Goodby everyone, I have enjoyed it but Tony has asked me to leave "you seem like a pedantic antagonist that enjoys pushing peoples buttons" Thank you Red. Angts, I never could figure out skype yet, but thank you for your friendly gesture.

Hello Tonyuk. Tell us how to bake fish, I liked the pecan crusted redfish a lot but tonight will be speck fillets, smaller and without the hard scales to keep them nice. I think I will do one fillet dipped in flour, then an egg wash, then into a crushed nut mix of: nuts (either pecan, walnut of...

It is the whole local name thing. Here what you likely call whiting (and is correctly Gulf Kingfish, although a more un-kingly fish is hard to imagine) we call 'Ground Mullet'. The Grey Mullet you are thinking of is called pop-eye mullet here - utterly different fish; what goes on with naming...

Getting dusk and I have wasted hours inside before I realized - time to lock up the bad chickens and maybe put out some shrimp bait - but invasive species.........all around here, terrible. I love the beavers for what they do in their right place, I have caught so many trout from beaver dams...

Gooner, I saw is where you are posting from - I happen to be using a Kent IP address now because of all the good times I had there - my parents had a terrace house in Ramsgate as a beach house for 30 years and I would stay there a lot, about a mile walk to the Harbour - Peter's fish and chips...

Thank you Gooner. The wonderful writer, Peter Flemming, (Ian's brother) of amazing books on travels in remote places was a huge sportsman and told of how no fish we ever catch exceeds the first sticklebacks caught with a jam jar on a string and some crumbs. The most memorable fishing I have was...

Are there threads on BG? I have always been an outdoors-man and watched one of his shows a few Years ago and took such an intense dislike to him I was even surprised. I do not watch that kind of reality stuff, but it came on..........What a total wan*** I thought - is this a common view here...

OK, I get it, no religion... So is this the thread where we can discuss race and immigration then? Because I have lots to say........... Now I have been amongst wolves, oddly enough as a kid I was on a wolf hunt as the spotlight holder wile spotlight hunting wolves in the Hindu-Kush...

"There's already been a thread closing and some other actions taken in part from members not following our No Religion Rule this week. " I for one am very upset by people flouting their atheism in public. Certainly a religion as much as any of the other non-theistic ones are. Which I could...

I make some Thai food well, or at least we like it, but tried Thai fishcakes and did not like them (the dogs did). The fish sauce seemed to make the real fish taste off. Peas, toasted baguette, gumbo soup, and chocolate peanut-butter cup ice-cream. I think it would be fun to see what...

Grits, a wonderful food - I have some cooking now. 1/4 C grits (quick ones) 1 C water, microwave, wait a bit, microwave - hot grits. I like mine with butter and honey. Last night I made Thai fishcakes - I did not like them, I think I am not into 'fish sauce' that is the main flavoring. Back...

I love pumpkin pie - Goat your bad pie is not normal, they are wonderful. I made a peach pie last night and it will be very much enjoyed tonight. I Aways keep a pie in the refrigerator - I am making a berry pie for my wife's friend as she is not feeling great. Anyone get sick and I make them...

I should be planting - yesterday I got a couple beet seeds in, they are such a troublesome crop for me. If they establish well - right heat and rain, they thrive. Once they get a bit stunted they never recover, and this is half the time. Got another row of carrots in - my sandy soil in a raised...

I am such a frugal person I do not have a cell phone, let alone a smart phone. On the tube I am amazed at everyone holding their phone and focusing on it. I did build 3 big planters from salvaged wood. I cut 16 2X6 pressure treated boards- from a set of of stairs being demolished, very...

Thankyou Red, I am not sure of how to post addresses, I can give you my parents address in London as they send me letters and could send it on very easily - and there is always coming and going from there. Or give my address here, does one just post it and later delete it? Of old times - My...

Come on - someone must fish - or eat fish, or want to learn to fish - I am expert at catching fish to eat in most climates/habitats. I have caught thousands of trout (for example) from Afghanistan to Alaska, North Africa to Arctic. Much of those were eaten. I am good at fresh water fish, salt...

Thankyou red. Here I think we have to get parsnips planted by late January, or in winter - they are worse about heat than carrots - the problem is I heard their seeds have a very short life - and could be why I have zero luck with them, using seeds bought out of whack with the normal planting...

Tell me about fishing in Brighton - and the dreaded Asian carp is taking over rivers in USA and leaps when boats pass - here is a guy making a point about being hit by fish - like being hit by a small bus, it is an actual problem. They even hunt them with bows wile the fish is in the air! And...

"No-one lies on their death bed thinking "I wish I'd spent more time at work"" I don't know Red - a slothful person on their death bed would likely say the opposite; thinking on the wasted years. Your quote seems more like one from someone who had a vibrant personal life and sufficient...

This video is from last year - and it shows the shrimp may be too late, they only came in for a brief spell, and are not here now. Next week I will work on shrimp before the season has gone and not getting any https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi0N2Qed36c I know it is too long, but shows a...
