  1. The word 'crabs' has other connotations.
  2. https://www.northnorfolknews.co.uk/news/24188017.traps-combat-spread-chinese-mitten-crabs-norfolk/?ref=eb&nid=2399&nid=2399&block=article_block_a&u=c160d74be8c30ff96c1e228a4a7f5f71&date=180324
  3. Unfortunately, if you do decide to fish from a 24hr mooring and you ground bait etc , it is a tad disappointing if , especially out of season boats decide that is their venue for the night. It is a chance you take. Most fishermen are flexible and mine would just up sticks and move on , the thinking being, you never know further along or another place may be even better. I think to be a fisherman you have to have the attitude of glass half full because there is always a chance that in the next hour , the tide will change and the fish will come back etc. At least it is not as bad as when my two sons were small they used to fish from the beach in Dorset and 9 times out of 10 there would be a 'birds nest' and tears and I would spend ages trying to undo this mass of line all tangled up. I dont think Broads fishermen have this problem.
  4. Just a thought, how wide is Neatishead, was wondering what is the longest boat you could turn up there please? I agree turning on the ropes when it is safe to do so is a win win situation.
  5. And , isnt it good that our forum is moderated. The numpties can perform elsewhere and leave us lot in peace.
  6. It is good to know that this is now in the hands of those who will be dealing with the matter. I must say it is good to know that both sides it is ok to moor for 24hrs as previously thought, https://www.northnorfolknews.co.uk/news/24166531.norfolk-broads-row-breaks-fishermen-boater/?ref=eb&nid=2399&u=c160d74be8c30ff96c1e228a4a7f5f71&date=070324
  7. Surprisingly - No. There seems to be an agenda here and I am not happy with it. The OP showed behaviour by thank goodness a very few fisherman. I am married to a fisherman and there is no way he would behave like that. Most fishermen (and I mean all genders) are decent people, salt of the earth, go to ends to help people , they do not behave like this lot. I think a cage would be the best place for them. Thank goodness the fishing season is about to end.
  8. Definitely a call to the river police. Who the hell do they think they are? It is not a fishing club mooring , it is a 24hr mooring, so they can ........ off may be they would understand that.

    oh dear bit off if you cannot have your holding tank emptied for over 3 months. Also they do refuse collections.

    Not certain if this has been raised here before but it did strike me that 'Louise' the facilities boat must have an awful job getting under the bridge. It must be a worry for properties without main drainage. http://www.broads.org.uk/wiki2018/index.php?title=Boat_Details&BoatId=1079&BoatHistory=1110

    Snap - I too on returning from a boating holiday always for about 2 weeks woke up and wondered where I was, and sitting at my desk I used feel movement of the boat, very strange (dont answer that one). As for bridges once we have gone through I am permanently dreading not being able to get back.
  14. I have only just joined your post and crumbs you do like to do things the hard way. I hold my hat up to you for travelling all that way. Well done. The ship looks amazing and so does the weather. Thank you for posting. You are not missing much here in the UK as , still cold and miserable most of the time. Enjoy every moment.
