Anglers Net Members Club/fish ins and teach ins

Budgie :confused: :confused: can't see what you are driving at.

 

If the sea anglers do it on the sea forum, whats to stop coarse anglers doing likewise on the coarse forum, and game anglers on the game forum?

 

I was just pointing out an example of the benefits of AN members getting together in a fishing context.

 

If some anglers are only interested in one style of fishing, that's their choice, but fish-ins might be a good way of encouraging someone to try another style. I enjoy many types of fishing - any fish, anywhere.

and most of us do have a trawl through other forums from time to time.

BUDGIE:

 

Any way when you going to organise a river/barbell fish in at Harvington for us all? October would be a great month for it.

What the point of doing that Budgie? If I remember right, I suggest to you fish well below the wier and you will catch Barbel there but what did you do you went to fish in the so called "hot peg 23". And what did you end up with? Let me see 4 little roach, 1perch and 2 eels. You should have listen to your younger brother fatso

 

Anyway I am not keen on the river as I was in my younger days. I am in contact with my private water (lake/pool) just waiting for a reply from the committee members Will let you know soon about the details.

Nice one bruv,Vag just liked the idea of anglers trying out different things.The enthusiasm generated on a thread about lets say a Bass fish in might tempt a carp angler out of his bivvy for the night to have a go.If it was posted on the sea forum then the guy might never read it.

.The enthusiasm generated on a thread about lets say a Bass fish in might tempt a carp angler out of his bivvy for the night to have a go. If it was posted on the sea forum then the guy might never read it.

The "Electric Blue" thread on the sea forum is exactly what you describe :- "enthusiasm generated.....about....a Bass fish-in"

 

Are you saying it should have been posted on the carp forum because carp anglers never look at the sea forum ?

 

Or are you are saying that any future events should go on the ANMC forum ( and thus only be accessible to ANMC members) ? I think that would be a pity, because then even more people might "never read it"

 

Surely if there is a brief mention of a trip for bass, or dace, or seatrout, on the "wrong" forum, then anyone really interested could go to the appropriate forum for more detail.

 

Just to see if it works, tell me this. Have any of our coarse fish forum members looked at the Electric Blue thread ? If so, has it raised any enthusiasm for bass fishing ?

I was hoping that eventually all AN trips regardless of their being coarse/sea/game could be posted in one section that would be open to all.Thought that was the whole idea realy.Never mind I wasnt critisising just came over a bit flippant maybe I dont know. You seem to have totally missed my point my fault no doubt for not making it clear enough.

A new forum then? Well I would go along with that, but as Phil Dean says, many trawl other forums sometimes.

 

Like you, I like the idea of encouraging anglers to try another form of fishing.......

 

......but, as for "attracting a carp angler out of his bivvy" - Nah, let him sleep, while you quietly catch a carp from the margins on biscuits, and move on. Done it many times Wake said CA up, and what happens? As soon as you dip yer biscuit, he hollers across the pond "OI !! I've got a bait in there "

Yes very funny vagabond, but gone completely away from the spirit of what this thread was all about!

Budgie - Sorry to to take so long to answer. The answer to your question is, in the main, yes.

Some of us, and sadly I am one, cannot walk far (some only 10-20 PACES) but usually fisheries are very understanding and allow you to park your car behind your peg. It is river fishing that causes the problems, most are dificult to get to. I know that a strech of the Avon not far from me has been set up with stagining and reserved for disabled, with the staging doubling up for mooring at night.

Thought it might lighten up a subject that has got a bit heavy - if said carper wants to come bass fishing he would be very welcome :cool:
