Children Writing About the Ocean... 1) - This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly, age 6) 2) - Oysters' balls are called pearls. (Jerry, age 6) 3) - If you are surrounded by ocean, you are an island. If you don't have ocean all round you, you are incontinent. (Mike, age 7) 4) - Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson . She's not my friend any more. (Kylie, age 6) 5) - A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head. (Billy, age 8) 6) - My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots and comes back with crabs. (Millie, age 6) 7) - When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans. (William, age 7) 8) - Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant? Like, really? (Helen, age 6) 9) - I'm not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is always crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy, age 6) 10) - Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves in to chargers. (Christopher, age 7) 11) - When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. (Kevin, age 6) 12) - Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Divers can't go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. (Becky, age 8) 13) - On vacation my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water fired right up her big fat ass. (Julie, age 7) 14) - The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don't drown I don't know. (Bobby, age 6) 15) - My dad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom. (James, age 7) If you didn't smile at one of these, you need to find a better sense of humour.

Beware, you'll get the anti regulation mob after you for saying things like that PJ

I'd be in favour of that for sure, id also like him to sit on the IFCA along side the other Rep PJ

Jim's not a pansy at least not last time i checked PJ

Great report Duncan PJ

happy Birthday Guys PJ

Interesting one Charlie, im not sure where i stand on this. On one hand i dont like the idea of killing the birds, on the other we are responsible for messing up the natural balance ( extracting sea fish) so perhaps we should readdress the balance by culling them - a very sorry situation. I think you are right about the opportunitiy to get these guys on our side as i think many are sympathetic to our situation eg the commercial exploitation of the sea which clearly has had an impact on them PJ PS: i've asked Charlie to consider whether this section should be members only due to it's sensitive nature, not sure what others think? Pro's- stops the likes of shotter wading in un-invited cons - we wont get quality imput from the likes of Reg Phillips etc

Please do come along A great venue for a get together to talk fishing and Nigel does a very good presentation PJ

Was a good Mag when i used to read it but shame about Coppolo and his poisonous pen PJ

Welcome Nick, I've seen you out there many times, cant miss you really Make yourself at home and come along to a meeting, they are actually fun things to attend PJ

Navy patrol catches illegal trawl

Sorry to hear that Nige Anything i can do to help just call PJ

There have been lots of comments that Sea anglers are not represented by the AT as well other types of anglers. This specific Sea angling update is a step in the right direction but i agree the content is not inspiring, to me at least PJ

The Angling Trust has just launched their new Sea Update - good mov e me thinks SEA UPDATE

It would be nice if we could stop or reduce the need target fish for this purpose eg: ban the catching of sandeels for fertilizer etc PJ

Great point
