#1 Post by roger de dodger »

well how do you like yours ?personally i bring boiled water in the flask ,tea bags,sugar,milk and spoon and make it as required in a travell mug ,if on a long or all night session the camping stove goes in the van ,eric makes it at home and puts it in the flask ,i,ve tried this and it tastes like crap :roll: now eric does drink his black though ! :lol: :lol: (no pun intended) :mrgreen:
dennis likes tea but seems not to have a flask :evil: so drinks mine ,he recons its orgasmick ,lets face it tea always tastes good if someone else makes it :roll: so come on lads any tips or tricks to make these cold winter sessions a bit more bearable :idea:
i avoid coffee because it makes me leak alot being a diaretic

a huge flask of slightly milky very sweet filter coffee does it for me. nothing like a hot drink on a cold night to cheer and warm you up, especially if you aren't catching.

1. Get 1 spoonful of coffee, 1 spoonful of sugar. Put into good travelmug. For handiness sake put in spoon also (spoon must be small enough to enable lid to close). I also put in Twix or other bar,,also in mug.

2. Go fishing and wait as long as possible to drink the coffee,, this can help to alleviate unnecessary leak breaks.

3.Remove twix or similar bar from mug and add in boiling water to contents of mug. Stir well. Affix top to mug and leave on a STABLE surface to brew :oops: :oops: .

4. Press to lips and enjoy ,,,,,and feel the warmth coming back into your outer extremities.

5. Check for passerbys,,,,,,turn off lights,,,,check wind direction,,,,,then remove layers of clothing from nether regions and urinate ,,,at least 10m from your fishing site

WARNING TRY TO AVOID STEP 5. ABOVE AS IT CAN CAN LEAD TO HEAT LOSS FROM VITAL AREAS WHICH MAY CUT SHORT YOUR FISHING TIME

tough question Rodger, start everyday with a fresh cup of coffee from UCD, love a cup of soup and am partial to the odd cup of coco, but have to say i always reach for the tea when off to freeze me todd of fishing :shock:

"other" because i always forget my flask no matter where i leave it i can practically fall over it on the way out the door and still manage to forget it
2009 would like to hit 20 this year

there's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

I only fish with lures so I like to travel light. There is always a 1/2L bottle of water in my backbag. Now I have to make room for a 1/2L flask of Italian coffee with milk and sugar.... So 'proper' latte it is for me! :P :P

Soup or tea gets my vote at this time of year, rest of the year though bottle of water does the job.

I like the idea John 8) could have done with some tonight / last night... do you make it up in the flask,

I was tea total but after seeing this i want something with a bit of body in it... how do you make it up pray tell.
