Excellent Phil.

I think it's useful to know where we can fish during the Closed Season.

I,m surrounded by gravel pits with no-one on them ,but getting permission is very hard, I know to "mates" who own pits who won,t let me on because "others will keep asking". One very large pit is for jetski-ing, never seen anyone on it in the last year! I've got three very small pits I have found which I drag the kayak over rough ground to ! lol
still, you know what its like one day you ask a couple and the all say yes, well here's hoping!
