Bluemoon Angling Thread

Interesting why it's called Bow fishing, surely it's just shooting.

Carp are seen as nuisance fish in the states as they aren't indigenous. If they tried spearing big carp in UK for fun on a lake there'd be bloodshed as it would no doubt anger British carp anglers.

Explains it. Once watched some guys employed by the Spanish river authorities spearing Wels catfish in the Ebro which technically should not be returned if caught.

I know Spanish authorities don't hold catfish in high esteem as they have gotten fat on eating native species. But foreign anglers flock to the Ebro to catch catfish and this certainly helps local economy which would mostly be devoid of tourists without angling. Catch 22 for Spanish authorities really.

fishing suit,
im after a new fishing suit(jacket,bib n brace outfit) not really into branded stuff ie having names all over me,im more into the practical hardwearing non commercial look,anyone recommend a place to look,

Russian Uniform Gorka 4 looks ok to me,has anyone heard of this or used it and would review it ?

For years I've used Prologic jacket and bib and brace which can be bought for around £90. I fish all winter and I've found it to be just the job. Mine is plain olive green with a tiny logo.

ive seen bow fishing,but don't agree with it, think its our culture of catch a release,do they eat them,or just slaughter them for laughs ?

I can't speak for everyone but I'm going to say if they killed them they ate them, that tends to be the rule of thumb out here

Had a couple of hours wandering the canal with the ultralight lure gear tonight. Lovely calm dusk for it and I did well, having three nice perch, the best which went about 1lb 12oz.
