20 m floating pole

[tophattommy]

Hi has anyone got or had a floating

Pole and are they going to ban them

On all waters or just on match waters

[rob.i]

dont need to use one at slattocks it would be too big

[kleinboet]

Can't see it being much good in a flowing river!

[Peter Waller]

Why should anyone want to use such a thing? Please convince me !

Us Yorkshire folk have had t 100lb plus nile perch ont 40m floating pole ont river nile when it were int flood.!

And that was after we had gone 6 nights with no sleep or food or Tetleys...and im not talking baht tea nivver.

But to be honest it was nice to get back home and catch a few gudgeon from t local cut and have a couple of pints and fish and chips for us supper.

Ower lass had a right lip on though cos i told her i were just nipping aht to shop.

And t'whippit has got severe piles from sitting on a damp bank for those six nights!! .

they can only be banned in matches if they are in that way inclined to do so, they cant ban you from using it pleasure fishing, but any fishery that wants to ban their use can do so

[Peter Waller]

How quickly could one of these things be unshipped? I only wonder as a large boat approaches!! And will the Ramblers Association welcome them across the local tow path?

[Jem]

fairly quickly i would imagine as its floating so you dont have to hold it up to unship, it s just a case of slide it backwards and unship

It worra close thing pete cos we were gonna bbq t whippit cos we were all starving, then our kid had that big perch so it it was fish all round and the whippit is asleep by me feet under puter desk as we speak.

Good job an all cos it aint got much meat on it.
