Head knock brick wall mate 🙈🙈🙈

Nice picture though 👍

Wind up merchant !

So i can only discuss on here what you agree with ???

Really !! Oh ffs 🙈🙈🙈

Depends what you want from a forum , one that debates sometimes agressivley, serious issues that could affect barbel / barbel habitat , or one that gives out the feel good factor and chats about landing net handles ? Some of us on here are passionate about certain issues and will debate them...

So met office are issuing a red warning with temps poss getting to 40 c , river wye are shutting up shop , club lakes up and down the country doing the same high night time temps, angling trust advising to not fish atm , dissolved oxygen levels on some rivers very low and still you think its ok...

Just find it a bit sad that some @#@&# are so desperate to go fishing they find every reason to justify why they think its ok to go in these extreme conditions i stead of erring on the side of caution for a short while , cant educate pork as the saying goes

When its snowing !

Dont feel embaeassed for me Terry, i'll argue it all day long , not asking to stop fishing this year ffs , just until it cools a bit , you'd think i was asking for their pin numbers !!

I feel justified in "whinging " , go boil yer head clive , if i prick the concience of one angler who decides not to go out and it saves the life of one barbel then thats job done for me , you carry on

It wouldnt hurt a few well known anglers on social media to come out and say about the dangers of fishing in very high temps , some of the muppets who insist on fishing for barbel regardless might ,and its a big might , just hold fire until cooler conditions arrive ,

Nice to see , should be every club atm !

Is it ? 🤔

Am i the only one on here advocating not fishing wholst these extremr conditions exist ??????

Nicely sweved

So whats your criteria Clive that decides wether you go fishing in these conditions ?

Right ok im not going to get bogged down in an argument/debate on what constitutes a big fish etc , we've all got differing values on what counts as big depending on river , pb etc , what im prob clumsily trying to say is that im seeing on social media lots of photos of small to average size...

How about then we stop getting pedantic over what counts as an exceptional fish etc and concentrate on fish welfare in low water high temp low oxygen conditions and wether we should be actually chasing them ????? Just a thought

Is that a dig ?
