Ah predictive text and fat thumbs😄

On the close season. The EA have totally copt out on it. It should have carried on through the basis it had to be changed in some way whether scrapping or altering. It should have looked at other European countries and looked at what was happening there to find what the right way to donut is...

Explain Neil.... I didn't think you were a big fish chaser? Edit.Just read your post about what's been happening, not good hope things get better

My guess is 3-5lb

fully understand your point of view but we will have to disagree on the use of keepnets

A couple of years ago I would have loved to met him but now have to listening to him I don't no whether I would feel safe if I dared to disagree with a word he said.

In all honesty it don't bother me, would of been nice to fish till the end of March though ....I bet you would have liked that as well?

Ignore that last post I did something with a grid when I pressed the wrong button and couldn't get rid😀 I thought retain was the minority? Or did I remember wrong?

I wanted it removed or at least changing....good to see democracy at work again, total waste of time and money by the EA seeing as they had no intention of changing it.

Terry regarding the seeing into the future you can, not being funny but you guys out on the Severn around Worcester are over 10 years behind what happened with otters in Oxfordshire and the Armageddon that you Loz and Des predict does not happen. As we know the small rivers get hit hard but they...

And I think the point about stocking is valid, I live in Oxford where the otters hit first when they returned. lots of stocking of barbel happened and to be honest its been a success, we now have barbel anglers back on the Thames through Oxford, which is a real shame for me as I now cant get on...

I have to say Graham that's the most sensible thing I've ever heard about otters when it comes to angling, surely the likes of Terry and Lawrence cannot dismiss the reality of it and carry on themselves in the same way?

out of interest what was the governments response to the document?

It would be interesting to see the water tested so to speak with a small local campaign...say in Worcester with local anglers, clubs, tackle shops and guest house owners all stating the case of the damage otters do to the local fish stocks. just to see if you could get any momentum going and get...

I think you need someone with a lot of money to back you guys. to challenge the protection that otters have and ultimately cull them is a mammoth task beyond anything you think it is. You would be taking on people and organisations that have everything on there side, they would have...

Neil, I've been through this before with you... a keepnet used correctly causes no harm to a barbel what so ever, a specimen anglers man handling, taking multi photo's and weighing of fish in the blazing sun are more likely to do damage to fish. its down to the anglers common sense but a lot...

I want my mix to be... 30% me 30% sensas river 30% sensas gros gardons then laced with casters and chopped worms and balled in off Donnington bridge in to the Thames...roach and bream can have one last feast from me. I thought some of you older guys could be made into boilies, probably turn...

So where you going in the after life then?😀

Loz, I totally understand where you coming from, but is there enough anglers out there thinking the same and see things how you do. Ultimately I cannot see how it would ever work and who would pay for it and how do you measure its success? It's too late, angling is a dieing pastime...how long do...
