Yup, it say's I make my own mind up, rather than allow others to make it up for me.

Simon, Keep posting here, the moderators will only end up moving it to the conservation forum at some point, as it's a policy they have adopted. Regardless of how big you believe Kayak fishing to be, you are still a minority amongst anglers, just as I am with my SWFFing. The difference is that I appear to be interested in what other anglers are saying/thinking. Why weren't you spreading the 'gospel' to all anglers if you feel the issue is so important? I didn't see you posting the same information on the Sea Angling section.

Climb out of your little box and read the various viewpoints yourself. http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/forums/index.php?showforum=37

If you take the time to look at the other sections on anglersnet you will see a "Conservation & Politics" section where this has been discussed, disected, analyzed and argued about at length already.

Don't tell anyone about it, not even your mates down the pub. If you do the details are public and you will be stuffed for patenting it. I think Dr. Emmett Brown had already invented the Flux Capacitor though?

I'll wish myself a happy birthday then. Dunno what I've done to upset Elton that he'd ban my birthday from the forum?

I'm just glad that you'll never find un-informed opinion here, on AnglersNet.

I know that some of the guys who fly-fish for Pike in the Baltic use heavy mono in place of wire. Another alternative is Titanium tipped furled leaders..

Go to Keyword: Sounds and click on environment. Barry White tells me I have e-mail.

Good to see the Shepherd doing his daily rounds checking his stock and the fences.

As Snatcher would say - It's nice to be nice. There are definatly some ungrateful sods out there.

Not my opinion, but that of my children aged 11-17. I can't repeat what a teacher friend of mine thinks of the HP books.

Is the next book going to be called "Harry Potter and the Poorly Written Tedious Pile of Tosh-part VII".

If you ventured outside of the yak board you would know that the petition has been on AnglersNet for a while. Look in the 'Conservation and Politics' section. That's where your post on the 'Sea Fishing' section will end up anyway.

They still talk nonsense at 17, just it's not cute anymore.

Have you ever heard a windmill in action? Judging by your comment the answer is no. Aside from the sound that the human ear can detect there is plenty of noise that is outside our hearing range. May I suggest gripe water for your little problem.

Hate to pee on your parade, but it's unlikely you'll be allowed anywhere near them on your planks. There's plenty of evidence around that suggests the electricity, vibrations and noise are detrimental to marine life too.

Just be grateful. I have just discovered my ISP will allow me to select my default personality.

Mud - Lonely This Christmas. Greg Lake - They Said There'd Be Snow At Christmas.

Hell hath no fury like a yakker scorned. Hate to think what you'd be like if he insulted your mother. Seriously though chaps, be careful what you wish for. I'm one of those salty fluff-flinging nutters and for ages we all wished the angling press would take us seriously. The FF mags ran a series of articles this year. No coincidence we got crowded off marks we used to rarely see another soul at, by total numpties with a flyrod (Not you Starvin! ). The sea is a big place, but we all know how localised the good fishing can be. Get your sport popularised in the glossies and before you know it someone will be hogging your favouite spots. They wont have used any skill or put any legwork in to find these spots. It will be because they saw you fishing there.

I was just about to suggest that you unplug the skybox for 12 seconds then plug it back in.

Don't go to Canada, it's full of Saffas who left a trail of devastation behind them in the UK. Hi Mike!

All cars are equipped with a device that can regulate the speed of the vehicle. It's called the driver. If you don't want a speeding ticket then don't exceed the speedlimit.

Sounds hilarious

Erm.......Where have I tried to justify what happened? You seem to be implying that I think they deserved to be murdered. The point I was making is exactly the one Elton has just made. Despite the fact that there had already been two murders, these girls still chose to go out on the street in that area and get into cars with complete strangers. It's sad that they are in such a desperate position that they felt the necessity to take such a risk.
