scotslad Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Was speaking to the local ex fishery improvement officer, who used to be hated by most of the local boys as was very early into the catch and release while all nieghbouring rivers were doing big expensive hatching/restocking programmes and killing everyting they caught (some still doing that). But they all came round when numbers started to rise and was going great for 5 or 10 years there, but last 5 or so have been poor, with the new compulsory returning quite a few beats that had waiting lists have spaces, know of 1 beat that hasnae sold a ticket yet (only 6 rods but used to be a big waiting list, more wormy but productive water) He reckons it actually is global warming (aye ivknow the answer to everything) but reckons that with seas warming that fraction of a degree its allowing cod etc to move futher north and out compete the salmon for food as more aggresive feeders and this colder water salmon have had the food source all too themselves. He reckons u should start seeing fewer salmon but larger ones, which to be fair is starting to happen, but may still be coincedence? Can see some logic to it. But no doubt ur seals etc will be hammering them, esp in river mouth areas in times of low water (like now) when fish waiting to go upstream in numbers Fortunately the brown trout going really well and they've been catch and release for mibee 10 years now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 No idea how this all got sidetracked onto fishing? I know little about that subject - though I am 100% sure that there's a Red Sturgeon regularly seen flapping around Holyrood that needs putting back down the sewer it was fished out of - with the overfed Salmon that it hangs around with to keep it company. They may need the assistance of a good priest too... It will stop any Numpty that is not suitable to use one. I hope.I had airguns all my life and was shot with one when i was a kid.so hopefully only responsible airgun users will use them now.doesn't matter where it is.not sure of the priceing tho 75 pound is a bit steep. Ah, I see it WILL STOP ANY NUMPTY. Great!! Wonder when the SNP will bring in more "common sense" anti-numpty laws?? Alcohol consumption on licence, fried food on ration, sugar/fat-high drinks on ration, Class A drugs illegal (& add Blue pop, Red Bull & Buckfast to that category), illegal to now beat up the missus after yer team looses at fitba, illegal to drive an MoT failure without road tax or insurance while currently banned from driving on the public roads, etc. Nowt but common sense above - if ANY of that saves just one life....then the inconvenience to the other 94.9% of law abiding Scots will have been worth it! No way could ANY Scot refuse any of those ideas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Well not really we used to just move in , sit down watch telly and make then bring us a beer, empty their apple orchard the freezer steal the bank accounts and proceed to run the family firm creaming off the profits and sending it all back to good old queen vicky. Our men and women died colonialising these places, then do gooders decided to give them all back, not only did we lose revinue, but the countries themselves fell apart civil wars military cooes mass slaughtering pupet governments starvation desease and all round bad news folowed and still is ongoing in some countries, INDIA did a bit better they kept some red post boxes kept producing old austins and old enfields but never really thrived after we left. Being under British rule was not all good i imagine, just the same as being under Roman rule was not ideal, but better than no rule at all and all the problems that can cause, show me one roaring sucsess story anywhere in the world that used to be pink thats doing better now than when it was a colony, even Australia which is doing well, might have grown faster under our umberella. NZ is doing ok but like all small birds in a bad winter they get hit, look at 911 it put NZ airlines into trouble and hit the ecconomy pretty hard for a wile, Not saying canada NZ or AUSIE would want back in the Empire, but others have not faired so well, thats the point. England dont need scotland or wales to survive, but England would rather we were all together AS great Britain, but are we to believe the jocks have no lkove for us? Well some dont thats clear, Phi;ip is one stewrgeon salmond the same and a fair old % by the sounds of it, so keep shunning an admirer eventualy they will give up on you, Scotland needs to get off its high horse even if nicola still wants to ride it and start taking this Great britain thing seriously again put this whole salmond fiasaco behind them and move on. Because if this keeps up this constant threat of dis union between us, England and wales might just have a referendum to see if we still want SCOTALAND with US!. And sorry but i think England would fare better than Scotland on their own any day of the week. Ouicker these SNP jerks are out of office the better, . And guns air guns on a ticket? man they need ******* for that come on nothing to be gained here but pure bullying tacktics and the very seedlings of shooting. Disgusting. I know what you mean but I wasn't referring to empire building , but rather the world wars.But as you mentioned it haven't some of those countries we once 'ruled', since gained independence?

But as you mentioned it haven't some of those countries we once 'ruled', since gained independence? Yes, and FishFace is keen to emulate those break-away countries She has her sights set on a Mugabe style reformation of the countryside = land grab "for the masses" - it'll look great on the SNP flyers & press releases but do ****** all for the economy & the welfare/lifestyle of the average Scot ....well, until she "gifts" the land to Merkel as part of the New Western Germany offshore expansion zone. Gotta get into the EU somehow & Socialists always seem to put bribes ahead of principles. Has anyone asked the midgies what they think?

scotslad Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 No offence phillip but ur really not helping urself or the streo type of scots with chips on there shoulder wanting independence. Esp associated to the snp The airgun laws are lunacy, plenty of laws already exist if they were only enforced. Even the polis say that and with so many 'illegal' air guns in circulation they will be turning up for decades yet If u havnae got the itellegance or anything decent to say ur better of keeping quiet, is there not an old saying "better to keep quiet and let people think ur an idiot than open ur mouth and prove it" ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Trouble is most of those are sensible and don't go round thinking the world owes them a living. Just because they aren't gobby and always angry, people don't seem to notice them so much. They were noticed in the indyref though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslad Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ud think diff if one of ur kids got shot wi one.patriotic scot here my friend try it. Do u honestly think all these numpies are going to automatically hand all these guns in that are below there beds/in cupboards?? Generally these numpies are not big on following laws. And even if they really really want 1 it's not that much hassle to get 1 shipped up from carlisle/newcastle is it. Unless ur advocating a full on border control with real car searches?? This stupid law will not save a single life and kids/people/song birds/cats will still be shot illegally just as they are shot illegally now The snp are a bunch off loony tunes if u really can't see that u have ur snp/tartan tinted glasses on, i'm all for independence just nort under them, be no shooting gun or land ownership left if they get there way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootingEgg Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Seems to be getting a bit heated in here. Unfortunately law or no law, the low life scum that are in this world will aquire an air gun or live fire gun if they want one, now law will ever stop that... Being patriotic has not alot to do with violent crime. Im a ptriotic British bloke who happens to be English, and have no issue with the Scots (or Northerners, seeing as philip calls me a southerner). But gun crime is gun crime... Be it legally held or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walshie Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 I'm sure I'm looking at it a bit simplistically, but I'm confused. The SNP supporters don't want to be part of the UK, but want to use our currency. They want to be part of the EU but not use their currency? The SNP held a vote to leave the UK. They lost and haven't stopped whining about it ever since. The UK voted to leave the EU and they haven't stopped whining about that either. I can understand losing 2 big votes one after the other is a bit of a kick in the nuts, but why do they have to be such insufferable bores about it? Would they start being pleasant reasonable human beings if they ever won a vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'll happen, despite the 60-40 vote by Scotland just gone that the cretin cranky keeps bleating on about, she forgets that Scotland voted as part of the United Kingdom, not as a nation that Salmond calls it.........Talking of trolls I have to say you take the biscuit.
