My long standing weigh sling has gone. The type that you simply used to weigh the fish & not the unnecessarily complicated (with fold down plastic tubing 🙄) and 'heavy' types you find in todays tackle shop. In anyone has an unwanted/spare crescent shaped sling (or similar) that they want to...
I've always been intrigued by this. There are certainly numerous sightings by genuine witnesses. I think they're out there. There is film footage of a black big cat (possibly a leopard) at Kinver in the west midlands. I think you can see it on youtube. Unfortunately photos and film footage is...
My wife's the opposite. When I was about to order a Merc C220 estate AMG some years ago (my third Merc). She questioned if it was a practical choice (being a motorway suited vehicle with rear wheel drive). She was correct. I've had two Dacia Dusters since. I can't really fault them.
Sanctimonious and naive. I don't know where to start with breaking the law. The political class seem to have their collective noses in the trough. Corruption abounds in the country. I don't have a problem with not paying the rod and line licence tax. In the scheme of things. It's nothing. It...
If you think that the courts would fine EA licence tax transgressions £2500. I think you're a tad naeve 🙂. The EA mobilising 'resources' to catch EA licence tax transgressors will surely demonstrate their non -environmental priorities.
As has been suggested. You don't have to fish. If you...
You don't have to fish and risk a fine. There was a fishing strike in Ireland in the 80's. That sent a message. If anyone's underwhelmed with the performance of the EA it doesn't take much balls to boycott their rod and line licence tax.
Don't laugh. But may I suggest the Dacia Duster. I'm on my second model. I've owned the Audi's and Mercs in the past. But the Duster is by far the most practical. I own the front wheel drive model. Its great off road and I kept it uncovered in the Austrian Alps for the whole of the winter 22/23...
Regardless of cost a licence boycott is sending a message.
I think that voting makes absolutely no difference with the current choice of main stream political incompetents. For this reason, a low voting turnout sends another message.
Introducing a PR system could shakes things up and...
As a teenager. I used to fish the Brandsburton gravel pits in East Yorkshire for the carp. Because of the transport problems at that age (bicycle rides). This mainly involved an overnight session.
The area back then was a lot more rural, and light pollution was minimal. Anyway, one night I...
Agreed there. Dave apart from his Predator range also supplies the Chimera 3's and Torrixes. The Chimera 3's (2.25 lb TC - barbel rods) will handle most carp and pike that swim in British waters.
Purchased from new. Used 9 times last spring for tench on my Chimera 1's (1.75 lb TC). Genuine reason for sale. I don't like them😄. Good condition boxed. About £200 new. Will accept £130 posted.
That looks neat. I had my 410's along with sports kit stolen in a car fire in the early 90's (these things happened then). It was out of necessity that I converted to bait runners. I couldn't go back now. I tried though some years back with Mitchell 306's on a pair of Terry Eustace big pikes...
