A net also gives a real clue to the size of the fish ,none of that naughty holding the fish forward making it look bigger ,in reality if its for fish welfare do you HAVE to have the text book trophy shot of you holding it or do people hang around taking shots of other peoples fish so they can say they caught it?

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

OK, if the fishery/ club wants a pink duvet and a bunk bed for the fish I suggest they ought to provide em otherwise we will be transferring tons of foreign mussels about the place. Would a separate caravan for the fish to recover in be a possible compromise?

 

I haven't seen a suitable sized cradle for my whip fishing. I am hoping that this will be a pocket sized one.

 

How long a snooze do the fish need before I put em back in the pond? Am I allowed to just tip em all in (whoosh) or is there an agreed procedure to release them (twice tickled under the chin and a friendly chat before submerging them in a camou bag and opening the vents )?
