Hi Sea Drifter has gone..and now my old fishing car..what have I done?

Yes, after selling Hi Sea Drifter, possibly the most famous small fishing boat in the world, GP has finally called time on his old fishing car. A vehicle that has seen many successful fishing trips and even been used for overnight camping in order to cram in the best dawn fishing times. Everything must come to an end, but what exactly has he moved in as a replacement? There's a dial on the dashboard that bothers him...it's saying 160!! Check out the film to see the replacement. Then there is an update on the summer planting, with some great success stories, a broken rod repair..some great footage of the summer field cutting together with Colin the Kite and finally Grant's Tackle Up talking through one of the suspended Catfish rigs that might see you on the road to that extra large specimen Moggie...Sit back and be whisked away to the World of the Totally Awesome Fishing Show.

[@freff890]

Graeme, you might try hot glue to fix on the tip eye. Simply heat the glue stick over a lighter flame and apply to rod. Slide on eye, adjust for alignment...job done. It can also be removed by heating the same way if you want to change it in the future. Super glue especially toughened with powder is permanent and if the eye gets broken in the future the rod will need to be cut to remove it.

Graeme. As a long time subscriber to you I can say it's not going to be the same without the boat. But as it was a big job to use it, it's good to know it's got a new home. As for the car. My parents have always driven a manual, but when they got a newer car a few years ago they got a Toyota hybrid. They wish that they had done it years ago as it's so much better for my parents. You will find yourself having a calmer drive because there's less for you to do. Have a great time in it, you deserve it. 😀👍

Alittle baking soda and then the drop of super glue will make it hard as a rock and fill the small gap but careful once it's mixed it's instantly hard

A couple of layers of Sellotape (other brands are available) on either side of that broken lid would solve your problem Graeme. I know because I have a similar broken lid on one of my boxes. :)

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

With regards to the tubing/hose on your Peugeot estate. If you can find a local shop or business that specialises in building/repairing or selling industrial machinery. They might have some industrial/hydraulic hoses that will fit your car. Get a mechanic to remove the perished tubing and take it to the hydraulic hose shop and see iif they have the correct size to match it. Since the hose/tubing (whatever you want to call it...) is only used to transport coolant, an industrial grade hydraulic hose will be perfectly fine and probably overkill but it will do the job no problem.

Lane departure warning is a standard safety feature on modern cars, I'd definitely recommend switching it off on B roads because it will try to put you in the hedge from time to time. Be careful with wildflower seeds, lots of them contain a sort of giant clover looking thing which will run riot in your flower beds. It has caused no end of headaches for me when clients have sprinkled them in flower beds that I've spent years getting under control

[@TAFishing]

Aah,that's worth knowing because there is one in there that looks like a giant Clover leaf...I am in pots but won't let them run to seed and blow elsewhere. Thanks for the tip. That lane departure warning is a pain in the bait box. Every time I crossed a bit of painted road it would tweak at the steering wheel which is unnerving...I try to switch it off but it must be set as default to be on when you first start up,so you have to make a point of turning it off straight away. I'm sure there are a load of other features I don't want/need but have yet to discover them..

That spear blade plant is called Hard rush (Juncus inflexus). I lost a huge chub once when fishing the Warwickshire Avon. The fish buried itself in the stuff on the far bank and pinged off.

[@TAFishing]

It is indeed nightmare stuff,I find it rare to get a fish out once it has buried,and somehow they seem to depart leaving just the hook in the stem,and then its pulling for a break. Needs cutting out of all rivesr I feel, a bit of the old fashioned river management.

Sorry Graham but that is a terrible tip repair. The tip ring is too big, it needs to fit more snugly otherwise there will be stress points which will break the tip again. If they are as loose as that you must use araldite but bulk out the gap for a better fit with a cross weave of whipping then twist the tip into position. The remaining eye near the tip is too close . It needs to have whipping cut free with a Stanley blade and re whipped on further back for an even spacing. I have built my own rods from blanks and repaired numerous others since the 1970s.
