Mungler Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 But the shop has a max of 40. And the major difference between a 10 oz and 8 oz weight is...... (apart from 2 ozs of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I am picking up a dozen 10oz leads on the wednesday from Hastings. If I remember rightly they are £1.05 each. If anyone wants any then shout. I have ordered a dozen for myself and Bob but I am sure I can order some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hiring tackle for the day, so will have a rod and reel, plus the lures that EE has sorted for us, but apart from that I dont know what I need.

Raja Clavata Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Martin, A dozen for Duncan and I would be appreciated Baz, I know it's near Brighton but it don't mean you have to "go on a bender" - we was thinking a couple beers to wash down a steak and chips.

Evil Elvis Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Dude when have we EVER got together in a hotel and not been sheet faced? I cant afford it, so Ill just come down on the day with Mungler and bagsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Can you re-phrase that first part a bit please mate Fair cop, gonna see how the week pans out and decide a bit later on. What time would you be leaving Mungs gaff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Let me get this clear, the only kit I have is a load of those anti sea sickness wrist bands I bought off ebay. I will be bringing a large packed lunch, some beer, sun cream, some plastic bags to throw up into and some money for hire of kit and whatever else I am supposed to be throwing over the side of the boat.

MC Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 OK, I have e mailled Hastings Angling centre to see if he has 48 in stock or if he can get them. According to his website they are £1.05 each. I am going to try and negotiate a discount with him as we will be buying just over £50's worth. Mungler, The sea sick bands don't work, get yourself to Boots and get some Joy Rides tablets. They are THE business, take it from someone who suffers BADLY from seasickness.

Evil Elvis Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Mung, half the battle is in your head, if you believe you are going to be you will!!!! AND...you will not be vomitting in bags......Have you never heard of GROUNDBAIT? i HAVE SOME OF THE "GOOD STUFF" IF YOU DO GET SICK....AND ITS WORTH CONSIDERING THE "OTHER" TECHNIQUE I MENTIONED TO YOU.

Raja Clavata Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) Another vote for joy rides - never taken them myself but know several others that swear by them Just make sure you take the tablets at the right time (not as you step on the boat) and have a decent breakfast, you'll be fine. edit: Baz - any idea at what wind speed the trip is likely to get blown off? windguru is predicting some pretty iffy numbers at the moment...

MC Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 OK, I have had a reply back from HAstings Angling and they have the 48 10 oz leads in stock and they are ordered in my name. I will collect them on wednesday afternoon. They are £1.05 pence each or £6.30 of each of you. I will do my best to haggle the price though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
