Hello mate.

 

Went out to the other side of the Longsand Head last fortnight and had a couple of pack tope along with a few hounds n skate. Got a trip out on Saturday too, even though I wont be able to go on it myself (car crash on Monday), but my mate and son will be going so hopefully, they'll have a good day.

A superb tope for the youngster, thanks for sharing it with us. Welcome Andy

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

Sorry to hear about that. I used to try with guys but the excuse was cuts to the toe nails, wife won't let me etc so i don't bother as much now, so i go on me own or with one or two. Where abouts do you go. what do you fish for. Mind you i've had to cancell three trips this month, first time ever due to an op, so i'm allowed. Some times we are on the road at 3.30 am tight lines.

Sorry about the delays in getting these messages posted Barry. I don't know how many more I'll have to do before the moderators deem me fit for the tender little eyes around here, lol.

 

Anyway, I used to go out of Folkestone a lot with several "friends". One by one, they let me down and things just got way too expensive. Also, the fact I had to travel from Harwich to the place made it a bit of a killer when we had 4a.m. starts etc!

As it is, I now use Walton on the Naze. Its Better than my own town for getting out to sea and having a marina there (Titchmarsh), it means we don't have to leave at silly o'clock anymore. I am hoping that this weekend will give my boy a chance to beat his 23 1/2lb record as last week, the skipper had about 10 tope between 10lb and 15lb, half a dozen skate and two good tope of 32lb and 42lb respectively.

 

As for the winter, I tend not to fish too much as I have to pay too heavier a price thru my back injury. Basically, it doesn't like the cold weather and being tossed about on a boat all day.

Yes, sorry about the delays Barry, but I reckon 3 minutes between Tatts64 posting this message and me noticing that there was a message that needed approval is pretty good going! Very near my record of one (1) minute in fact....

 

Tatts - the reason why we put newcomers on mod-approval is because some posters in the past have decided to post under new names and cause havoc on these forums. Prior to that, people could register on here and then post without needing moderator approval. It is only for a total of 15 posts, live with it.

Hi John.

 

Yes, I read why there needs to be a certain amount of posts to go by before a new member is deemed to be genuine (for want of better words), John.

 

My words in the previous post to Barry were not meant to cause offence, but if they have, then I am willing to apologise. Although if you read it the way it was meant, you will see it was meant in jest. The kind of light hearted banter that might fly about among fellow anglers, nothing more.

 

I have also read in previous posts (going back some time here) where some of the more well established members of this forum have "stuck one into" a kid of 14 that didn't exactly use the queens english in the way that he wrote and even though he was genuinely asking for advice and help from his peers and seniors in this pass time / hobby / sport, the next few posts that I read proceeded to rip into him with regards to his lack of grammar etc. These were followed by others basically fighting back by the "Mr average" sort of people that hadn't eaten a page from the Oxford English Dictionary for breakfast each morning for most of their lives. what really got to me, was the strength of this lad by coming back on here and actually apologizing for causing an argument. The fact that instead of just thinking this place was contaminated with people more worried about the correct spelling of a given word rather than the essentials of such a site - to promote the safe enjoyment of fishing and co-operation amongst fellow anglers is what impressed me enough to want to become a member of it. Although I would like to add that the moderators should have stepped in well before hand and either deleted the posts in question or at least encouraged the writers of them to go back and edit them themselves.

 

So, I would like to point out that I do take the mick out of people, purely in jest and where I feel they are man or woman enough to enjoy the funny side of life and, indeed, I am the first to do the same of myself. but if this cannot and will not be tolerated, then tell me now and I will delete my profile and trouble you and yours no more.

 

Cheers, Andy :-)

tatts64 - if you dislike the forum rules and quality of moderation you find here, feel perfectly free to go elsewhere.

That is only possible on forums if you do post jests rather than sarcastic remarks with a smiley and is much easier after you have gotten to know the other members and they you.

 

Stay and participate if you wish but I suggest you lighten up a little.
