Keith Arthur - BAA livebait ban is the thin end of the wedge

rating is 2.5

Keith Arthur, 26 March 2010 17:00

The decision made by the committee of the BAA to ban livebaiting is one of the most serious matters to arise in angling politics in the last decade, in my opinion.

Keith Arthur: I'm so tempted to go back

rating is 0

Keith Arthur, 09 April 2010 17:00

When I learned that a consortium of local clubs with memberships available had taken over the running of Fishers Green I couldn’t have been happier.

rating is 1

Deadbaits wouldn’t be many anglers’ first-choice bait for a big perch, but a lifeless small roach proved irresistible to this impressive Trent stripey weighing 4lb 1oz. The Trent predator was tempted by specimen angler Bryan Culley after experiencing a number of fast, aborted runs while targeting the middle river’s pike population.
