Happy New Year.

Hi Guys...Don't know if many of you will remember me, BUT, I've just popped in for a wee visit after years of inactivity on the site... :)

 

I sold my wee boat "Alien One" a few years ago, which originally belonged to the late great Alan Taylor and Nickinthenorth...all my gear apart from one rod went the same road, all the books went too..but after a cracking trip to Loch Sunart last Nov , is now looking to return to the sea.... :)

 

Hopefully another boat will be sailing my way in the spring... :)

 

I decided to get my FAC, and now am the very proud owner of a few rifles,shotguns and airguns...with permission to shoot on approx 70,000 acres of land, with at least 10 miles of coastline near Cambeltown to fish too....

 

Anyway, the site is looking good, and hopefully, it'll be good to be back.... :)

 

 

All the best for the New Year.

Welcome back Norrie ,its a bit quiet nowadays :-(

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

To say it's a bit quiet nowadays is an understatement :cry:

Hi Guys...Good to be back, but, I did notice a while ago, that AN was getting quieter....which is a real shame...it was def THE best angling forum on the net at one time...:(

 

Anyway, I'm here now, so, great to hear from you...:)

 

 

BTW, I'm having problems getting into the site, using what I know to be my username and password, each time I have to log in, the site makes me change my password.....any ideas!!!!

 

BTW, Chesters, I bought an Intrepid SeaStreak reel at an auction last week....gawd knows why, but once i got the green stuff off it,opened the guts and cleaned it, it works perfectly well, might couple it to a wee spinning rod for Mackeral in the summer....:)

Blast from the past, and I'm still using your shimano speedmaster reel that you flogged me a few years ago.

 

and I still haven't caught a common skate yet. :unsure:

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..

Hi Dave, yep mate, remember them well....great times, and remember the BBQ's you and Norma organised, Boar and pigeon....followed by strawberries in chocolate...we were spoilt...

I'm not fishing so much nowadays, but, looking at another boat this spring, if all goes well.I went and got my FAC,and SGC, so, now it's mainly shooting....making my own sausages and burgers with the deer, pigeon and rabbits that I shoot....

 

Love to Norma...:)
