When I try to post images - a box appears to allow the url addy to be pasted, but then nowt. The box just stays open. The only way to close the box is to actually leave the message board and return. It's a pita. Same for quoting. I can't get the quote to work. Do I have to enable something in the profile/account?

Jess Glynne - Hold my hand. Awesome track and the video is pretty cool too.

Interesting read, John. I guess the crux falls down to Amino? Obviously, it also depends on what the fish is eating at any given time, just as it stands to reason that the size of the fish should be taken into account. With over 100 Amino Acids to choose from within nature, the protein count of structures to build a protein is almost infinite, yet only 20 Amino Acids (EAA and NEAA) are required to sustain Carp, and even then, the total of 20 is a contentious figure to quote, however, working on the assumption of the 20 (*10 EAA* and 10 NEAA), research carried out by the learned has produced some marvellous reading. On a daily basis, all things considered, and the Carp is a healthy fish, the daily requirement to maintain a healthy body is estimated to be very close to 1g per kilo of body weight, and for maximum Protein retention it is estimated to be 12g per kilo of body weight. However, the efficiency of Nitrogen utilization for Carp growth is estimated to be between 7g and 8g per kilo of body weight, with Crude Protein ranging from 30% to 38% being the optimal. As stated previously, this depends entirely on the diet that the Carp is eating and providing the diet contains sufficient digestible energy, the optimal Protein level can drop from 30%-38% to a level of between 30% and 35%. As mentioned above, the required intake differs depending on fish size, health of the fish at time of feeding, but studies carried out has given results as such: Essential Amino Acid daily requirements Arginine ---------- 4.3% of Protein ------------- 6.4% of Diet Histidine-----------2.1% of Protein ------------- 0.8% of Diet Isoleucine --------2.5% of Protein --------------0.9% of Diet Leucine -----------3.3% of Protein --------------1.3% of Diet Lysine -------------5.7% of Protein --------------2.2% of Diet Methionine -------2.1% of Protein --------------0.8% of Diet Phenylalanine ---3.4% of Protein --------------1.4% of Diet Threoline ---------3.9% of Protein --------------1.5% of Diet Trytophan --------0.8% of Protein --------------0.3% of Diet Valine -------------3.6% of Protein --------------1.4% of Diet Cysteine and Tyrosine can spare or even replace certain amounts of dietary requirement as is Methionine and Phenylalanine and as such, the reading(s) where relevant is thus: Cysteine ----------5.2% of Protein --------------2.0% of Diet Tyrosine ----------2.6% of Protein ---------------1.0% of Diet *The figure 10 EAA could be 9 EAA and 11 NEAA due to inconclusive study into Histidine. Some research states it is EAA whilst other research has stated it could be NEAA. Either way, it is, for topical debate in this conversation, being classed as an EAA. I 100%, whole-heartedly agree with your comment regarding bait, John. If you don't know what you're feeding them, how do we know it is good for them?

I believe that there will be boilies to buy in the very near future. Mwaaaaahhhhaaaa....Today Casino - tomorrow Beenleigh :mrgreen:

Hi citn. Don't limit yourself to fishing above the silt, mate. (not that I am saying you are) If you see Carp flopping over the top of your silt, it is a good sign that they have been burying their heads past the gills in the silt and are dancing across the water to clear them. (obviously this isn't always the case though) Maybe a hook with a boom hair would suit your purpose in the silt instead of following the norm. You certainly aren't doing too much, if anything wrong, what with the results you have had this week.

Hi, What boilies are available to purchase through tackle shops in NSW, and are they readily available? What price are they in store? Can they be purchased online in Oz? Thanks for any help.

Am you sure, mufty? www.youtube.com/watch?v=plZRe1kPWZw

'You could use pebbles?' Fred and Wilma might have something to say about that.

Cheers letters, I'll give Spotify a look.

Prof - is it anything specific you are looking for? If you have any more issues - take a look here www,banksidetackle.co.uk/ If you see anything you fancy buying - go for it, tell Finchy not to deliver (space for notes on the order form) - I will go pick it up and send it on to you willingly.

A very dear friend lives in Casino (no need to elaborate on what goes on their as a yearly event) and relays each year what gets taken out from the river that backs on to his garden. He is a Scotstraylian - Sweaty by birth but emigrated. As he says - you abide by the rules of the Country you live in. He wants to C&R, then he can - if he wants to kill the fish for food - he can. We as Brits have no right to be annoyed because other nationalities don't abide by our 'so high' standards. Swamptrout - what sizes do catch? Is boilie an established form of baiting or do you have your own method?

Listening to nothing at all now. The music powers that be have decided to close Grooveshark down.

I'm actually reading the book in between texting. I've read the book umpteen times before and the one thing that always puzzles me - how comes Tel never caught pneumonia with all his wading upto his shoulders on Yately. He caught everything else

With Ipswich looking good, it may well be hard to prise Mick McCarthy away, probably cost a bit too, but he is more than capable of residing at a Premiership Club who will allow him to spend money.

Gone Fishing with Jack Hargreaves was an introduction that has lasted a lifetime. Having to go to nan's to watch the 'big telly' was a thrill in itself back in them days
