Just been speaking to my mate, he has been waiting over 3 months for his conversion from BCUK, sent £500+ months ago, no answer over the phone, or email etc.....he reckons BCUK has gone tits up and is now trading under a new name.......

Will be interesting to see how the European carp fraternity reacts, there is a huge huge market out there and this will probably give his company the vast majority of his sales.

Sure its not April 1st with all the rubbish and conspiracy theories being banded about on here....
If there was such an additive that can pull fish from hundreds of yards and make them feed then every match fisherman, fly fisherman, bass fisherman etc would be onto it along with the multi billion pound world fishing industry...
or maybe us humble carp anglers have stumbled upon something ground breaking......I really think not....

Man goes on modern day podcast to talk about his catches....

Why is that any different to the old days where Rod, Kev, Zen, Tim etc etc used to publicise all their fantastic catches in the rags.....

Nothing is any different just that some who don't like social media shouldn't use it then spout off on a carp forum.,.

Fair play to the guy......looks like he has developed a style of fishing that he is confident in and has been consistently catching for some years........add to that he has found an edge that works and wants to keep it quiet sounds logical to me......
All bygone edges were only that until the masses piled in.... hair rigs, HNV bollies, bolt rigs, fluoro pops, stiff rigs, fish meals etc etc

Angling Trust Guidelines on their website:

How far can we travel to go fishing?
Only local travel is permitted for the purpose of daily exercise as set out in the Government's travel guidance here

This specifies the ‘local area' – ie. town, village or part of the city in which you live. However, there is a recognition that there will be a need to travel for outdoor exercise. This should be done locally wherever possible, but you can travel a short distance within your area to do so if necessary (for example, to access an open space).

Anglers will need to apply commonsense and judgement in defining their local area rather than fixating on parish boundaries. A lake or river in a neighbouring parish may well be closer than one on the other side of the same town. In short, you should be fishing your nearest available waters.

If you have no local fishing available then you will have to take your daily exercise in other ways.

i wouldn't be surprised if the current lockdown laws/guidelines are increased in the next few days....there are a lot of people out and about today, albeit following the rules, but that must be a concern to the scientists who model the rate of transmission. We may be restricted to limited time outside your.house like they did to good effect in Spain

Agree mate
I do hope that now AT have secured angling during lockdown they produce some guidelines for us to follow (similar to the Lockdown Bailiff and Fishery management guidelines on their site) and not just sit sit back and class it as exercise and let us interpret that as we wish.
