More than enough for one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, probably also a welcome retreat from trying to digest the covid virus threads in this forum or 'marking as read' as I am presently doing most of the time. I am finding that there are members here I will naturally be socially distancing from long after the pandemic is over lol.... 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Faversham in Kent for two years and that was the time I did some serious carp fishing but with moderate success and a lot of blanks. My favorite fishing was trotting for barbel on the Dorset Stour and the Royalty on the Avon. Smashed up by some monsters on the Stour near Bistern at a venue that only opened for the month of September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send them down to Oz (the east Europeans) provided they go home again. Carp are noxious pests. The image above shows the benefits of removing carp from an area. This wetland dried out, carp were prevented from returning using a screen and the system filled again naturally. The improved water clarity is clear to see.

coxyhog Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 We used to beach fish in Oman,a parachute between two Landcruisers as shade,a cold box full of beer & wine and occasionally a bite. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I am clearing and reorganising my store cupboard. So it's finally come to this. Tackling the most boring task in the world. Then a trip to the local refuse dump. I suppose. Even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had one bite and just the one fish in three trips to my local fishery. Thank God the beer never stopped being sold and they do good food. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPK Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Looking at flights for December and wondering if I should go for it and book it. Already had 2 trips cancelled so far because of all this carry on. Thinking of a couple 1 week trips around Europe somewhere once the airlines are up and running and just leaving Thailand until December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends upon whether you can DEFINITELY obtain a full refund and not a voucher in the event of having to cancel. Vouchers are turning out to be effectively a scam being followed by substantial additional surcharges in some cases on rebooking the new flights.
