Well done Gary, hope you catch loads more now you're hooked

On numerous occasions I've found myself casting into a shoal of roach no more than 5-10 feet from my rod-tip, and returning fish (sometimes in excess of 100 in a session) has never IMO spooked them. I do have the habit of feeding a few morsels of loosefeed even if the fish are biting on every cast, so maybe that has something to do with it.... Wet landing nets

You might not have the EA there, but isn't there any organisations you can talk to about this? Unfortunately, it's something that is far too common in England too, and it seems that only education will stop it

That's not too far from me (Hull), I guess I could get there easily enough and stay the weekend. Count me in

It has had the audacity to publish a Good Fish Guide that blacklists what it considers to be 20 alleged vulnerable species that should be avoided by consumers who are concerned about the marine environment Thanks Leon for putting us on the right track (again ). Do you know where I can find a genuine list of endangered (native) species? Tight lines

Well, some of them anyway.... Full story here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid...000/1828913.stm I didn't realise monkfish was endangered, I've been buying that instead of cod thinking I was doing some good for the environment :confused:

Sounds like the hard drive has been partitioned, effectively making it into two or more drives. I've partitioned mine giving only a relatively small amount for the C drive, and I don't install anything on that other than Windows. Everything else goes onto the other drives. In My Computer, what are the sizes of the two drives? Try installing onto the other (D) drive and see if that works

Well, just to help you Sassenachs, there's a simple rule of thumb (though not always foolproof).... MacWossname is Scottish, McWossname is Irish BTW, what's a Graemlin? Gremlins, yes - I know they exist because I've seen the film and I've never liked using a microwave since Never seen a Graemlin though....
