It was after I had been away for a weekend some time ago with the boys for some intensive fishing (as opposed to catching) that the madness struck – I make no excuses for it – when you go away for a long weekend fishing all you do is think trout, talk about trout and…

Tenuous Fishing Photos 5/52
Seemingly there are 5 weeks in January. For Christmas a netbook arrived in the house: This fantastic wee mini laptop keeps me posting on this blog and writing in the forum – I look at writing on here as an extension of my fishing – I also get to look back in my diary at warmer…

Kelvinography – Fishing Boat Engines
[singlepic id=90 w=320 h=240 float=center] Motor powered fishing boats appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. The first Scottish motor powered fishing boat was ‘Crystal River’ of Wick, with Eyemouth’s ‘Maggie Jane’s’ the second. Early fishing boat engines cost from £70 to £100.
