Apology accepted Andy, clean slate from now :)

 

As for posters having a go at anyone, no matter what their age, we do not approve of that. See the closed thread on the sea-fishing forum if you want proof of that. Basically, if someone posts a message, we will allow some light banter but once it goes too far we will do something about it. Smilies do help of course.

 

And as far as spelling or grammar is concerned, picking on someone for that is definitely out. Yes, it has happened in the past, but the perpetwaiters hav bean worned hevilly.... :thumbs:

I think that you may well have just broken your record there John!!

 

Andy ;-)

 

How long do you think it was between you posting and me approving? My computers out of sync (and date), I reckoned about 3 minutes....

Cant say for sure, John, but I had enough time to refresh the page twice and roll one of those disgusting an unhealthy cigarettes in between F5's and hey presto, there it was.

 

So if it didn't beat your record, it was damned close to it!

 

As for the smileys, I foolishly assumed that they would appear using the usual ":-)" as it does on some other forums sites I am on. I see that it doesn't so I'll apologise again for that one.

 

Yep, I just read the fishing report I believe you were referring to. I believe your parting words on the matter were "THREAD CLOSED!" Remind me to salute next time we cross paths, ok John :D;)

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

 

take the mick out of people, purely in jest

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.

I am about as light as anyone's going to get without flying or blowing away in the wind, Newt. The docs got me on morphine and it tends to inflict a person with a certain amount of "chilled -ness" to quote my son. I was merely trying to put across, in a polite manner, a point to a given person. I welcome your input though and will endeavour to use the official smileys as you suggest, ok mate.

Careful John, don't want to go getting too sharp there mate. You'll end up slicing the screen in half.

 

The good news being the fact you got yourself a new record!!! :clap2::thumbs::clap2::thumbs::clap2:

Already beat it - within mere seconds of you posting....

 

I now declare myself Grand Champion at Post Approval. If anyone objects, tough :schmoll:

 

 

 

I would like to thank all my friends and family, and of course all the other moderators and administrators, and not forgetting Elton who, many many years ago, made me a moderator. Last, but certainly not least, I want to thank all of you out there, the posters that have contributed to this forum throughout the years, without whom I would not have been able to make this landmark approval.

 

To all of you, I offer my heartfelt thanks....

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.

 

Andy :-)

 

Hi Andy, it is me who apologises for the delay as i couldn't get through all the mod posters as they were coming thick and fast, me eyes were getting dizzy trying to read em. :) We do folkestone once a month for the past don't know how long. Don't know why really and you are not missing anything of importance but it's a good crack. Now and again we might have a good bass or a rare cod. No one fishes for conger or blonde ray as there is no interest so one day someone might pull one out of note.

Good luck to your boy on his tope quest.

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..
