    Halibut pellets

    You obviously don 't have a mouse/rat problem then Tony. I now have to keep all my bait (apart from tins) in robust plastic storage boxes with lids while I endeavour to get rid of the mice that have found hemp, pellets, boilies etc to their liking. They are also very good at trashing tackle...

    Catch Cult 12

    Martin, I accept that you have never made any promises but on 23 December you said that CC11 was going to the printers in early January and it wan't in subscribers' hands until the latter part of February. And your own Catch Cult website clearly states CC11 - January 2019 & CC12 - March 2019...

    Freshwater shrimps with cocaine....

    Paul, I believe that there was a study on the River Don in Sheffield, which pointed to male roach turning into females, which obviously is a major issue for recruitment. The estrogen in the contraceptive pill is the main factor. Don't know what has happened since then but I'm fairly sure...

    Freshwater shrimps with cocaine....

    Apparently the eels in the Thames in London are also coke heads because of the widespread recreational use of cocaine by Londoners. Does that mean they wriggle even more than usual....?!?! It does make you wonder how far from London you'd have to travel to find pure, uncontaminated water? Dave

    Catch Cult 12

    Martin, While I am sympathetic to the problems that you are encountering in producing Catch Cult, it would be appreciated if we could be kept informed of progress (or the lack of it). Just as it is rude to be late for an appointment, it is also very bad form to make promises that you can't...

    Spam watch

    Don't forget the lard! (This thread is definitely getting more and more like the Python 'Four Yorkshiremen' sketch....) Dave

    Spawning

    I doubt they're spawning any more and won't be until we have another lengthy hot spell of weather...... Dave

    Seems like I've read that before somewhere!?!? Dave

    Catch Cult 12

    Don't suppose there's any chance of it appearing before the May Day holiday? Dave

    RODS & REELS

    Interested in one of the reels. Can you just confirm that it is rear drag before I make you an offer? Dave

    renewrodlicenceonline

    Thanks for clarifying that Mike. I see that in the top right hand corner of the ad, there is a (very) small blue right arrow with an even smaller letter i inside it and if you click on that, it provides information on the Google ads and also provides the facility to either block specific ads or...

    renewrodlicenceonline

    I suspect the ads are nothing to do with BFW but are, effectively, the way that the site is funded. They will be driven by a system that identifies the themes on the site and hence generates fishing treated banner ads. Not a lot that they can do about it really but it is appalling that such...

    Catch Cult 12

    Any news on CC12? Would be good if it was available before Easter. Dave

    EA Close Season Consultation

    Totally agree, Graham. Also, given that the consultation has been closed for almost a month now, the continuation of this debate is definitely futile until we know the outcome! Dave

    EA Close Season Consultation

    Slight change of tack here but my local river, the Hants Avon is currently running at a temperature of over 9c, having been as low as 3c at the beginning of the month. The temperature has risen steadily through the month and with more unseasonably warm weather still to come, is likely to stay...

    Drennan SS landing net pole/Drennan & Greys Bait Boxes

    I'll have the Drennan hooks and the bank sticks if they're still available. If you can confirm postage cost, I'll arrange a PayPal payment. Thanks, Dave

    EA Close Season Consultation

    Declining trade may be part of the reason for the closure of local tackle shoos but ever increasing rents and soaring business rates are a significant factor as well. Most tackle shops never made a fortune, not helped by the seasonal nature of the trade, but managed to get by. However, that is...

    CATCH CULT 11 Update

    Safely received this morning, Martin, and another cracking read by the looks of it! Any idea of a timetable for CC12 yet? Dave
