  2. I tend to vote for a person not a party. Dont forget there are some anti conservatives (Anne Widicombe) and pro labour (Kate Howie). Also with regards to the presonallity type. Will they give a dam about the local community you live ? So in my time ive voted for several parties but to date not Labour they've always had a right idiot in my area!!! Tight Lines Aled

  5. Thats a great story, i love seeing kids catching fish, especially their first. There's a stretch of water on my home river which is free for local kids and pensioners. This stretch is prime sea trout and salmon water. Some of the kids have landed some huge fish there, causing a lot of jealousy amongst local anglers ( ) something i find very amusing. Good on em kids i say! Tight Lines Aled
  6. Hi Tote There has been plenty of fish around this year, but only for those who worm and spin! iIve had some sewin up to around 8lb, however i've had three weddings, plus some stag do's and fishing has had to play second fiddle to these and my first year of parenthood ! Planning to have a few hours on Saturday. Tight Lines Aled
  7. Dad had been taught to fish by his Father, and he introduced me to fishing at 6years old. I caught a suicidal rainbow trout of 13ozs just before my 8th birthday i was hooked. Around the same time we had a black lab, Dad and I used to go rough shooting Dad loved the walk but was not a great lover of shooting. Shooting came with an air rifle in my teens, Mum was really not happy and stopped me having a 410, however as soon as i was old enough i got myself a shotgun cert and cheap baikal. Fishing, especially for sea trout is my first love, but i do love rough shooting, and air rifle hunting. I'm

  22. Hi IanB Its strange but i agree with you, we sometimes find an oasis of rabbits in the middle of a desert of Mixy often on land surrounded by a stream or two. Only a suggestion i accept it may not be practical, bloody hate the disease, really knocks sport for six. Ah well. Tight Lines Aled
  23. Jeeeeeeeeeeez Aled, be worth me tramping up there Al I had a chat with the butcher there and this chap with a lurcher brought them up to the Cardiff from Pembrokeshire, don't forget though guys these are what the butcher was selling them for. He probably bought them in at lot less. What i will also say is that waste ground, commomns, and even grassed rounabouts in Cardiff were full of Coney, in far higher concentrations than i saw them at home in Dinefwr! Cheers Aled

  25. I was reading this site and was wondering if it would be worth opening a thread on where in the UK mixy is seen during 12 months. i.e. "Mixy Watch" (corny but there you go! ) My idea being those who see mixy in their area could tell others therefore allowing Coney to be left in peace and make a comeback. What do you think? Is it open to too much abuse? Is it pointless? This is only a suggestion, and open for discussion. Tight Lines Al
