    Another thing gone is the Silver Eels you would alway catch Eels on every trip. The Elvers used to be masses of them about foot wide endless shoals gone. Also think it might have been young prawns against the banks millions upon millions of them gone. As youngsters we would catch School Bass that had gorged them selfs on Elvers so much they would be hanging out there gills. Maybe the bottom of the food chain has gone. The other thing is mono filament gill nets set close to the shore they didn't exist when was a youngster. Remember seeing massive drop in sea fish when they came in. Ch

    The rivers around here used to have far more raw sewerage going in. Used to be Black come out of the pipe and the river was teeming with fish. Beside the outfall was the best place to dig Harbour Ragworm. The outfall coming out of the sewer works now is mostly clear but we never used to have all the dishwasher tablets, Washing powder was soap we never used to put so much bleach down the sink or drain cleaning stuff. Plus Garden sprays lawn treatment etc. We don't have reclaimed land much in down here but may have run off from farms but farmers been spreading dung for hundreds of years. I

    All I notice FD is you start with small insults and then they get bigger and bigger. All GM did was point out you post the most yet don't believe in Big Cats in the wild. Cheers Arry

    The sewer from the town used to go one mile down stream by pipe into two large lagoons then overflow into reed beds then come out of a pipe black into the river. There was plenty of Salmon then along with thousands of Grey Mullet feeding off the scum from the out fall. Now you hardly see the Mullet, some but nothing like it used to be. This don't sound good but there was so many as kids we tied 4/0 hooks up the line and foul hook Mullet fill a sack and drag them around the estate flogging them for a tanner each as cat food. Also got the occasional Red Fleshed Spotted Bass lol. The rivers

    Personal Terry I believe it's the sheer number of Seals now. There are over 30 in Brixham harbour every headland has large groups of them a mate told me there were 18 on the mud flats at Dartmouth. What chance has the Salmon got they hug the coast as they come back to spawn they run the gauntlet at every point on the coast and right up the tidal length of the river. I live about 12 miles up the river for the mouth and as a kid it was rare to see a seal. If one was spotted me and a couple of mates would row down the river as the tide dropped keeping an eye out on the banks. We usually would fi

    Was thinking they were Charlottes, they did well for me. I harvested early just one week after the flowers fell off . But I sure I had blight starting and too close to the Green House. Charlottes nice tasting spud don't think it's as good as Nicola I grew last year but they are fine. Thinking maybe I will try and get some "International Kidney" to try which are Jersey Royals next year. Cheers Arry
