grangemilky 335 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 The video wont work on my mobile , can somebody explain what uncle danny is doing please ? He is starting a non profit charity, that is going to do 3 things... 1. Find disused lakes (probably around essex ) and turn them into thriving fisheries. 2. Offer help to lakes to build otter fencing. 3. Try to give angling a voice within the government. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newmarket 2,078 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Well no one can knock him for that thats for sure . Maybe , just maybe , the powers that be may listen to an organization fronted by a well known (for an angler) celebrity . I paticurarly like the non-profit making bit and pleasantly surprised by it too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carpbell 44 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Do yous reckon he reads the site? hi Dan if so. I wouldn't be offended if you popped in to Barston to give me a quick lesson. Leave a set of that Dawia kit you give away on Thinking Tackle too if it helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
welder 1,144 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Well, I'm gently surprised yet greatly impressed. Fair play to the oft maligned but undoubted celebrity that is Danny Fairbrass. Bless him. Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stripey 3 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I hope he can make this work,at least he is trying to do something. Does anyone fancy being a MP for carp fishing,Apparently, you can fiddle you're expenses without worrying too much about getting caught. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trayner 8 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I really like Danny's honesty, and commitment to this great sport of ours, what a great bloke, and what a great idea he has come up with, good luck to you sir and I hope you achieve all you want. in all fairness I don't think its just the otters we have to worry about there are a certain section of our communities that have come here to live and think its acceptable to take our course fish home to eat, Im not being racist or politically incorrect but it is a fact, these people need to be educated and taught that in this country we don't take our fish home, and we look after our wildlife and surroundings, we don't have to live off them and people who come here should do the same, I watched in amazement the other week as 2 young guys were knocking on doors in our street selling live Pike in a bucket to the Polish community in our area and were selling them with no problems, the people were buying them!! I told them in no uncertain terms that what they were doing was wrong, and guess what?? they couldn't understand a word of what I was saying!!!!! So good luck to you Danny Fairbrass, I really hope your project takes off and is very successful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newangler 1 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 You have to applaud this initiative, can only be a good thing and if there's publicity / money in it for DF or Korda so what Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So good luck to you Danny Fairbrass, I really hope your project takes off and is very successful I see one of the biggest threats to carp fishing is people stuffing immature lakes full of fast growing carp, removing all the silver fish, digging pegs 2ft apart, feeding the fish on a certain bait they just happen to sell on site, and calling it a carp fishery. I would like to think that point 1 won't be this threat! sharpy86, Turnip and Ssinbad 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cyborx 2,164 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) @trayner there are a certain section of our communities that have come here to live and think its acceptable to take our course fish home to eat, Im not being racist or politically incorrect but it is a fact, these people need to be educated and taught that in this country we don't take our fish home i have recently bought myself a twin barrel re'educator, and i am giving free lessons around my clubs lakes seriously tho, nice one danny boy. nice to see the heavily slated one doing good for the carping community.

dalthegooner 1,242 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Great idea, frontier d by the best man for the job in the industry in my opinion. Well done Danny Fairbrass. The Richard Branson of the angling world And, if it puts a few more quid in the Korda coffers, fair play. welder 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ginger9991 472 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yeah, Im a fan of the whole Korda thing i have to be honest, I do believe its given anglers and people who want to learn to fish the encouragement and education to get involved. Its made fishing a more "open doors" sport rather then you need to know a fisherman and be deadly serious if you want to fish! Its definatly opened up fishing more to a younger generation and the banter from their show is quite entertaining. They also have a show on ITV next year which is another massive step for the sport. So what if it sells thier tackle? its making the sport popular, putting people on the bank, which is increasing funds for clubs to properly maintain thier lakes (otter fencing etc). Well done to them and may other fishing companies follow thier lead. carp777 and dalthegooner 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

grangemilky 335 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Do we really need MORE people on the banks? Many good syndicates have 5+ year waiting lists, and most popular day tickets are absolutely rammed at weekends, and many weekdays . I don't care how it makes me sound, but deep down inside, I would rather we didn't bring carp fishing to the masses. Brookesy and still scratching 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

liamclose 224 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I can see he trying to do the right thing but takeing tench and nuisence fish out of syndicatloes because some anglers dont want to catch them is so mis guided every lake syndicate or not should have a mixture of species not just carp. Also some of the best fishing in its purest in todays comercial world is to be found on lakes that arnt used by the masses off the beaten track. I hope these arent the sort of waters the organiseation are going to commercialise. On the whole though got to be a positive. Deffonately agree with grange though to me how popular carp fishing impaticular has become is not a good thing far to many instant carp anglers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy52 425 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 He's calling the new organisation Embryo Fishing Habitats , still not sure about this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dalthegooner 1,242 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 The meaning of embryo is an organism in the early stages of growth and differentiation so if you gave it poetic licence it is relevant to finding a virgin water and turning it into a fishery. I agree though, I'm not sure it is the right name. Just doesn't sound right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
