Title: hi from the UK
Post by: piscatorUK on December 05, 2011, 10:37:57 PM
many thanks for this site I googled Penn 330 gti and found you and successfully stripped and rebuilt it this afternoon using your pics. It now works whereas last time I fished the freespool was sticking. I cleaned off the old grease in petrol and relubed and my old reel is fine. Need to do the same for the 245 LD now (or was it 225 hmm I'll go look)

thanks

Hello piscatorUK.
We have a couple of piscas here also, from the western side of the state, norcal pescador and pescachaser. They get a little crazy every now and then, but don't let that fool you...they're as sharp as a Gamakatsu hook. Welcome and enjoy your stay. Sal

Welcome aboard piscatorUK: I really am sharp as a ringed Owner hook.  Those suckers are so sharp I hate to touch them, but they will bite into fish lips.  Dominick

I am from East Sussex on the English channel coast near Hastings, mainly a kayak fisher these days though we can only envy the conditions some of you people from warmer climates fish in. Drysuits all year round for me! I belong to a UK kayak forum anglersafloat.co.uk and I posted about this site there as I found it so useful .

Hi.

Some of us are seeing 7°F-10°F in the morning.....it's hard to kayak on ice.  What do you catch?
