Call for help

REMAP is an organisation of engineers who make devices that are not commercially available for disabled people. They have recently had a request as follows:

The Cheshire Panel has had a request for assistance for a disabled fisherman who is having difficulty holding his maggots and putting them on the hook due to poor grip and dexterity. Our engineers have tried to think of some gadget to hold the maggot without squashing it that can be used on the riverbank but haven't been able to get it quite right - a suction device was contemplated, but its difficult to find the right one.

Has anyone in the other panels got any ideas about solving this one!

My brother Col is Chairman of the Nottingham branch, so if anybody has encountered this problem and solved it can you contact him at nottsremap@googlemail.com
Thanks!

Tim Aston's winning catch from Novembers' match!

We got this from Adrian Pudsey

I just thought you might be interested in the pictures of my son Jason, who placed second in the pike match at Meynells on Sunday 4th Nov. The pike weighed 7lb 13oz and was all his own work from casting to landing. Jason is 9 years old and fished at peg 22.

Well Done Jason!

Ian Palmer (Tetley Capt )

Just got to tell everyone about the results of the tetley. Jelsons came in 6th on the day what a team performance. Phil plummer winning his zone on Frisby Island with 18lbs and our very own match secretary and super sub IVAN Liqourish Battering the likes of Senas at Meynell with 9lbs 5oz off peg 22 winning the zone by 3lbs well done every member of the team and thanks for the drink Ivan . As a final comment Meynell produced resonable weights bar for a few pegs in the channel. Frisby fished crap in comparison.

Lightning strikes!

We found a few large fish on Meynell Lake dead the other day. The Enviroment agency declared that there was no pollution so we were at a loss to explain them, especially as they seem to be all large fish! and of course there had been a lot of rain. We thought it might be run off from farmers fields! However on making a few enquiries I found an old timer who remembers the result of a lightning strike on a lake. Result....large fish dead. I found this on the Internet explaining it:
"A very unique type of fish kill is caused by a lightning strike on water. Death occurs immediately. Large fish, which draw more electricity than small fish, may be killed selectively."

So it seems that we've been the victim of a rare occurance, the fish get killed by the shockwave if they're in the immediate vicinity.

Take care in lightning storms, don't you be the next one we find in the lake!
