out to be part of bullet stuck in barrel. I've gave rifle to RFD who has contacted supplier,see what happens but has put me off calibrate for sure.

Hi Red-dot, I'm after pair boots for everyday knocking about so comfort is important. What the sizing of these I would like wider fitting as problem with one foot. As you say that price is very good.

Hi Rupert, Sorry but she thinks it's the large on photos, so too big. Good luck with the sale.toads
