As more of us head of around the world, is it perhaps time to start a new forum category: 'fishing overseas' . Graham?

Difficult this one. As Monk says, carp fishing in France has almost become a case of fishing just a bit further south.

Let's hear some more suggestions, ideas, etc.

Can't say I am all that interested either but there again I am only one person and there are many who do like reading about fishing in foreign lands but the question is would there be enough material for it. Maybe Magicalia could pay for4 anglers a month to go and fish for certain species in foreign climes with the proviso they each write an article it on their return. Sounds good to me, can I go to Florida please?

I would think the idea was inspired by Ricks excellent thread, but Ricks work with the stingray is pretty much stand alone, cutting edge stuff anyway which I would imagine would appeal to a large ordience

Well, we are being taken to the Lido this evening by a Contractor, so I'll do a special report for you tomorrow if you like.

Well an absolute yes from me. Especially given as a site we were quick to slate someone recently who has turned out to be a pioneer.

Overseas is a bit more than fishing in France. And it can be a place where peeps ask about fishing around the world. Ioften travel abroadon business and would love the oppo to ask experiences if I have a spare day.

Plus, it could draw in contributions from anglers outside the UK (which could be good for Graham/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif) otherwise we are just UK centric....

......and how about getting other information like local angling "politics" you never know we may learn something that helps.

France hits the nail on the head precisley for me Posh Paws. If I was stood on top of the cliffs at dover and someone said, "what's that over the sea?", then I would reply,"that's France mate", and he would say, "oh, thanks".

May be I'm a 'little englander' but fishing outside of the UK has never interested me, except for articles in the CSG magazine about chub fishing on the Scandinavian rivers. The site of big foreign carp and cat fish leave me cold.

Even the front covers of C.A.T. have startedto irritate me;big fat, scaleless, whiskered creatures are not my cup of tea, some nice fish though/forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif
