I've just tried eating a spam sandwich and then a Squid and Octopus Boilie sandwich. In comparison, the Spam sandwich was the better of the two!

Mr Wilton, Sir. Hell the hell are you? Rather expected to see you on Facebook along with Rob Monday, but it seems you don't go on there!

Whatever happened to Oggy's 'Bedchair Study Group'. That's what I want to know?

I've been lucky in as much as over the years I managed to meet all my childhood angling heroes such as Fred J Taylor and Peter Stone. Dick Walker left the planet before our paths could cross. I'm not sure that I have a single question I would have liked to ask him. I'd certainly like to thank...

I've also got into soft lure fishing for perch. really loving it in fact. Anyone followed this on Facebook? Marvellous stuff! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dan-Sales-Fishing-Nutter/268856179852507

And wasps make jam.

The big problem here isn't so much about angling as it is about fish having no place in the general public's affection. Even most ardent conservationists have no understanding of fish. Fish live out of sight under the water and therefore there is no public awareness of them. Can I add carp to...

Always nice to have your pennies worth Dick (LOL). So seeing as your always so keen to stick your oar in, tell me who you think it was?

Many years ago while visiting my Brother who lives near Munich, he took me out for a days carping at his favorite carp fishing spot. We got to the lake at midday and I was at bit disheartened to find the place crowded out by sunbathers. It's better down the end of the arm he assured me and he...

No, not him. This one was is a Norfolk inbred on a bike! lol

The friendliest reply I ever got from asking an angler how it was going was "I don't like people!"

If you can't get a shag, have a cormorant. ;)

Cheers, Dave.

They are called rays not spines. Personally I think that predators are the cause of a fair bit of damage to tails and also dorsal fins. I once watched a 15lb plus barbel being chased underwater by a cormorant which was snapping at its tail, so I don't put it all down to otters.

I remember when I was a kid growing up not far away from Horley, the Mole was terribly polluted by the airport and stank of aviation fuel. The river at Horley looked nice but there were no fish in it. Upstream of the airport the Mole and it tribs held loads of fish, including roach, perch, brown...

Paul, there's some nice ooks in the Gamakatsu range that are very sharp, fine in the wire but very strong. They seem to be aimed at the Matchfishing fraternity but I have been very impressed with them. Worth a look I'd say. What Simon says about Sedges is also true. They are a great hook for roach.

A mate of my Brother who is a surgeon once hooked a corpse while fly fishing. Seeing as the corpse wasn't going anywhere, he carried on fishing then phoned the Police when he went home latter that day. I only mention he is a surgeon because he wanted to be a gynecologist, but his fingers were...

Cockles, eh? Must see if I can find some.

I was actually joking, mate. Sorry I missed your calls yesterday.

Paul, do you need someone to help you?
