Good point that mate. I got talking to an independent Cornish trawlerman with a small vessel 3 years ago. (no @snorky, not as small as your vessel pal; ) He told me the main problem in commercial fishing was the huge Russian trawler/factory ships that operate off Cornish shores. These factory ships do not comply with the net sizes(mesh guage) British trawlermen use and scoop up everything indiscriminately. Young fish too small to eat will be processed into animal food and these foreign vessels are doing untold damage to fish stocks in British waters.

I have footage of my phone on Belgian trawlers literally a stones throw off the beach netting anything in its way !!

It’s a total disgrace

No knocking you mate, I admire your stance. It just reminds me of when I was a youngster and was lucky enough to have access to good brown /sea trout and salmon fishing. I had my priest marked with notches for the legal size for keeping and would let anything go that was even a whisker under. The actual issue was the cunts netting the pools and estuary at night and I didn't make a dent either way.

Exactly the pleasure fisherman is not the issue , yet they slap a total and then a 1 fish limit on us and let the trawlers , foreigners , netters take what they want , and even the commercials can buy more quota when they reach limit !!

The British government need to get strict with foreign trawlers poaching our fish just like the Icelandic government did with us during the cod wars. I'm hoping we get strict in guarding our waters when we finally Brexit and fuck foreign trawlers off.

What's this got to due with the price of fish?

Exactly!!!!
 
so managed another 1.5 hours today. Took my Dad with me

i had 13 fish up to 4lb he had 4 fish to 5lb and lost a much bigger fish

Recorded my first blank of the "Winter" yesterday on the Warwickshire Avon.

After being pestered by little ones on my last visit, I fished corn hoping for something a bit bigger. As it transpired I never had a bite.

How on earth, on a river chock full of chub, roach, dace, bream and the odd barbel can you not have a bite in 6 hours ? Fishing baffles me.

As I was packing up a roving pike fisherman came up. When I confessed that I hadn't had a bite, he asked me what I was using. When I said corn, he said it never works until the middle of Winter. How bizarre is that? Anyway, roll on my next outing.

Seems strange that pal, I've always caught on corn in summer, never in winter. I don't think I've ever even tried it in winter as a bright yellow piece of corn in clear cold water is the last bait I'd think of trying. Thing is though, thinking outside the box and trying baits and methods that you think won't work sometimes works. As anglers we never stop learning watercraft and new methods.

Next international break off for my first fishing session in over 20 years always said I’d get back into it one day. Lad at work been pestering me for months so here goes. He used to own a tackle shop up in Carlisle where he’s from so replaced my old stuff with new F.O.C.

Somewhere over near Middlewhich on a day ticket
12 month license paid for so I’m gonna make the most of it

Nice one pal, seems like the angling bug has bitten once again. I used to have the urge to fish any spare hours I had. Not so much these days though. That said once I go I want to go again but it's going out doing it. I don't have the bug so much nowadays. Was supposed to be going on the Trent or Wye this weekend with a couple of mates. One had to start working on a new project, the other is newly loved up with a woman so I couldn't be bothered going fishing that far on my jack.

They were doing that in the 70's. Me and my dad were out fishing for mackeral quite often and they are pretty big close up, strange amount of ariels if I recall and all being monitored by the helicopters at RNAS Culdrose.

Spent some time on the River Severn this weekend; and I just want to say that at least half the anglers I cast my eyes upon looked like sex offenders.

haha

fuck off im an angler and look nothing like a sex offender,
ive got grey long hair ,wear shell suits ,got loads of jewellery and jangle jangle when I walk, now then now then
 
went fishing for only the 4th time this year through one thing or another, i was plagued by small carp ,but these carp were special, they weighed approx. 1.5lb to 2lb ,were put in the lake last year and every one of them was perfect ,common and mirror absolutely perfect, like as the old saying goes carved in wood ,should be belters in 15 years :)
 
Haven't been out since Friday but my mates were spread around. My brother and a friend fished the Churnet catching roach, perch, dace and chub with the biggest roach going over 1lb.

Another mate was on the Wye and had a couple of barbel up to 9lbs 1ozs but, of more interest to me, caught a bream of 3lbs+. Looking at the photo it looks more like a hybrid to me. The same swim he had a very big roach from last time we were there in August.

My best mate was on the Severn at Cressage yesterday and caught loads of barbel up to 7.5lbs. Reckons that two rather plump ladies swam through his swim at one point. In view of his post above I wondered if one of them was GDM in drag.
 
I’m a few days into my annual holiday on The Wye. We are staying on a lake full of carp which we’ve been catching easily using floaters and centre pins during the day. Great fun.

We’ve had two barbel sessions on The Wye, both on the PA stretch. The first evening I had a 3lb barbel. Last night I lost a massive fish, which I couldn’t control, then landed one of 9-8.
