Nice to see a post on the uk carp forum which says all.Which one of my members posted this?you can p.m me if you prefer,but thank you.
Incidently I have been banned from this forum for speaking up and defending my fishery and my Members!!!.Regards PaulThis is what my Member Spoke up about.It's as simple as this, a lot of people enjoy fishing at Menards, me included and each time I go I see and meet usually the same regular carpers who are always friendly and willing to help you land that cracker and drink tea with. Yes it is quite dear to fish there but for the cost you get a limited fishery with great surroundings and specimen Carp. I enjoy losing myself in that place for several days and hopefully catching a nice size carp in the process.
The main thing I like, is knowing that there wont be any d**kheads down there screaming all night after downing a pint of shandy for the first time in their lifes and not being able to handle it!!
I know I can safely fall asleep without having to worry about waking up to find my rods gone unlike so many other fisheries?
I can also rely on the fishery owner to not allow wannabie fishermen with their 5lb line and 12" goldfish nets in there to damage the Carp.
Now reading through the flame posts on here makes me laugh as people do read between the lines and indeed the people who actually fish or fished there know the deal but it becomes obvious that some of the flamers have probably not even set foot in the place judging by their comments.
I expect a majority of the flamers have actually been banned because of several reasons and just flaming cause they cant fish there anymore.
Here is some advice for you in order:
1) Don't turn up with Fisher Price tackle
2) Don't turn up unless you can down more than 1 can of beer without making a tit of yourself.
3) Have an income so you don't whine on forums about spending some cash on one of the south's best fisheries.
anyway flame away...I wont be reading..
