Attenborough Zander?

...nature will allways find a balance sooner or later.

The problem is that we humans are never content with 'natures balance'. 'Natures balance' is why we have so many cormorants inshore these days. There is little left in the sea for them to eat, but we have created a lot of nicely stocked coarse fisheries. I also see this argument being used by many to justify introducing any old alien species. If I had my way I would ban 'catch and release' for non native species, and before anyone asks, yes that does include wels, carp and zander.

My point is that I don't want to be an "ultimate loser". I want to be the top predator over nice friendly little fishies. You strong brave macho types ,"guys" should stop trying to dominate fishing and give the more sensitive sensible angler a chance. Anyway, I don't think you've ever seen a fishy in real life or you'd be up there trying to catch a bit of "Ruffe" or "b ass".

Have to agree with chavender here, last time i herad there were 140+ pairs of black ducks roosting on the pits

That is good old nature, trying to find a balance.

I can seewhat you mean cory, but you would have to include Rainbow Trout and all Barbel in rivers not draining into the North Sea.

I don't like Rainbow Trout any more than any other feral species. I didn't know about barbel only being an east coast species at one time.

i'd thought all those resident black sea vultures (cormorants!)...

I rest my case, 'natures balance' gets the thumbs up only when the balance tips in our direction Let it tip the wrong way and we are all out trying to correct it once more.
