Fishing Information. =============== Fishing has been a popular sport in Britain for a long time. Fishing can take place wherever there is water and in any season although the spring time is usually more quiet especially April time. There are many different types of fish that can be caught off the coasts of Britain and its rivers although they vary from place to place and with the seasons and so on but there is usually something to be caught. In this op, I will mostly be writing about sea fishing as I have a larger knowledge of the subject compared to other types of fish such as fly fishing and fresh water fishing. Fish have been around way before ...  Read the complete review

What freshwater fish in British waters is more maligned than the pike? In game fisheries, it’s a detested menace and is ruthlessly hunted down and destroyed. One even hears local legends of monstrous pike attacking small children who are paddling or bathing! Yet the pike, like many other top-of-the-food-chain predators, has an important role to play in culling the population of fish lower down in the food chain, especially fish that are in poor condition. Part of the reason for the pike’s notoriety is that it is a pure predator with a somewhat menacing appearance. Its body is streamlined like a barracuda, it has a large bill-like head and its ...  Read the complete review

Well, I dont reely know much about fishing, but Ive got a mate called Rod. According to rod, worms are the master bait. Sounds like a load of wank to me, but I guess its not really my plaice to say. I did have a pet fish called Dave once, but when I put him in his new tank, he drowned and died. I took him to the vets to find out what happened to him. Turns out Dave was an Iguana. I was gutted. But more to the point, I think we should hunt anti-hunting protesters. You would see the fear in their faces better when you point a shotgun in their face. Look out for more work in The Grim Reaper episode ...  Read the complete review

Fishing may seem boring to the outsider. In fact it is often boring when you like the sport. Fishing is probably one of the most laughed at and mocked sports around. This is unfair. Ok so it may not require muscular physique or a high level of fitness but it is just as much of a sport as golf or cricket. Fishing can be enjoyed by all if you are willing to give it a try and start off correctly with someone who is experienced rather then spending hundreds on a rod, going down the canal, getting in plenty of tangles, not catching a thing, spilling maggots in with the tackle and getting rained on. Fishing is one of my favourite past times and I try to ...  Read the complete review

It would seem that there is a vocal minority within the anti-blood sports league that after hunting with hounds is banned will then attempt to ban the sport of fishing. Their reasoning is that is is cruel and causes unnecessary mental and physical suffering to the fish. Fish do not have appreciable long-term memory as far as scientists are aware so would not remember taking a hook within minutes of it happening. It can also be said that the vast majority of anglers after landing the fish are very careful to ensure the hook is removed so as to cause minimum trauma and will on placing it back in the water support their catch to allow strength to return. ...  Read the complete review
