That's backwards. It's a corrective action. You need preventive action. Stop the crime in the first place. Not lock people up after they've already done it. It's a real challenge for sure.

How hard is it to understand "dont steal fish" They understand and dont care. It's not better education of the laws thats needed but a greater enforcement and harsher punishment.

Great thanks for the feedback again. I definitely think I'll be making some changes and moving to a bog standard lead clip. My thoughts with the very short hook link was to encourage the carp feeling the lead and bolting sooner but perhaps foolishly I had never considered that a certain length will be required simply for the carp to pick up and get the bait deep in the mouth haha. I will certainly be changing to a longer hook link going forward

Typical sweeping statement designed to pigeonhole someone who happens to have a slightly different viewpoint than yourself, I am surprised you didn't mention Enoch Powell then, And who would supervise all this work when there is an overcrowded prison system and a lack of prison officers to look after them already ,one things for sure though the eastern Europeans would be the hardest working bunch in there

Typical lefty hug a hoody bull poo. 100% of people who steal know its against the law so telling them something they already know is a waste of money. As for prisoners costing money to keep In prison the simple answer is make them work for their keep while they pay their dept to society.

I would suggest it's probably cheaper to educate people and create an exam for your rod licence than pay for extra prisons to house all these people you wish to send down

Of course they used propaganda during Brexit they all did to try and get people on there side, Sadly I fail to see what I said that was funny,

Didn’t see the stiff rig bit sorry..

Not really , It's called propaganda the Nazis did it lots to make the Germans hate the Jews, much the same as the ukips are doing to try and make us hate eastern Europeans in the same way,it's probably easier than ever with social media to make stuff up and get it in the public eye and it's probably untraceable too, but if you read enough bad tweets or articles you will be slowly getting brainwashed day by day

completely agree with the war on drugs being an unwinnable one other than it being legalised so many police top brass have said the same thing but it falls on deaf ears because politicians are to worried about what the public think of them instead of whats in the best interest of the country. they need to create a ministry of common sense.

What I was thinking... bit of a random thing to make up and put in a newspaper.

Trouble is the system isn't working,firstly why is most crime caused because by addiction or out of desperation So this backwards government would rather let criminals run the recreational drugs business,they would make a load of revenue in tax by legalising certain drugs, take the power back and be controlling it, probably saving the NHS time and funds in the process this would also help the police as they would have more time to solve other issues, and probably be able to fund rehab facilities to help people rather than punishing people for being addicts, Council tax is a joke with the majority not going to where it should ,the schools aren't getting enough funds last year we had to go in and do maintenance work ourselves to keep it tidy as they just don't have the funds They are taxing people to the hilt and affordable property that's a joke,and all that affects a child's upbringing me and my wife have to work full time to keep a roof over our head,and we're still just scraping through because house prices are through the roof because of the property boom caused by rich people forcing the prices up with there need for a weekend retreat and a portfolio of buy to lets, all good solid investments but homelessness is massively increased because if it, There are better ways but they are turning a blind eye to it,

Personal preference I guess. I just don't like beaked points.... 😉

I've been to loads of day tickets where there is litter left all over the shop though and that isn't just Europeans it's just lazy People, I don't like litter of any kind being left by anyone,I had a go at a posh English woman cos she let her dog stinky winky on the playing field, she had to pick it up on her coat cos she didn't have any bags 😁 There are good and bad in all walks of life,perhaps there needs to be better education on fishing laws in this country I heard in Germany you have to take an exam before you are allowed a fishing licence that could work

Wow this is brilliant thanks so much for the responses I feel like I'm learning so much from this. It's a bottom bait rig. It does release the lead to be a running rig but there is a small lip to hold in place and give some 'bolt rig effect'. So tips so far; - Longer overall length to allow bait pick up - less aggressive angle on the shrink tube to allow wide gape hook to work it's magic - larger hook size - use a lead clip to encourage self hooking principle

Furzebray north Devon top water nice accommodation nice owner decent fish

Got to feel a bit sorry for the Eastern euros there has been a problem with them eating what they catch but not to the level the hysterics would have us believe all the guys i have meet out fishing have been nothing but decent, they do like to take a drink with them and BBQ, the last lad was offering me whiskey and beer, they seem to like stanwicks always a few on there. The Sun aims their news at the raging reactionary type that does not fact check the froth they are being served. Viva the revolution, lol.

They came back earlier while my mate was there. They didn't hang around long once he started tearing into them. Has them on video now and cut another long story short the 2 of us now have permission to fish the lakes from security as long as we report anyone who looks dodgy and get photographs of them.
