Yes there more important issues very kind of you to grab the moral high ground, but since we are here on a fishing website it seems rather appropriate to comment on such matters. If that's OK with you..

Oh! really? That's just fine then. Reason being it's so small a puddle.

Well I was under no illusion that views on this would be polarised. I dont need to be the guy with all the likes, I just know in my gut when something is just not right, this and all the other commercials that put profit before fish welfare can rot.

Well it does come under the guise of angling and this is an Angling forum so it is reasonable to expose these chancers for what they are, profit before anything else. They are removing other established fish such as roach perch rudd to facilitate larger carp to increase revenue, that for me is...

It's difficult not to come over as a bit elitist in my comments, and after all it's just fishing, but for all things holy where is the sport in pitching up a bivvy 3 rods filling kilos of bait in what is no more than a pond only to fix a distance stare on a captured farmed carp for the f.b few...

Well I get it if you are using match tactics I guess.

It is...what is to stop anyone stocking huge foreign carp in a similar puddle and claiming a new record? This lake is 25 years in the making, not long I agree but long enough to be established as a diverse environment, it really frustrates me and just to provide a captive lump or two at £25 a...

Surely has to be less trouble using a knife without all that faff? Plus from one block of meat I can vary sizes for 'ook,

Just read on FB there is a new lake being prepped in nearby Forest of Dean. It's an established small lake that the new owners intend to net all the silvers and carp Under 18 lb .…and fill in with 'whackers' ..already got the bivvy size dancefloor pegs and removed nuisance trees . Serious...

Of cat gut?

Whilst waiting for the warks Avon to oblige, I am having fun with the silvers and my new rod addition that was a mere £18 and was cheaper at £9 of late...the brilliant Shakespeare concept light tip at 10 foot, coupled with a baby Stradic 4lb line great fun, small bread feeder and flake ...what...

Never seen a Pine. Pine Marten but would love to cross that one off. I have looked at some YouTube clips and honestly there is nothing to convince me I am looking at a big apex cat...there was a better offering of a black feline in north Wales, on y.t but again the quality was appalling which is...

But that is my point Ady, there is no evidence that I have seen, and I think now you might be testing my innocent nature😄

My point is, not that we hunt 'them' and why would we if they don't exist...rather if they did exist we as anglers are well positioned, and armed with modern cameras to prove their existence. I may have missed something but have not seen any evidence either dead or alive of these cats on any...

Small hooks down to # 18 are brilliant for providing a good hook hold for Chub, and they always hook in the scissors. Of course the problem is smaller species, so better in the winter months I guess. Contrary to belief in low clear rivers I am finding worm to be a great Chub bait, they have...

Goes with his cut off denim blue jeans?

BS Huan..you doubled up qty's anyway, but you have at least attempted to justify I suppose our guilty little secrets.🤭

In Tewkesbury Marina at the minute.

4.25''

At the risk of repeating...I accept that there might be the odd escaped cat, but even that I am sceptical, even moreso that they are breeding in the wild in UK ...very fanciful thinking and up there with the Loch Ness myth and vapour trails. We anglers are probably the best eyes and ears, we...
