Hi Mike. Thank you for your comment. Ooooo! That's how it starts bud...then it builds to something uncontrollable 😂😂😂😂 Please let us know if you do.😁👌 All the best. Baz.😉👍

🤣🤣🤣 that's brilliant bud. Loved that comment 🙈🤣🤣🤣😉👍

Hi Neil. Wow! Yup, that's definitely a lost art now a days. Fishermen today are absolutely spoiled with being able to buy netting already made. I'd love to learn how the old boys used to do it...but sadly there's none left to teach.😥👎 Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas period. 🎄🎅🎁🎁🎉😉👍 All the very best.😁👌

Hi Michael Thank you so much for your kind comment and support. We really appreciate it. As for the pollution question ( which is a good one, sir) I think fishermen are more aware of the impact they are making on this planet. Most fishermen make the correct choices for their business's with materials that are cost viable, and unfortunately their is a lot of plastic in those materials. Back in the day, creels were made from all wood and hassan netting, which were all bio degradable materials, which were ready available at that time. These days, the cost of these types of materials is ridiculous. Take, for example, 12mm rope. I can get the top brand of today's synthetic rope for £71 for 220 meters per coil. If I were to buy the same amount on hessian rope, that 220m coil would cost me £320 plus vat😲 So, with fishing being a very expensive game as is, you can see why the fishermen don't go down the more sustainable route. I hope that helps answer your question. Bruce is an absolutely diamond of a guy. Love his channel also. We hope you enjoy your catch-up on both channels.😁👌 All the best

Hi Jarrod. Thank you so much for your comment. We really appreciate it.😁 The door over the side, instead of the ends, was actually my late father's idea...I think he was a bit miffed, of the end doors always being opened after a bit of weather.😂😂😂😂 it's just stuck from there.😂😂😂 Yeah, we'll be trying parlours maybe next year...this years coming, is just about us getting on our feet.🤞😁👌 Hope you have a great weekend. All the best. 😁

@@onemanandhisboat cheers Barry I May modify a couple of mine and try them out 👍 hope you all have a great Xmas and happy new year keep up the good work

Let us know how you get on bud. Most of the Dunbar men, don't have the trays ( too much hassle with the rubber) but there gear is trash within 5 years max. 😲 The gears expensive enough without getting through them quickly. 😁👌😉👍 Same to you bud. We hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas period. All the very best. 😁👌

😂😂😂 I totally get that. It does take a wee while to perfect the correct size, and it only comes with practice. Sometimes, I can still do a repair and look at it and think that looks like 💩🙈😂😂😂😂 so, you're not the only one.😂😂😂😁👌 All the best, mate.😊

Hi Alan. Thank you so much for your comment, we really appreciate every single one.😉👍 I would say so, for the plastic bottoms, but mind you, I wouldn't like to see the price if them now a days. 4 tears ago, they were £7 a pop, including VAT. 😁👌 But, for the age of the creel, it increases the life time, ten fold. 2 of my fleets are nearly 7 years old...and you can't even tell which ones.😂😂😂😁👌 Hope you and your family. Have a wonderful Christmas period. All the best. Baz.😁

Hi David. Thank you for your comment and question. It depends on circumstance, really. If the creels get caught out in shallow water in a storm,then quite often. But this is only a once a year going over. It's good to keep on top of the gear as they will certainly catch better. All the best.😊
