Just thought i'd start a thread on fishing, to see if anyone out there shares my favorite hobby. I go mainly freshwater float fishing, for lots of different species.
I fish mainly in Kent and Essex at different lakes. Do's anyone know any decent lakes in the greater London area ? icon_biggrin.gif

Is it cruel to keep hooking fish and throwing them back just for your enjoyment??????????

Yes, there is a point to it, its called fun, I suppose you would ban fish keeping aswell, whats the point ? or people doing anything you dont agree with, left wing do gooders, nanny state plonker, get a life mate, go do some happy clapping somewhere.

I admit i know nothing about fishing, i have been a couple of times and caught a barbel on the severn at Bridgenorth and a few Roach and stuff. I went sea fishing once off Wales and found it fasinating and exhausting, and bloody sunburning.

But i once had a job delivering fresh fish to Hotels in and around Birmingham, and i delivered Carp quite often, they were covered in snot and kept sliding all around the back of the van, absolutley disgusting, who eats the bloody things????

In eastern europe Carp are a delicacy, there was a eastern european bloke that was nicked for trying to keep his catch to take it home to eat.
Not as slimy as Bream though biggrin.gif
