Update - rang AA to ask, and informed it's similar to Squid and Octopus etc. Posting in case it's useful for anyone else curious.

Morning guys,

Anyone know what the infrared flavour from AA baits is? I'm assuming some sort of hot chilli, but can't find anything online or or their website.

Cheers

If I'm reading this right, and simplifying a bit, they're mixing one liquid with another to stop it boiling off? I guess the test is - does the bait have a scent? If so, I'd say it's probably true.

Ah right. Thanks for clearing that up, and apologies for a mistaken assumption.

Personally I still wouldn't count the fish as mine, unless I'd setup,cast out etc. etc. That said, a photo with your brother? Absolutely! I'd count it as a joint capture, enjoy the moment, and get that rod out again

When I was at the lake last there was a guy turned up with camo seat covers in his VW transporter. Pretty sure they're not catching him any more fish!

On the other side of the coin - different lake, different club, there's a fella always turns up from work wearing bright orange PPE trousers. Catches loads.

Sure, I could be wrong in my assumption.
Rather than challenging a hypothetical why not ask the OP for more clarity?

@chopper The assumption you were fishing came from your statement that your brother has claimed fish on your rods in the past, therefore you both fish together?

Did you reel in your own rods, to tend your brothers when he left?

The OP states that he looked after his brother's rods, and had a half decent on one. What other conclusion is there?

Or are you jumping to the conlusion he reeled in his own rods to look after his brothers?

I'd respoectfully disagree. While his brother was away, technically he was. I'm sure if you leave your swim you should reel in, or is fish safety no longer our priority? How do you think the EA would view it?

Under the section on fishing rods - "It's illegal to leave a rod and line in the water unattended or over which you don't have sufficient control."

Here's the link: https://www.gov.uk/freshwater-rod-fishing-rules/tackle-you-can-use

I can see why this is contentious, and say why it shouldn't be allowed. It's rpart of the law on your rod license. You're allowed to fish two or three rods no more than ten feet butt to butt. You must also be in control of all rods in the water. So yeah, technically it's illegal.
Imagine you get takes on your rod and a rod in the next swim. You cannot strike and play both, so one leaves a fish tethered, and potentially in danger. I imagine that what the law is there for. Any bailiff worth their salt should know that too.

I agree. I don't use any tech either, other than bite alarms. If I blank it's all part of fishing. If I caught every time I wouldn't go!

I think this whole thread has wandered a bit though. The oOP asked about drones in making fishing videos, and I can understand that with costs and all.

As for the numpties on the bank, they can annoy me too. I think people can do what they like though, as long as they're not upsetting anyone else. I guess that's the real point isn't it? A little thought and respect go a long way, for the environment, other anglers, and life in general.

The "weasal words", and some of the other comments from the older anglers here, were a bit uncalled for, I thought. Surely a point can be made without denigrating remarks? That's respect too.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
