    Big Cat sightings

    I didn't want to make it obvious 😁.

    Big Cat sightings

    There are so many credible witness accounts of their existence all over the UK. The Chipping Norton example being conclusive if witnessed. One I read yesterday, was from an ex Grampian force police officer. In the 80's he was observing a big black leopard in his locality, through a telescopic...

    Big Cat sightings

    I read one of the Corbett books many years ago. A very interesting read. That's what came to mind, an aged animal, unable to catch the abundant prey that abound in rural England, suddenly becoming a danger. On a different subject...the identification of these cats that leave tracks. Samples can...

    Big Cat sightings

    At least he gave an honest answer. Although a highly irresponsible action in many respects. Certainly explains why there were so many sightings at about that time. I'm just surprised, that there hasn't been a reported negative interaction with a human being.

    Recommendations for dead bait rods

    If you're using on the big waters Bait Blaster 1's (Dave Lumb again) are worth considering . They're 12 foot 3.5 lb tc Harrison banks. They're proven hook setters and fish players at extreme range using big baits. They're the rods that I own that I wouldn't sell.

    Big Cat sightings

    There were lots of sightings of black felines, all over England, around about that time. There even sightings near where I live.

    Wanted - Large pike size weigh sling

    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...

    Big Cat sightings

    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...

    Vehicle of choice

    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.

    The Water Pollution Cover-Up

    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...

    The Water Pollution Cover-Up

    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...

    The Water Pollution Cover-Up

    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.

    Vehicle of choice

    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...

    The Water Pollution Cover-Up

    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...

    The Water Pollution Cover-Up

    And replace them with whom? Another set of incompetents? That's why I haven't voted in a general election since 1979.
