Cormorant deterent wires most probably,squadrons of them fly inland to predate freshwater stocks of fish,I have caught a cormorant in a gill-net while salmon fishing once And released it alive

i would of shot the bloody thing

 

I havnt shot 5 of the black devils because it is illegal of course without a license. Mans doing though, they are a coastal species and if there was an adequate food supply on the coast they would stay there right? Although maybe its general evolution, see plenty of oystercatchers inland nowerdays whereas 20 years ago you would only spot them on the coast. Have them flying over the house now.

 

Nice chub M, i do like chub very obliging, once caught a beauty on the River Wharf on a PTN

[Guest bigredbusa]

we had a licence to shoot 5 a year , bearing in mind it was a trout farm shooting 5 was never enough

I had 14 chub the other night,all above 2 1/2 Lb,six eels,and a perch I used to shoot loads of comrorants with a .22 rimmie when I lived on the coast,never could resist them as they all perched on the Pylons spanning the river near Washington Wildfowl Refuge,I think they were legal Leastways,no one ever told me I couldnt do it Because I certainly could

I love seeing kids enjoying field sports. My boy is 2 in September and has a strong attraction to water (or dwr as we call it in Welsh). I often wonder where he gets that from ....do you think it could be anything to do with his great Grandfather, Grandfather, and Fathers passionate love of Fishing?

Cheers
