Dead barbel log

Post by Neville Fickling »

Would anyone who spots a dead barbel on the Trent please log it here. time location size and number seen at site. i had a look this morning at Gainsborough. Admittedly the nearest regularly barbel fished stretch is at Marton 4 miles upstream so the fact that I noted more vodka bottles than barbel means little. i bottle no barbel. The progression of barbel down the Trent depends very much on the wind direction. a straight south will encourage dead barbel to travel further downstream. Any other direction and dead barbel may be washed to the bank where scavengers will remove. Very difficult too assess degree of mortality.

so all the clubs who have recognised the EA advice to shut down the barbel fishing are just running round like headless chickens are they?

How very clever to instigate a barbel watch (just to show how clever you are) AFTER we have just had heavy rain and plenty more on its way

Pity you didn't do it 3 weeks ago if you were that skeptical :roll:

and seeing how as most of the RESPONSIBLE Trent anglers wont be on the Trent very much, and as there are very few Trent anglers on here---its going to be about as useful as the Big pike list :lol:

Ah so there's no one on the river reporting dead barbel, yet according to you there are loads. I'm confused!

oh dear, we have another groundhog day

Members of clubs are reporting seeing LOTS of dead barbel to their relevant committees---these clubs have finally decided along with the EA that it is in the best interests of the barbel to shut the river

does that not tell you something, it tells me there have been a lot of dead barbel seen, my customers have reported seeing them, Alans customers have seen them, would seem only you doubt it.
There are 7 weirs between up here and you down there where you are, a million bends in the river, anglers and predators who may pull out dead barbel. Yet because you havnt seen any barbel in the 5 minutes you sat on the bridge --there arnt any :roll:

Look on Trent Anglers FB page---a chap reported having 3 dead barbel in his swim at the same time at Collingham a few weeks back, they probably still there as according to you they just go up and down with the tide

Any angler finding or seeing any dead fish has a responsibility to report them to the EA.
Their second action should be to make a similar report to the relevant Angling Club or the Riparian owner.
The third action could be to send a copy to the Angling Trust.
A forth action could be to send a copy to the National Body most interested in the species.

Only then should the angler consider contributing data to a log, list, survey or whatever set up by a private individual or group (simply because you do not know how your information may be used in the future).

But heartfelt advice all the same, and from someone who has no axe to grind.

Sometimes its a good idea to just take a step back and try and see yourself as others see you.

personal insults-----where?

everything I have said about you Neville, the nepotism, the sweeping under the carpet etc is true, not insults its what you have done --- you know it, and you also know how I know it.

Well I'd dispute that. you made a lot of allegations about Chew over the years none of which stood up to scrutiny. Someone who is so dishonest about other people is hardly someone I'd listen too.

you can dispute what you like Neville---you know what I know, and you know I have promised not to tell---but feck me you getting close

allegations about Chew not standing upto scrutiny? oh really! :laughs: who did the scrutinising?
lets see---I kicked off about the tackle people were using (sea rods, bells, no or inadequate mat, etc etc) ---you didn't did you, not a feckin peep, not one. I wonder why? I didnt just slag you off though Neville, I slagged off the "big names" who also said feck all in case they didn't get a ticket---only one well known angler to my knowledge did---and I warned him that I had been banned for slagging Chew off, that was your nemesis who put the fish before glory first.
I drew notice to a number of large fyke nets drying out on the boat ramp----lets see, how many denied they were there?, how many said I was lying? (Alan was with me as well, was he lying as well ?) how many said the could categorically swear that no nets had ever been used?---finally several years later Chew admitted using them-- purportedly to catch some tench :laughs:

now tell me-----what else hasn't stood up to scrutiny?

its what you did(nt) do ---because of you not wanting to take things further someone who wrongly claimed thousands for expenses (and was paid them) wasn't prosecuted nor made to pay them back---why was that?
