Hi Geoff
Welcome onboard the forum.
I am sure you will enjoy PBSBAC and the website. It is full tonnes of useful (and useless) information and there are dozens of other old duffers just like you to make you feel very much at home.
Let's hope we can get out fishing at least once this coming year!
All the best
Tom
Hi Geoff and welcome.
By the way Tom, I see you have gone all metric!! 
Tonnes of advice!!! Let me tell you young fellah me lad 
us 'old duffers' are firmly imperial with our advice of which we give tons (whether its asked for or not 
)

I might be an old duffer but I'm slowly going metric, inch by inch

Apparantly 35/64th of the population favour decimalisation, but the other 0.4 don't.
and I could not fail to disagree with them less.

There are only 10 people that understand binary. Those that do and those that don't.

Geoff you daft old wotsit, you are supposed to sign in first!
Getting the hang of this at last! remembering to 'sign in & stuff' looking forward to the new season with loads of new ideas...anyone tried mussels & cockles as bait for bream?
I've used mussels with limited success, but never used cockles.
The skirts of ????? are supposed to be good.

Scallops, I think are great for bream.
Thats scallop frills for bream, not the lacy bits off ure wifes smalls!!!!! Also try live prawns for the old Bream, they love em.......and if the Bream aren't biting on prawn, send them over to me......I also love prawns!!
Seriously, scallop frills are a top bait, if you can find a hotel that serves them, scrape out the shells and freeze it all down.

Sandeels are great if you can afford it.
