Hi Newt.30th anniv trip mate.Have tele rod/s . If i dared to take them,think i may end up minus some of my own tackle cheers chris

Thanks for your help last night Newt(Re AOL). Contacted them, all of us have had to change our screen names,hopefully thats it. Cheers chris. Were off now to tunisia for the week No rods allowed though :mad:

Myriofilum(think spelling is correct)water milfoil is good.Canadian pond weed,good for helping to keep water clear,but needs to be kept in check. chris

Hi Bradford Angler.I also think you are doing ok.Different varieties will vary in growth and flower production.If you want to propogate them ,lift them and divide them up.This should be done every 3/4 years anyway.By doing it you can retain the nice new rootstock and discard the older stuff. chris

Take the b****y lot out mate,or you'll regret it later. chris.

A TWELVE BORE . Dont go along with the decoys.Having lost fish out of two ponds over the last 3 winters,have now netted them until plants reappear. Both ponds are pretty close to the house and it does not deter the s**s at all.At least 4 other ponds(neighbours) in close proximity to me have also been wiped out on more than one occasion. Since netting them I have not seen a heron in the garde mind you there aint much left for them!! :mad: . chris

Think I would be inclined to leave em where they are. Why not start up an aquarium from scratch!!. chris

I dont feed mine in the winter full stop and rarely in the summer either,except perhaps a few pellets,maggot etc. chris

Seems a lot of us are visited by the herons.I seem to get troubled during the winter months only,is that the case with you guys?? chris

I have two small ponds,6x4s andtwo tropical tanks. Dont quite know what the heons have left me with though :mad: ,think i still hav a golden tench and some goldfish,pretty sure the ghosties have gone and the rudd :mad: Have now netted them after r stocking three times in as many years. Keep a selection of barbs,angel fish and tetras in the tanks. chris

Nice one Elton chris

Another saddo here, two ponds ,two aquariums,I would certainly make use of a forum if there were one. chris

Happy New Year Peter and everyone on A/N. chris

I used to take th Angling Times every single week,now perhaps twice per month if that.What was a good read has now become very bland.Take the area reports.In my area(surrey),they use to report on the stillwaters and the Thames and rivers Mole and Wey,now the three latter never get a mention :mad: .Dont think the Norfolk Broads exist any longer,at least not to A/Times. :eek:I notice the sea section is as bad. I would like the basic format to return to something like its former self.I for one would prefer more articles from a broader range of top names. chris

Hi Dunk,dont take it as gospel but pretty sure that u can still get day ticket,will try to find out for u as my mate lives in e grinstead,but that wont be until after xmas. chris.

Craig.The harbour(if u can call it that) can be popular.A better bet is to go to the main beach(las chucharas),dont know if thats correct spelling!!!!,that is to the left of the harbour as u face it,walk along the beach path towards a promintory,you will be able to see shops,bars etc,cut through the centre of the shops and re join the beach(leaving mum and dad in the shops .A little further on is a man made breakwater.It is a bit uncomfortable(all big rocks),worth the walk as it is much quieter there,and also the beach is nice that end as well.Enjoy :cool: chris

Arghhhhhhhhhhh,blast. :mad: good un chris

Bluey.No idea about who to contact!!!!!!!,sorry. Remember the first shot(plough horses),think that was when the opening music was the Spanish!!!!guitar music,rather than the out of town one. chris

Hi Bluey.I may be wrong,but i think o/o/town was on commercial tv,ie southern!!!think i can recall the commercial breaks. chris

Hi Craig.Where u going to on Lanzarote? Have fished at Costa Teguise a few times.You can fish from the man made rock breakwaters,or the harbour.As a coarse angler,i took tele rod chubber type floats,6lb b/s line and a mix of leads for ledgering.Float produced a mix of small fish, including Wrasse i think;only small but they did go a bit.Think some of the better fish are to be caught on the bottom,as managed to pull out of some better fish whilst ledgering.There are mullet to be caught as well.Have also seen some kind of ray close to the breakwaters.As for bait,Bread paste,small strips of squid and prawns all worked,probably bread the better bait.Hope this helps regards chris.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, stirred a bit of a hornets nest up on the sea angling section then u know the jack hargreaves thread u are lucky, wish my xmas break started already. Seasons greetings. chris

Saw the post about Jack Hargreaves.As a coarse angler dont often visit the sea section,but agree with all that has been said.Always a must see programe for me.No difference if he was sea, coarse or game fishing,or indeed not fishing at all,he was always interesting .Wish they would repeat some of those programes(better viewing than all these celebrity and aspiring pop artist programes that they keep churning out :mad: chris

I agree chris

Hi beds,best forget the commercial at rooskey,only knew it was there from info whilst in cavan,and the piker has had first hand knowledge.Mind u cant really understand why there should be a need for one in the first place,progress i suppose!!! chris

Hi.There is a commercial type fishery at roosky i belive,if that grabs you.Think there are around 40 loughs/lakes in the area. You can contact paul harris(irish angling advisor) on 01788 833203 who can supply info and maps. regards chris
