I'm still working 12 hour shifts,therefore I'm still going fishing.

If you've got a compromised immune system,then yes of course you should take the necessary precautions. Everybody else please just go about your business. Stop being brainwashed by the F@*#kin media.

Well done Jim. Amazing fish that.

Yet another big beautiful pike to the maestro 😉 Well done again mate.

Simply the best angling writer of them all. Read all his books several times,they never get tiresome. The next best thing to actually going fishing,along with just playing with your tackle in the garden :p

Hi Graham The likely hood of a non club controlled stretch or otherwise being bailiffed....well you've got more chance of us leaving the European Union.

They sure do Matthew. I've watched it happen on more than one occasion.

Good to see all those pellets and boilies not going to waste. With that stretch being intensely fished the roach are obviously making hay. Early season was always good for roach,tench and carp too. What's the numbers of big barbel now looking like on that stretch Dave?

No such thing in fishing as 'cheating' because guess what, it's not a competition! Now obviously in a match fishing scenario there needs to be a level playing field but in the specimen or pleasure fishing world who cares. The deeper is not my thing but if you want to use one fine. It's only a...

Just takes longer on bigger rivers....the annihilation that is.

If you buy one of those,I'm coming round your house with my helmet:p

Hi Julian I think the reason you haven't seen one (otter) is because it's already too late. When the easy pickings have dwindled they move on.

Exactly Jason. Just a few anglers could quickly empty a section of river or canal totally legally according to that outdated law.

What was the outcome for said individual?

Which river was this Graham?

The only item I truly cherish has no monetary value whatsoever. A JW Avon/ feeder my dad won from angling times about 15yrs ago for catching a treble of nice perch. The old man no longer accompanies me on trips anymore due to failing health. I'd give up all the big fish I've ever caught for just...

I've always wanted to scrap it,but after last summer's shameful acts by selfish barbel w*****s, I change my mind. Keep it but move the dates.
