Alright Guys

1st post here so it’s pretty obvious that I am a member of the NAC :D

Most anglers will be aware that the eel is in serious decline, all the NAC

Members I know are really passionate about the future of the eel and when

The article by Dan Williams was presented to us we were just gob smacked!

The following quote by Dan Williams is what really got my back up personally

(quote > Why spend money in this day and age on something that may only help a few anglers?)

It’s not about us eel anglers but eel surviving on this planet as a species that

Concern us.

I think the original posters intention was to share this article with the anglers net forum in order to drum some support for the eels plight as we are a relatively

Small specimen group and need all passionate anglers to back us when we are

Confronted with articles such as Dan Williams which could give the anti-angling

Lobbies a field day suggesting that we do not need to do everything in our power

To help prevent an extinction of a species!

Mark7 is one of the good guys who works tirelessly for the well being of the

Eel and the NAC which may account for the lack of posts from him on this forum.

I know 1st hand that Mark7 is not just passionate about eels but other species

Like pike & barbel and I think he would be the first to assist any other specimen

Group should they encounter problems that related to their favorite species.

 

Anyway all, thanks for taking time to read my post

I will try and drop in from time to time and if there are any anglers reading this

Who would like any advice on eel fishing, handling ECT feel free to PM me and I will do my best to help or get you the required info from the NAC

 

Welcome to AN Sizzla hope you stay and contribute. I think your points are good and I'm sure your comments about Mark are correct. He just didn't do himself or the NAC any favours with the way he (twice) came on here.

 

I for one welcome input from any other eel anglers as despite not being a member of the NAC consider my self one.Also you will find that unlike a lot of other sites most AN members are interested in a wide range of angling and species. Even if not interested in a particular area them selves they will support any sensible conservation area or other anglers plight.

 

Be great to hear some current eel stuff as I'm very old fashioned and behind the times and often worry that any "advice" I give on the subject is a bit dated and so not necessarily the best.

 

Despite the fact I appear to have developed a problem with Mark please dont think I or AN is in any way anti eel,eel angler,eel conservation or anti NAC! simply not true. Ive even tried numerous times to mend the bridge but Mark appears to be very suspicious of my motives so I will just have to let it be.

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

Ian your becoming as paranoid as Elton.................he sees Rabbits everywhere as well! ;)

 

I must admit to wondering though!

 

 

 

:lol: Budgie, I may well be wrong. I can't see there being two people who are so much alike though so if it's not the same person then as I said they're clones :lol: .

I really can't believe this, why hound me?

 

Think I should stop posting, making me feel quite uneasy.

 

 

No one's hounded you....just suspicious of your identity that's all. If redfin2 isn't just another alias of a certain member then just forget it.

Some say he once fought an otter for a barbel with his bare hands, and is terrified of spinners...
