And thatās what they do in their free time? I can only imagine what they do work wise 
[quote=āTHE LINK WALSHā]I caught a 2.5lb brown trout under Ballygallon stud in Inistioge with a bubble and flies at around 10pm one Summers night in 1992,
it was almost dark and he was only a foot from the bank when i hooked into him,he looked about 6lb compared with two others id caught earlier,those were the days i hadnt a trouble in the world.[/QUOTE]

Talking to my local trapper today. He trapped a mink which had killed 12 chickens down the road. Brought the fcuker back to the ākilling fieldsā and set the terriers on him. A terrier v a mink in a confined space or a hole is a fair fight, the terrier though is far superior on open ground. This baiting took place on open ground. Resultā¦one very dead mink. 
Is a trapper a dole layabout or someone skilled in the act of catching animals. Please explain as I would have thought catching a mink would be near impossible. Also why didnāt he skin it, I thought their pelts were worth money.
This trapper is gainfully self-employed but is the authority on matters of trapping and rustic country pursuits in general. Minks are difficult to trap but by no means impossible to the skilled bush craftsman.
[quote=āballoobasluvsbeerā]Unfortunetly I never landed or saw a 4pound brownie ever. Read it again Fitzy, a three quarter pound brown I landed. Biggest I ever caught on the local river at home was a pound and a half, always with a worm and a weight only.
I had no lead for a weight onetime so tied a new fence nail to it(canāt think of the proper name the U shaped nails)and used to catch a heap of trout with that.
I reckon it was because the nail was so shiny in the water it attracted them to the area in the first place.[/quote]
Sorry Balooba, nice all the same. Have you ever landed a sea (white) trout?
Bubble fishing with a fly is BTW completely illegal and anyone using this method should be shot.

No itās not.
It may be banned on particular rivers but it is in no way a country wide law.
Landed some fine Sea Trout in my time. Took six under a full moon at the mouth of the river mahon, just behing the beach in Bunmahon one August nightā¦ Got them on silver spinners. Good times.
A weasel is weasely seen but a stoat is stoatally different
Iām surprised to see the puke hasnāt added his voice to this thread yet
Minking is a bit working class for the likes of Puke, WTB. More of a fella to go shooting grouse than frolic with vermin like mink Iād say.

Huh??? Is this true?
My local mechanic, jacked up a crocked car last week and found a crazed mink under it, there has been a spate of attacks by the cunts recently. I bet that was a mink that attacked Lohan.

Puke reckons it was a pinemartin. Canāt remember what thread it was in but the dog has lost an eye.
Here it is:
Iāve never seen a pine martin myself.

They are hardy boyos alright, they are fearless. Iām told they are one of the few lads who will take on a mink if they come across one.
I wish Pukeās dog all the best.
