i got some good photos throughout the day, but things lightened up in the last 20minz..... with a stunning 15lber to me!! caught it on a swamp fox ...

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were three finalists; two men and a woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill her!" The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife." ...

No coincidence that martin bowler is an angling times columnist eh Seriously though anglers contribute a massive percentage to the licence fee so why shouldnt we have our fair share of our sport on TV what better way to educate and show non anglers that we are not "angling scum" to borrow a phrase from our peaceful balaclava wearing activist brothers, the new channel 5 series has robson green presenting it??????

Yobbs with blobs ??????

billy barbel — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 23:06:07 GMT

Traditionalist fly anglers up in arms over 'blobs'

And about bloody time i found this in the telegraph.

The world of fly-fishing has been rattled by the use of a controversial lure which is being blamed for spawning "yobbish" behaviour in the sport.

Traditionalists claim that the brightly coloured "blob" trout lure is unsporting and should be banned. They accuse its users of adopting aggressive tactics, with the new breed of fishermen described as "yobs ...

Orlando Florida Report 7/20/08

Capt Chris M — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:54:53 GMT

Fishing in the Mosquito Lagoon and north Indian River Lagoon has been outstanding for the past couple weeks. Redfish, trout, tarpon, and even snook have been willing to eat well placed artificials. For the fly fishermen, tailing redfish have been plentiful and have been feeding throughout the day in the very shallow grass. For those looking to tangle with big fish, tarpon from 70-100 pounds have been making frequent showings in the deeper waters. They can be there one day and gone the next but ...

Sit on it he said!!!!!!!

billy barbel — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:54:58 GMT

I learned a very valuable lesson this weekend regarding the old carp lark, after sitting for nearly five and a half hours with a bait out on a lily pad i was thinking about changing over to another bait and god forbid!!! a different rig. Im not used to sitting on a bait for such a long time or sitting on a bait at all for that matter, anyway i think the wise old Mr stott could see the twitching in my fingers (probably from the chianti on friday night) and proceeded to tell me about sitting on ...

swordfish found dead on a beach in South Wales

Stotty — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 08:41:55 GMT

An endangered swordfish has been found dead on a beach in South Wales.

The 224cm long billfish was found yesterday on Barry Island beach, near the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales, and is believed to weigh 60-80 kg.

The identity of the fish was confirmed by Doug Herdson, Information Officer for the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, who manages the UK Marine Fish Recording Scheme.

Herdson said the fish was a swordfish, Xiphias gladius, the sole member of the swordfish family ...
