If there was one Angling related thing you could have for Christmas, regardless of cost or availability, what would it be. Mine would be a week (or more) at Redmire Pool, just to soak up the atmosphere where such greats as Richard Walker and Chris Yates both fished and wrote about. Especially if I could use an old split cane rod and catch something.

what about Geoff Duke, World champion on 2 and 4 wheels. Who could do that nowadays

What's the best reason (excuse) to get to the bankside during the festive period. Wife & 3 kids to convince

Why don't we all vote for Alan Scotthorne, our gold medal winner and try to get an angler on the rostrum, instead of someone from a minority sport (rugby, athletics, tennis etc). I have voted, sent my email from the BBC sport web page. Come on lads, get voting and do something positive for our great sport

Has any one used these for Landing nets or rod rests. They seem to be a good idea, but 9.99 for three seems a bit steep

IT'S BEHIND YOU !!
Oh! no it isn't
Oh! yes it is

If you are tucked up in the bivvy at night, how are the fish going to see you anyway. When stalking, stealth and a pair of good polarised specs will help more than the colour of your underpants. But if it's a confidence thing, then get the asylum to let you out more.

I bought a packet of Hemp seed from a local pet food shop. I soaked it overnight, then boiled it. Only about 5-10 percent sprouted, although all the seeds turned black. I only boiled about a pound in a large saucepan, with plenty of water. Any thoughts, but not buying ready cooked please.

The maxim of a tax (and the rod licence is a form of tax) is that not only should it be cheap to collect, but easy to police. Remember the old dog licence, it was about 7s 6d in real money, but no-one bothered to buy one. The police couldn't be bothered to ask dog owners for one, so it was abolished, as it cost more to sell than the return in revenue. If the EA licence went the same way, then the EA would need another source of funding. On the other hand, they would not need to spend time and effort chasing non-payers, and there would not be threads like this on various forums. Would it mean that we would spend more time and effort discussing fishing, and less taking the moral high ground pointing the finger at non-payers. I now go back below the skyline and await the flak.

Some simple precautions
1. Don't wear colours around the yellow spectrum
2. Don't splash on aftershave or any sort of body perfume.
3. Don't wear flowery clothing (hippies beware)
4. Use a repellent, such as jungle formula, and take some with you as it is not effective all day.
5. Sit the other half nearby using 1,2,3 and no 4

I saw these sunglasses advertised on a shopping channel. Has any member bought them and can offer advice on their suitability for fishing

It might sound obvious, but why not ask the other carp anglers on the lake !! :confused: :confused:
-
To get Hemp (or any other bait that is not purely for fishing, such as dog/cat bikies, wheat etc) go to a pet shop, or large wholesalers. it's cheep cheep !!

Don't know about the tackle, but their web site is not the best I have seen. The competition is more than a year out of date.

I still use my 300s's, as I have a pair with 3 extra spools. 2 shallow spools and 3 deep spools in total. I have had them since the mid 1980's, with no problems. Can't think of a reason to change them, but maybe I won't change wat ain't broke. Still I like real ale and malt whiskey, and still measure things in feet and inches. I don't catch muh big stuff as I can't afford the price of the day ticket, but Carp to 15lbs are handled easily with them, matched to my handmade NW Blanks fibre glass rod
