Does anyone know if the phone line is down ? I've tried calling them, after sending an alarm to them a little over 3 weeks ago and cant get in touch via phone or email ?
Update:
Ive got in touch, so no issues.

The reason certain people have strong feelings about this is , is fairly straight forward ... we are actively breeding and have bred a generation of instant gratification gammon bred attention seeking morons.. end of..

Fishing a lake of about 5 acres in size , up to 6ft deep max in parts, with a rough stock of 40 fish , theres a stream exit point which is incredibly shallow and hypothetically fish could pass through in winter floods. fished it repeatedly all spring/ summer through weed growth to the lakes surface, algae blooms etc.. and caught absolutely nothing , being honest I cannot hand on heart say I've seen a definite carp..this is a lake in absolute middle of nowhere nature reserve about a mile from nearest road, not pressured, no fished much, is it possible otters took all the fish, they escaped, they are hiding.. any experiences with seemingly shallow lakes where fish evaporate then reappear...for context I've done 4 nights, several day sessions andn even sessions in summer months , not seen another angler

In my opinion chest wading is more dangerous than using an inflatable pvc boat with life
jacket on most lakes, the inability to guarantee silt depth and foot placement. At least in a multi chambered pvc boat if you got a puncture youd make it to the edge.

Mines primarily for making spots or finding existing spots near snags, so I need to be able to get near them with a bare lead on a rod, then anchor up and have a few test prods about and see A what's down there, and B if the snags actually stopped weed from enveloping it which is what I'm hoping.. I've never seen lake this weedy

Been out in it today, this gnarly local lake with weed and sub surface snags, I was a bit on edge as you get a totally different perspective from a boat. Scared crap out myself when out of the Polaroids a massive submerged tree appeared couldn't have been more than 6" from surface, obviously had life jacket.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
