However, my interpretation of the above is that I'm not able to get out given that I'm not "local" to my boat... even though I would come into contact with no-one on the journey from home to the boat and that the only difference between my situation and someone who's local would be the duration of the car journey, I don't fancy my chances persuading a police officer.

Steve, you're now officially allowed to go fishing. New announcement below. https://anglingtrust.net/covid-19/

The link worked for me just now. In case it drops offline again, I've screenshotted it below,

Yes, their server isn't responding now it seems. Too many people clicking the link maybe.

A glimmer of hope perhaps...? https://anglingtrust.net/2021/01/06/covid-19-lockdown-newsflash/ Another update is expected today...

Tempting... but someone has to keep an eye on Tom and Jerry.

He's in so much trouble. I very nearly spat my dummy about his repeated thread crashing... 🤣

Well! I wasn't expecting that to turn up on a fishing forum Jed 🤣

Lovely fish Jed. 👍

Is that suggesting they detect ultra-violet frequencies of light then? And could that influence lure design towards a UV version of a luminescent lure?

Good topic. In my opinion it's got to be a combination of colour, size, shape and frequency of vibration (which varies with density of plastic for soft lures) that turns fish on. I have a personal theory that counter-shading light and dark on lures works because it's easier for fish to see e.g. alternating flashes of light colour is more eye-catching than a constant light silhouette. As for what they see... once the lure is deep enough that all colour is gone, I suppose it's the silhouette and how much contrast the silhouette offers that they pick up on e.g. whether black will stand out more at depth?

Just as funny the second time round. 🤣 8/10.

FFS Ian, don't encourage them! 🤦‍♂️

So how is discussing Zook's Razzle collection related to Fisty's stern gear exactly?

Don't worry Jon. I won't judge you. Happy to take the heat instead of you buddy 😭

Like I said, you're not as funny as you think. My shit jokes don't put off newbies...

Yawn... @JonC and @Saintly Fish, just like me, you two aren't quite as funny as you think. You're crashing your own thread FFS. Let's keep the thread on topic.

Meh.

I was reading an article on BBC News this afternoon where they reckon it will be March at the earliest before restrictions are lifted as this is the earliest date that full immunity would be established for the last of the at risk groups who receive the jab between now and then.

You can't talk you thread-drifting mother-fucker...

I've heard about those Cookie Cutter sharks... believe it or not thanks to my kids watching Octonauts 🤣

Made me chuckle. 7/10.

Quite some fish there Ivan! Kudos to you. Are they tooth marks on the side of the first fish? 😱

No barnacles for you Geoff... but plenty of moss? 😉
