Swap section

[Steve Le maitre]

A swap section might be a good addition, money tight etc and stuff sat doing nothing equally things you want/ need.
Say you have stuff you don't want, Jim doesn't have much money to buy it but wants it, he has stuff to trade that you just happen to want too !
Simply put a picture up of what you've got to swap with a list of things you'd happily trade them for - good idea ?

................From when pike fishing was at its best, when effort equalled reward, I think nowadays its more money that gets the rewards,just my opinion.

The waters that I grew up with,,,,where everytime you went piking you were in with a chance of a 20 and on some a outside chance of a 30,I looked forward so much to retiring and doing a lot more piking, but my diaries show me that that for the last 15 years or so it has been going downhill until these last 2 years it hit rock bottom and here we are again this season has started off the same,I don't join expensive clubs and I dont fish expensive day ticket waters....but then I never did, and I did as well as anyone else back then, I never lure fished then and I dont now, the reason is simple as far as I am concerned, the ee's lure fishing have emptied everywhere,its not the otters or cormarants its them f*******rs, they have ruined my retirement as far as I am concerned.Everyone has a river or lake or ressie or pit somewhere near them that back then they could fish and have a few if all things had been equal, now like I keep saying if it ain't big or got a fence round it it is f*****ed.
