Me at the table with the creel and Barry working the hauler



    agree with yous. I was close to goin fishin, but saw an advert for clyde marine and became an engineer instead.
    Might go fishin when I retire (at 40).

    on the subject of gloves, I use bait thats at least a year old,so i wouldnt consider takin the lid off the pail without gloves on.
